Excited and grateful to welcome the support of Manhattan Councilmember @ebottcher! “The hunger for a new generation of leaders ready to deliver bold, transformative change is palpable, and Zohran embodies that spirit."
The issue isn’t Fox News. The issue isn’t podcasts. The issue isn’t video games. This issue is white supremacy.
Political scientists have spent the last 2 decades wondering what the children who grow up being inundated by Fox News propaganda from their parents would end up like and now we know. And they are legion.
Some GOOD NEWS for a change! This one is personal — it’s been a long time in the making. Thank you to all those who helped along the way.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Judge sentences ex-officer in Breonna Taylor raid to nearly 3 years in prison, declining DOJ request of no prison time.

Deeply honored receive the endorsement of @NYAMCunningham. “Zohran and I came into the Assembly from different lanes, but as sons of immigrants, we’ve always shared a belief in building a New York that works for the people."
DC / VA / MD folks! I’ll be in town to speak at the Voters of Tomorrow summit this weekend and my former bar offered to throw us a meet-and-greet event while I’m there! RSVP today to reserve your spot (and maybe even get a drink made by yours truly): secure.actblue.com/donate/dmvmg
I had a productive meeting with Mahmoud Khalil today who was illegally detained by the Trump admin. Students continue to be wrongfully disciplined for exercising their First Amendment rights and protesting a taxpayer-funded genocide in Gaza. Our institutions shouldn’t fuel an…
