    Words cannot express my gratitude. The people of the Bronx and Queens, and countless supporters across the country, elected us on a clear mandate to fight for economic + social justice in the United States of America. And that is what we will do.

    Well, no one's mistaking me for an intern these days, but I've definitely been stopped from going to the floor of the House because "spouses aren't allowed."

    People keep giving me directions to the spouse and intern events instead of the ones for members of Congress 🤦🏽‍♀️

    This is a very smart look at what is up to in Congress and why it might just work.

    I compared 's outsider-like strategy inside the halls of Congress to successful activism by legendary black labor leader A. Philip Randolph, and oddly enough, the Tea Party.

    Think whatever you want about , but I'm so impressed by how ready she is for the unprecedented daily onslaught.

    If I walked into Congress wearing a sack, they would laugh & take a picture of my backside. If I walk in with my best sale-rack clothes, they laugh & take a picture of my backside. Dark hates light - that’s why you tune it out. Shine bright & keep it pushing.✨

    The reason journos from to can’t help but obsess about my clothes, rent, or mischaracterize respectful convos as “fights” is bc as I’ve said, women like me aren’t supposed to run for office - or win. & that’s exactly why the BX and Queens sent me here.

    . keeps getting shamed for her clothes because critics feel threatened by what she represents, and so they choose to focus on her appearance to show that she’s not who she says she is—and by extension, that she doesn’t belong: via

    Thank you Rep for this excellent answer. ✊🏽 "The question that is never asked of a white candidate when they represent a minority-majority district is that - 'How did you win your election?'"

    I legitimately got excited watching flip through her freshman members book and describe each activity of orientation on her Instagram stories. Just so real and relatable in a way we rarely see with members of Congress.

    Who else is lovvvving the new congresswomen instagramming and tweeting their trips to DC? They’re so excited, and it’s just so very human. That absence of entitlement, and their clear understanding of the gravity of their roles, is exactly what we want from our public servants.

    On behalf of our children Max, Charlie and Sam, thank you and Sunrise. This is why we need millennials in the House, we have no time to waste to spare their future.

    This proposal isn’t a flash point for the leader - it’s a flash point for our party. We need to act on climate change NOW w/ a *fossil fuel $-free* Select Committee *with a mandate* to draft a Green New Deal. It’s our best chance to beat the clock.

    This critical lawsuit exposes the inhumane practices of ICE right here in NY. ICE is locking people up and throwing away the key. Shout out to the courageous advocates who brought this case, among them my wife Zoe Levine, and Jackie Pearce!
