This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.
Earlier this week I joined colleagues in urging @SecRubio to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla. Now my constituent, Zuleyka Morales Rivera, a U.S. veteran, has been abducted with other Americans bringing aid to Gaza. The State Department must act to protect all captives. They must be kept safe, released immediately, and the aid must be allowed to reach those in desperate need.

Calling every Palestinian in Gaza “Hamas” has normalized every killing, rape, torture and act of destruction. Forgive us, Marwa, Motaz, Montaser,& the dozens of thousands already lost -along with the millions still trapped in this genocide- for being so late, slow, and complicit.
Marwa, Motaz, and Montaser Musallam. Three siblings who were killed in their house, remained under the rubble for 44 days. When they were retrieved, they were bones.

Based on reports—including those even Fox isn’t denying—it looks like Trump’s Alaska summit went so sideways that staffers like Caroline Leavitt and Steve Witkoff reportedly left “ashen” and wide-eyed. I wasn’t in the room, but if seasoned operatives come out looking like they saw a ghost, that’s panic. Whatever Trump agreed to (or failed to push back on) clearly set off alarms, and judging by the rush of European leaders to the White House afterward, the damage control started before Air Force One even landed.

“NO - it wasn’t the starvation that killed her as a result of further weakening her immune system, it was the leukemia she also couldn’t get treated because Israel leveled Gaza’s healthcare system & doesn’t allow medication in!” These people are so irrevocably evil, my God.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: @andrewcuomo presided over the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stab housing. And killed NY’s program helping people move out of shelter. Moral clarity: Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 xitter.gq/andrewcuomo/status/195…
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment. You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it. We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don’t need it. Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

Another humanitarian group – this time, Doctors without Borders – concludes Israel is deliberately killing the very people it has been starving by shooting them as they queue for aid. Its report is titled: "This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing." msf.org/not-aid-orchestrated…

Holy shit! David beat Goliath? The people of Tucson banded together and killed an Amazon data center project poised to guzzle millions of gallons of water a day.
BREAKING: Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill Project Blue in the City of Tucson. Listen to the crowd.
