For the third time since I took office, we're funding above the required pension payment — creating a $75M reserve fund for expected costs of adjusting to the Social Security Wage Base. With this fix in effect, we’re protecting taxpayers and state workers from future shortfalls

I lost my dad on Father’s Day 2019. Doesn’t matter how long the time goes by, it’s never any easier for me. I’m grateful for the gift of my wonderful father. He was the best of us. Happy Father’s Day to you amazing dads, father figures, and folks who are stepping up in all of the ways. ♥️

Important: Trump's suspension of deportation raids on agriculture/hospitality infuriated many inside WH, reports NYT. MAGA influencers also angry. Again, the real story here is that mass deportations have driven a schism in MAGA that Dems can exploit, as I tried to argue in the piece below.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

With Tish James as our Attorney General, New Yorkers have a champion for the rule of law, a fighter who stands up for working people over greedy corporations, and a leader who has taken on Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo—and won. I am so proud to have her support.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

After 3 years in Russian captivity, Elena’s husband from Mariupol is finally home. He wasn’t a soldier—just a man who joined the city’s territorial defense to protect his home from Russian forces. For that, he was taken, tortured, and held without rights. Like thousands of other Ukrainians.

"If we don't knock the predator's teeth out he won't stop." In an interview with @newsmax.com, Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about how putin is trying to strip Ukrainians of their freedom — even when it comes to faith. According to the President, this isn't something for the state to decide.

A father's job is to protect, support, teach, and love their child. In Ukraine, thousands of dads are also defending the entire country. On #FathersDay, we wish for all of them to return home safely and for every child to be able to hug them again. Happy Father’s Day❤️

Senator Richard Blumenthal is right. From the greatest generation to today, there’s no shortage of heroes worthy of a military parade. But Donald Trump turned today’s parade into a celebration of himself.
