Honored that I've been appointed by the #BidenHarris Administration + sworn in as the Press Director for the @PeaceCorps. Since its inception, more than 240K Americans have served in 142 countries. I look forward to sharing America with the world + supporting @POTUS and @VP goals
I had an absolutely disgusting experience with a recent order from @UberEats @Uber @Uber_Support — and even worse customer service! I ordered chicken wings from a local restaurant through the Uber Eats app. When the food arrived, I was shocked to discover that the wings had not…
ICYMI: @JustinBrannan is taking a look at a run for congress to challenge @NMalliotakis. “Look, Nicole is a ghoul and she’s gotta go, she’s not doing a good job serving her constituents, she’s serving the President,” says Brannan. @PIX11News
Congrats to the amazing @votejgr on a phenomenal campaign launch for New York State Senate District 13 (Queens)! I look forward to doing what I can to help get this champion elected. 🇵🇷🏳️🌈
A friendly reminder that faith often serves as the foundation for courage. Whether I'm in deep valleys or atop of dizzying mountains - I thank you, God.
Had a great time at the 178th Independence celebration at the Embassy of Liberia hosted by H.E. Ambassador Conteh! 🇺🇸🦅🫱🏽🫲🏿🇱🇷🌍 Formerly a United States colony, the country was founded in 1822 as a haven to house and settle freed African-American slaves. #Liberia became the first…
Some people like to proclaim that the age of heroes has passed. That in a world defined by complexity and chaos, the idea of clear-cut courage feels outdated. They’re wrong. If you’re ever tempted to think otherwise, look no further than NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit.

Let’s do this nationwide please! 🙏🏽
🚨 Gov. @KatieHobbs just erased $429 million in medical debt for Arizonans! This is what delivering for your state looks like.
#WednesdayThoughts - Shoutout to all the dishwashers and cocktail waitresses working hard on a career pathway to becoming small business owners, entrepreneurs and restaurant owners. We see you and respect the grind of economic mobility. We want that for our residents and…
Contrary to what one of the commenters here thinks, most casino jobs - and not just the "temporary" construction jobs - ARE union jobs. Think Las Vegas and Detroit, UAW and Teamsters.
I'm sorry Riley, but the permanent jobs that offered pay well beyond the average household income in the Bronx were considered to be beneath the councilwoman and her family.
Grateful to be named a 40 Under 40 honoree by the National Peace Corps Association and WorldView Magazine. At the U.S. Peace Corps, I had the pleasure to represent 64 countries, led a global campaign that reached over 1 billion people, negotiated international MOUs, and made…
New York City is home to over 500,000 Haitian-Americans and they proudly vote! Outside of local city council races, this community hasn’t gotten enough attention but with @ZohranKMamdani as our Democratic nominee for Mayor, the community is finally being engaged. Kuddos to Z’s…
Little Haiti is vibrant. And it’s facing the same cost of living crisis as neighborhoods across the city. That's why @bkdems Chair @AMBichotte and I are bringing the Democratic Party together around a shared vision for an affordable New York. I am grateful for her endorsement!
The Bronx deserves a real sustainable employment plan with action. The people need jobs, economic development, and support for union members.
Man wtf
ZERO shootings or murders in New York City on July 4th. The last time in recorded history that happened was…never…
I was proud to stand with @GovKathyHochul, @SenatorMyrie, @MoniqueAd58 & leaders & advocates all across New York to take on our gun violence crisis. The Office of Gun Violence Prevention will save lives — period.
The category is pride and protest. 🪭🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ To kick off #NYC’s #pride weekend, we at #nycgmc joined the icon @theebillyporter @RepublicRecords @TrevorProject and @StonewallCF at the historic @EmpireStateBldg to light up the building. While much progress has been made since the…
We are shocked and deeply offended that Heritage of Pride has decided to exclude LGBTQ+ members of the NYPD from participating in the Pride March. It is the height of hypocrisy that uniformed officers from @GOALny are fit to line the route and keep everyone safe, but they are…
