In just two weeks, New Yorkers have the chance to elect candidates who understand that working people are hurting and the time is now for New York City’s government to represent ordinary people and not just the 1%.
For New York City Public Advocate, I'm proud to endorse @JumaaneWilliams who is a tireless fighter for working people.
For New York City Comptroller, I'm endorsing @bradlander because he will stand up to special interests and demand the change working people need.
For Manhattan District Attorney, I’m proud to endorse @TahanieNYC who will lead the wave of progressive prosecutors working to end mass incarceration and change the face of criminal justice in this country.
For Brooklyn Borough President, I’m proud to endorse @ReynosoBrooklyn who is a proven progressive champion fighting on the frontlines for stronger tenant protections, meaningful criminal justice reform, and environmental justice.
I’m joining with @AOC and @nycDSA to endorse @Adolfo4Council, @tiffany_caban, @jaslinforqueens, @alexaforcouncil for City Council.
I’m proud to endorse @mike4brooklyn and @disruptionary for City Council who will always put working people before the interests of the wealthy and the powerful.

Progressive candidates had a great election night. I want to thank everyone who got out there and helped make this happen. There will now be more strong progressives in the U.S. House than ever before. I’d like to quickly highlight a few of them.
Let me congratulate @SummerForPA on her resounding victory in Pennsylvania's 12th District. Summer ran a great campaign and withstood an onslaught of outside money from billionaires. She will be a great congresswoman for the working class. Image
Congratulations to @BeccaBalintVT on her historic win. I look forward to working together on behalf of Vermont's working families in Congress. Image

Over the last few years, the people of this country have sent some incredible candidates to Congress. They are working every day to build a nation that works for all of us. Today, I’m proud to announce my support for their reelection campaigns.
Congresswoman @AOC has been a fierce champion for the working people of NY-14. She is an inspiration for millions of young people who understand that if they are going to have a bright future, they must be engaged in political struggle. I’m proud to endorse her for reelection.
I'm proud to endorse Congressman @JamaalBowmanNY for reelection. We need more progressive champions in Congress who are committed to ensuring that large, profitable corporations that rip off working families are held accountable. I look forward to continuing our work together.

Putin is not only an autocrat who initiated an illegal & immoral war against Ukraine, he's the leader of an oligarchic kleptocracy that's stolen billions from the Russian people. In Russia, ordinary people struggle while Oligarchs make out like bandits – which they are. (1/14)
Incredibly, the 500 richest people in Russia with a net worth of at least $100 million now own more wealth than the bottom 99.8% of Russia’s population - 145 million people. This is the type of inequality that exists not just in Russia, but throughout the world. (2/14)
The top 0.01% in Russia has stashed over two-thirds of its wealth offshore, while the top 1% in Russia owns as much wealth offshore as the rest of the Russian population holds onshore. Globally, the rich & powerful have stashed at least $21 trillion in offshore tax havens. (3/14)

For whatever reason, there are pundits out there who say we should compromise even more and cut back on addressing the long-neglected problems facing working families as well as climate change.

REALLY?

Please tell me where we should cut.
Should we end the $300 direct payments to working class parents which have cut childhood poverty in our country by half?
Should we continue to ignore the dysfunctionality of our child care system which forces millions of working families to spend 20-30% of their limited incomes on childcare and keeps over a million women out of the workforce?

Is it acceptable to you that while 2 people own more wealth than the bottom 40% in this country, half our people live paycheck to paycheck, seniors are unable to hear or to see the world around them, and new moms are guaranteed ZERO paid days to spend with their baby?
To me, that level of inequality is morally unconscionable.

Now is the time for legislation that says yes, in the richest country on the face of the planet, seniors must be able to age with dignity — we must expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses.
Now is the time for legislation which says yes, it is absurd that the United States is the only major country not to guarantee workers some form of paid family and medical leave — we must end that absurdity and guarantee paid leave to workers.

I am on my way to Kentucky to give a major address at 2:30 p.m. ET about the future of our country and the choices we have to make. The vision of Sen. Mitch McConnell and the Republican Establishment versus that of the Progressive movement could not be clearer.
We want a government that represents the needs of struggling working families. McConnell wants a government that does the bidding of the wealthy and large corporations.
We want all Americans to have health care as a human right. McConnell led the effort to throw up to 32 million Americans off the health care they had.
