Foot on the gas

  We won. Our endorsed candidates — Claire Valdez, Brad Lander, and Darializa Avila Chevalier — are headed to Washington to fight for us in the next Congress. In June, they overcame steep odds to win their primaries. This week, they finished the job. And these wins matter because they prove what we’ve said from the start: our movement was never about one person or one office, and it was never a fluke. I hear often that the politics we’re fighting for here in New York can’t survive outside our city limits. Tuesday night answered that. Working people are the majority, whether we’re talking about Allentown or Austin, Ann Arbor or Astoria, and it is time to put those same people first in our politics. Claire, Brad, and Darializa represent different corners of our city, but they share the question at the heart of my work as mayor: how do we make life better for New Yorkers than it was the day before? Now they’ll be asking it in the halls of the Capitol. That means we can stop playing d...

25,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED

  Friend, WE CAN'T LET THIS SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS: Donald Trump is planning to hand over a chunk of Yosemite National Park to a private developer!   We need a SURGE of support to pressure Congress to PROTECT YOSEMITE. ADD YOUR NAME RIGHT NOW ↙↙ 25,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED: SIGN OUR PETITION TO DEMAND CONGRESS PROTECT YOSEMITE >> Friend, Yosemite is our oldest national park and often considered the crown jewel of the parks system. But now, Donald Trump is considering handing over a large swath of the public land that makes up one corner of the park to a private developer intent on creating a resort accessible only by the super-wealthy! This is the exact OPPOSITE of what our national parks are meant to be used for. This land should be protected with non-partisan authority for generations to come and for future generations to cherish — NOT fall victim to Donald Trump's anti-conservation, profit-hungry agenda! WE NEED A SURGE OF SUPPORT TO PRESSURE CONGRESS TO PROTECT YOSE...

Trump demands huge increase in NSPM-7 funding before Democrats take over

Image
  A group of anti-ICE activists in Texas is facing a combined 556 years in prison on phony domestic terrorism charges following a protest outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. Several of the defendants did little more than wear all black to a protest. One person who didn't even go to the protest got 30 years just for moving a box of leftist literature. 1 These were the very first prison sentences handed out under NSPM-7, Donald Trump's presidential order directing the Justice Department to prosecute left-wing activists as domestic terrorists. Now Trump is demanding that Congress ram through a major increase in funding for NSPM-7 enforcement during the post-election lame duck session of Congress, before Democrats take over in January. 2 We're fighting back to stop him. Will you make a donation to support our campaign to stop NSPM-7 and push for other key reforms? If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to D...

My Bill Holds Data Centers Accountable and Makes Energy Cheaper

Image
  November 7, 2026 Dear Friend, On Tuesday night the American people gave Congress a clear mandate: Lower our bills. We have a chance to get started right now, with my Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA). BAAJA would hold data centers accountable, lower your electricity costs, and get more clean electrons onto the grid – responsibly.   We don’t have to wait until the next Congress to start lowering your bills. We can do it right now, if we pass BAAJA.  Sincerely,     MARTIN HEINRICH United States Senator New analyses contend New Mexico US Sen. Heinrich’s permitting bill would cut emissions, costs  Bill critics say sponsors should wait until next year when Democrats control Congress.   By: Patrick Lohmann, November 5, 2026   New analyses of a permitting reform bill U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) has championed say that its provisions would reduce emissions and costs to ratepayers, as well as recover billions of dollars from d...
