I am incredibly proud to have the support the Columbia University Democrats and excited to campaign alongside their members this spring!

Finally, warmer weather for our petitioning kick off with @micahlasher.bsky.social @kristengonzalez.bsky.social @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social

Gender affirming healthcare saves lives.

I joined activists and leaders outside NYU Langone yesterday to send a clear message: trans youth will always be welcome in New York and we will fight like hell to make sure they get the care they deserve.

I’m incredibly proud to have been endorsed by 7 Democratic clubs in NY-12. Ready to join the team? Come petition with us this weekend: mobilize.us/micahlasher/

Joint statement from me and @micahlasher.bsky.social:

We are disgusted and outraged that ICE agents entered a Columbia University residential building under false pretenses and without a judicial warrant to detain a student.

In the immediate, I will do all that I can, working with Columbia, to fight for the student’s release.

ICE agents entered a Columbia University dorm this morning, apparently under false pretenses and without a judicial warrant, and detained a student.

It is an important reminder to all of us — and particularly our institutions — about the need for collective vigilance against ICE.

It's not a coincidence that the DOJ failed to release the Epstein files that include sexual assault accusations against Donald Trump.

We've seen this pattern time and time again: the DOJ running cover for Trump, acting like his personal lawyer.

Successful first day of petitioning!

Our district office will be operating remotely today, February 23rd, due to the weather.

Grateful and excited to be endorsed by the Broadway Democrats! I’m so proud to have the support of my neighbors on the West Side in this campaign.

Bill proposed to fix corporate tax loophole that costs NY over $700 million each year The MEGA Corporations Act would stop large multinational companies from dodging state taxes by recording lower profits within the United States.

Read more about the MEGA Corporations Act here:

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Trump gave away the store to multinationals like Amazon.

We must make sure they pay their fair share. My MEGA Corporations Act would recover $700M a year for NY from companies hiding profits overseas.

In Congress, I’ll fight to fix our tax code and restore a sense of fairness to our economy.

Incredibly grateful to earn the endorsement of the Hell’s Kitchen Democrats. Excited to have their support as we start petitioning together in Hell's Kitchen next week!

BREAKING: Approximately 4,200 NYSNA nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian reached a tentative agreement late last night to end the historic 6-week strike. Nurses bargained all day and made their voices heard. Congratulations, NewYork-Presbyterian nurses!

We need 1,250 signatures to get on the ballot in June. Petitioning starts next week, February 24. Join us in the fight and sign up at micahlasher.com/volunteer

NYU Langone's decision to end gender-affirming care for youth is a direct result of the right's relentless, malicious attacks on trans people. Capitulating to Trump Admin pressure puts trans kids at risk.

Our institutions should not bend the knee to this fascist, bigoted agenda.

Opinion | Jesse Jackson envisioned a more inclusive politics — and made it happen Like his mentors before him, Jackson has passed the torch. But you can still hear that stirring voice, can’t you?

Rev. Jackson's life was devoted to unity and inclusion, to building power for those without it, to the fight for racial justice and economic opportunity. His campaigns created new hope for a more perfect union, and gave rise to an entire generation of change-makers.

"We meet tonight at the crossroads, a point of decision. Shall we expand, be inclusive, find unity and power; or suffer division and impotence?" These words, spoken by Rev. Jesse Jackson at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, call out to us today.

I'm so honored to have the support of my friend and colleague @ebottcher.bsky.social. Erik has dedicated his career to public service and to the residents of this district. He is beloved by his constituents because he works nonstop for them and always stands up for progressive values.

Policy Push Back: How States Like New York Are Trying to Hold ICE Accountable - Documented Legal remedies largely fail to hold federal agents accountable for use of excessive force. State legislators want to change that.

We need to use every tool available to fight back against ICE.

Our legislation would allow New Yorkers to hold individual ICE agents legally accountable for their actions.

Within just one year of taking office, the Trump Admin has completely shattered the federal government's ability to fight the climate crisis.

The repeal of the endangerment finding is just the latest (but perhaps the worst) in a long-term effort to stop the clean energy transition.

If there’s one place we don’t need corporate consolidation and conglomeration, it’s our healthcare system.

In Congress, I’ll be proud to support @warren.senate.gov bill to enact Glass-Steagall for health care.

The Pride flag at Stonewall is back up! A big crowd of New Yorkers gathered today to say loud and clear: LGBTQ+ history will not be erased by Donald Trump. Grateful to @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social and so many activists who organized to put the Pride flag back in its rightful place. 🏳️‍🌈

Proud to receive the endorsement of Three Parks Independent Democrats! Three Parks has been a pillar of progressive activism on the Upper West Side, and I'm honored to have their support in this fight.

After months of terror, Operation Metro Surge is ending. This is a credit to the people of Minneapolis who came together and fought back.

The fight must continue. ICE must be abolished, and those up and down the chain held responsible for the cruelty, violence and murder they have perpetrated.

Trump administration's changes to the CFPB cost Americans $19B, a new report says The Trump administration has significantly reduced the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's activities over the past year.

This shows the consequences of federal withdrawal from consumer protection — and why this is an affordability issue.

That’s why I fought so hard to pass the FAIR Business Practices Act, so @newyorkstateag.bsky.social would have the power to protect our pocketbooks.

Grateful and energized to earn the endorsement of the Tilden Democratic Club. I can't wait to campaign alongside their dedicated and engaged members.

@nadler.house.gov knows what it takes to lead in Washington. He knows we need fighters who will stand up to Trump. And Democrats need to deliver an agenda that working families can believe in again.

I’m grateful to have Congressman Nadler’s support as we bring that fight to Washington.
