The hospital in Georgia didn’t “save a life” They had that chance when Adriana Smith sought medical care. They could have saved her & her fetus. What they did was carry out a medical experiment without consent. They failed her in life & then robbed her of dignity in death 🧵

Every NYC liberal should rank Lander and Mamdani and NOT rank Cuomo. This is very straightforward. Even if Mamdani and Lander are lower on your ballot.

Those who support the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian student and activist who was detained for three months without any criminal charges, are the baddies. It's really that simple.

After decades of mismanagement, Illinois is balancing our budgets, and the results are clear. Our pension funded ratio is improving. Our Rainy Day Fund is at record highs. Our credit upgrades have taken us to A-level ratings. We're not resting on our laurels, though.

Congress appropriated the money for transportation projects. If Congress wanted to tie it to immigration for some reason they could have, but they didn’t. A Transportation Secretary is not Congress.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.
