Like I said, it’s always been New York or nowhere! Happy Pride.

Why does Dan Goldman take corporate PAC money? We gave him a few more words to explain it. My answer is a good deal simpler: I’ve never taken corporate PAC contributions, and I never will.

At the time when our party is failing to meet the moment, no one is clamoring for more corporate establishment Democrats in Congress. That's why I'm running in this primary. I'm campaigning on a 30-year record of standing with my neighbors to beat back wealthy special interests.

Politics can be a team sport on behalf of the city we love. (I’ll leave the no-look passes to the Knicks for the rest of the series).

"People, not special interests, should have the power in our democracy." Right on, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social! Let’s show that people power ahead of our final pre-primary fundraising deadline tonight. Can you pitch in a few bucks to help us defeat the special interests & take back NY-10?

I met Carlos Lopez in court last July, minutes before he was illegally abducted by ICE in the hallway. Thankfully, we were able to reunite him with his family, but only a morally bankrupt system would detain him to begin with. (1/2)

We've had enough of corporate Democrats who take money from the billionaires driving up the cost-of-living. It's time for new leaders who will stand up to special interests & actually deliver for working people. NY-10 is ready for change.

Is our quarter-billionaire Congressman who has “no problem taking money from anyone” really looking out for you?

191 37

NY-10 voters want leaders who fight billionaires and deliver for working families. Leaders willing to put their bodies on the line to protect our immigrant neighbors. We don’t need more corporate Democrats like Dan Goldman who take money from Wall Street, crypto & AIPAC.

Two big ideas I'm running on to address our housing crisis: Social Bonds to finance affordable housing & "Street-to-Home” Vouchers to help unhoused Americans with serious mental illness. (1/2)

Thanks to the East Village neighbors who joined me on 14th Street last night for this year’s first Manhattanhenge!

Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s plan to build 200,000 new homes, protect tenants, and invest in public housing will make this a more affordable city for New Yorkers. In Congress, I’ll be a strong partner for the resources to bring this vision to life. (1/2)

I found the Epstein files hard to read, including one in which a NYC law-firm managing partner asked about granting – and revoking – visas. That led @elizaorlins.bsky.social and me to share a moment of candor at the end about our feelings towards ICE... (1/2)

Ilana Glazer and I are both proud Jewish New Yorkers who believe unapologetically that our safety is inextricably bound up with that of our neighbors, including Palestinians. And that AIPAC and the candidates they support aren’t making any of us safer or freer.

Special limited time offer for rich people looking to buy an election: Don't miss out on Dan Goldman's Matching Funds Program! 💰

The Fabulous Fifth Avenue Fair was, well, fabulous! Ran into many old friends — and met plenty of new ones. Attending the fair always feels like a blast from the past. When I was Director of the Fifth Avenue Committee in the 1990s, we organized it. (1/3)

Today is Meg & my 30th wedding anniversary! And, of course, we’re celebrating it by getting out the vote 🤷‍♂️ (1/5)

A year ago, I appeared on The Late Show alongside @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. The idea of a cross-endorsement was still a hard concept for many to fathom. But the evening before Election Day, we went on to share how we united for the good of the city we love. (1/3)

Our first TV ad is up! 📺 We’ve got a fascist president, rogue ICE agents and billionaires trying to buy our elections. But around here, neighbors showing up for each other is how we fight back. My neighbors and I approve this message.

This morning at 26 Federal Plaza, I'm relieved to report that I saw no ICE agents roaming the halls & no abductions. On Monday, a federal judge confirmed what we’ve said for a year: ICE's arrests in NYC immigrant courts are lawless. (1/4)

Touch-a-Truck is one of the biggest days of the year for many a transportation- construction- and infrastructure-loving set of kids. Not that I’m speaking from experience ;-) (1/2)

Here’s the full story of what happened today and why ICE arrests in NYC immigration courts will have to stop.

I first heard "Streets of Minneapolis" at a protest on Nicollet Avenue on the day the song came out, blaring from a car with its windows down (despite the frigid cold) to play it for all of us. It was equally chilling to hear Springsteen sing it at MSG last night. (1/2)

$29 billion and counting spent on Trump's illegal war. Every dollar of which would've been better spent on housing, healthcare & childcare here at home. Restrain this deranged president. Pass a War Powers Resolution now.

After Signature Bank failed in 2023, I made an innovative investment as Comptroller that saved 35,000 affordable housing units in New York — and delivered a great return for NYC’s retirees at the same time.

Who doesn't agree with taxing billionaires more? Oh right, the billionaires! They may whine about it (and even try buying elections to stop us), but the movement is growing to tax obscene wealth — and use it to fund child care, health care, and affordable housing. (1/2)

This was a fun one: “Explain It to Me Like I’m High” with Ilana Glazer. How do we fix our housing crisis? More apartments … and more (housing) coupons.

Today was supposed to be the trial date for my arrest last September at 26 Federal Plaza. My trial was postponed until early June, so I used the time for another court-watching shift. We must continue to fight back together against ICE’s lawless abductions.

Marek, Rosa, and I are feeling very lucky today — and every day. Grateful for the chance to celebrate my mom, and their mom, and reflect on how we can do better to appreciate all the moms out there. Happy Mother's Day!

Our campaign just received a major bark of approval. 🐾 Such a pleasure to earn the endorsement of Simon, the Dog Mayor of NYC. Tails are wagging all across NY-10!

No doubt about this: the Five Boro Bike Tour is the best the BQE ever looks.

@jumaane.bsky.social repping the Knicks hard! (2/2)

The Five Boro Bike Tour is like riding through our city with 30,000 friends! Glad to run into these two on the FDR southbound: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & (fellow former comptroller) @liunewyork.bsky.social.

An important day to talk about reforming — and expanding — the Supreme Court. If we want to stop this radical SCOTUS from eliminating civil rights protections, we’re going to have to act more boldly. (1/2)

Attaboy “has had an outsized influence on the bar industry globally” (per Wikipedia). So far, they’ve set trends with hip craft cocktails & immaculate LES vibes. Now, their owners have the chance to start an even cooler trend: voluntarily recognizing their union! (1/2)

City Council District 3: Vote Tuesday for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social, the fighter the district deserves! Lindsey had the guts to stand up to the most powerful man in NYS, when so many stayed silent. Working families need more leaders with that kind of courage. Let's elect her to City Council.

I loved @benmckenzie.bsky.social's new movie exposing the greed & grift of the crypto industry. Can’t wait to take these lessons to Congress so we protect people, not scammers. (1/2)

Dan Goldman is unleashing his massive personal fortune into this race. A blatant attempt to buy this election and subvert the will of NY-10 voters. He may have the money, but we have the people. Can’t thank @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social enough for coming to NYC to support our grassroots movement.
