We will fight them politically. We will fight them governmentally. We will fight them in court. We will fight them in terms of winning the hearts and minds of the people of Texas and beyond.
It’s an all-hands-on-deck moment, and all options should be on the table to protect the people of Texas.
Donald Trump has ordered Greg Abbott and compliant Texas Republicans to race back to Austin have a special session in order to rig the congressional map and undermine the ability of Texans to have a free and fair midterm election. That is…
The murder of a brave New York City police officer and several innocent civilians is tragic and horrifying.
I join millions of New Yorkers in mourning the horrific murder of New York Police Department officer Didarul Islam in yesterday’s tragic, senseless mass shooting.

Democrats didn’t put the Jeffrey Epstein thing into the public domain. This was a conspiracy that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and these MAGA extremists have been fanning the flames of for the last several years, and now the chickens are coming…
