You should be able to Google something the old fashioned way.

We should fund schools, homes and hospitals here — not bomb them abroad. Our new ad, "Ceasefire," is now airing.

Now that’s a helpful Mayor

Our next ad: Randy shares his struggle to find affordable housing and why we need more tenants in Congress.

This week, we launched three new 15-second spots highlighting the New Yorkers I’ve served and the fights I’ll lead in Congress. Here’s Jennifer and Charlie on Medicare for All.

A great night in Brooklyn. Five days left.

I'm running for Congress to make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share so we can fund Medicare for All, good union jobs, truly affordable housing and the future we deserve. New ad just dropped.

Last month, Chris Rabb shocked the political establishment and won a huge victory in the primary for PA-3. Now he’s ready to help us do it again. Join him on our phonebank today at 5pm.

What kind of Democratic majority do we want to build? I know my answer.

Greetings from Albany where we're rallying with NYSUT to Fix Tier 6, a pension category imposed more than a decade ago by disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo that takes money of the pockets of teachers and makes it harder to recruit public workers.

The people united.

Art can't be a luxury made by and for the few. But the cost of living has made it impossible for so many New Yorkers to create the culture that makes this city beautiful. I joined Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani at MoMA PS1 to talk about my journey in the arts and keeping NYC vibrant.

For decades, we've been sold the lie that empire advances freedom and keeps us safe. Instead, it's led to violence, instability and a ruling class that reaps the profits but never pays the bill. Today we're releasing our vision for a different foreign policy.

"Claire is the progressive we can trust." - Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Our new ad is now live.

I’m a union organizer, Assemblymember, and democratic socialist running for Congress in NY-07. I came to politics through low-wage jobs and the labor movement. That’s the perspective I’ll bring to Washington to take on oligarchy, fascism, and war—and win for working people.

Statistically speaking, at least one person went from the Nowadays 24-hour party straight to the early voting booth today. Great night in Bushwick and Ridgewood w/ Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

Two and a half years ago, Israeli leaders clearly stated their intent to carry out a genocide in Gaza. And that's exactly what they did. I was in the streets with so many New Yorkers protesting our complicity and to free Palestine. Antonio Reynoso stayed silent.

If hasanabi can phonebank, so can you.

If you're going to start taking big real estate money, at least be honest about it.

Democratic socialism is about extending democracy beyond the ballot box to our workplaces, our neighborhoods, our economy. Proud to be a member of NYC-DSA 🌹.

Congress has more landlords than tenants. No wonder they serve the people raising our rent instead of paying it. In NY-7, 77% of us are tenants. I'll fight for universal rent control, affordable homes, and full funding for NYCHA. Housing is a human right, not a commodity.

There's a fascist in the White House. For New York to put new restrictions on the right to assemble is a terrible idea. And the illegal sale of Palestinian land should be protested.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard was home to a drone manufacturer that contracted with the Israeli military and Trump's Customs and Border Protection — until New Yorkers organized, fought and won. Jabari Brisport was on the frontlines. I'm so honored to have his support.

When we fight, we win. Love you all. Solidarity forever.

Accomplished actor. Committed activist. Claire for Congress supporter. Thank you Mark Ruffalo!

Pretty good night in Ridgewood.

It's too rare to be genuinely proud to vote for your Congressmember but that's exactly how I felt every time I cast a ballot for Rep. Nydia Velazquez. Her decades of progressive leadership are unparalleled and I'm deeply grateful for her support in this transition.

I just got to announce live on MS NOW that our grassroots campaign passed 300,000 doors knocked a little earlier this evening.

Not one more dollar for Israel and its genocide.

April ends at midnight. And we've got some serious money to raise before then. An important message from Zohran Kwame Mamdani and David Hogg 🟧 of Leaders We Deserve:

Our first ad of the campaign — "The Good Life" — is live.
