Chag Pesach Sameach to family and friends gathering tonight for Seder! May you all celebrate and find meaning during this time of renewal as we all fight for freedom.

#NY24 Rep Claudia Tenney was invited. She informed us she attends no rally that she herself did not plan. We meet anyway! We listen, we learn, and make it clear to Tenney that we’re concerned with the state of our Nation and we won’t be ignored. All are welcome who support democracy.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

This state is stronger because of leaders like Bong Delrosario. As Director of Transportation Policy and Programs in the Maryland Department of Disabilities, he works to improve transportation systems for all Marylanders, including testifying on our Model Employer Act.

He won’t because…

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!
