  2. #JackSchlossberg, born John Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg, is the son of the artist Edwin Schlossberg & attorney/author/diplomat #CarolineKennedy — the only surviving child of US president John F. Kennedy (#JFK) & First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

    #Schlossberg said he would run for the congressional seat being vacated by #US #House Rep #JerryNadler, joining the crowded Democratic primary in an influential #NYC district & continuing his family’s legacy in electoral #politics.

  3. #JerryNadler shared his plans with NYT last week on the condition that they not be publicized until Monday. He spoke for an hour about triumphs, fears & his shifting views on the war in #Gaza, all while surrounded by talismans of a half-century in public life: old maps of #Manhattan, placards from 16 years in the State Assembly, a photo with Bella Abzug, a former congresswoman & a political mentor.

  4. #JerryNadler, who is both the longest-serving New Yorker & #Jewish member of the #House, had already been swept up in an intraparty reckoning over aging leaders. He was forced to give up his #House #Judiciary Cmte leadership at the beginning of the term when it became clear a younger, more energetic colleague would beat him. Back home, he was facing a 26-year-old primary challenger.

  5. In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, #JerryNadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that #Trump is threatening the foundations of #democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard.

    “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, & I think I want to respect that,” Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

  6. Representative #JerryNadler, a #NewYork #Democrat who has been one of #Congress’s leading #liberal voices for 3 decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.

    The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Nadler at the center of major #CivilRights battles & 3 presidential #impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of #Manhattan.

  7. …“While no arrests were made & the situation was quickly deescalated, I am alarmed by the aggressive & heavy-handed tactics #DHS is employing in NYC & across the country. The decision to enter a congressional office & detain a staff member demonstrates a deeply troubling disregard for proper #legal boundaries,” Rep #JerryNadler said in a stmnt.

  8. In the video,…#DHS officers entered #JerryNadler’s district office & accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying & being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a #warrant.

  9. This is crazy.

    #DHS agents invade a congressman's offices & #arrest a staffer who tried to stop them.

    In a dramatic incident captured on video, DHS police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep #JerryNadler’s aides in his Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an #immigration #courthouse.

  10. #ElizabethWarren Calls for Crackdown on Internet ‘Monopoly’ You've Never Heard of

    US senator Elizabeth Warren and congressman #JerryNadler have demanded the government investigate whether #VeriSign, steward of the .com domain, is ripping off customers and violating #antitrust laws.

  11. #JerryNadler (D) voiced similar concerns in a letter last month after some users reported temporarily being unable to follow an #X account for the #Harris campaign. Nadler wrote that if X was “intentionally throttling or blocking” the account, it would “amount to egregious #censorship.”

  12. The #X chatbot shared the #disinformation for >1 week until it was corrected in late July.

    In a press release announcing the move, #JerryNadler’s office cited #GymJordan’s “extensive focus on allegations of #censorship on #SocialMedia this #Congress.”

  13. Now #Democrats are turning that complaint around, questioning whether #GOP ally #ElonMusk’s #X is suppressing #content favoring MVP #KamalaHarris to help #Trump’s reelection bid.
    
On Mon, Rep #JerryNadler (D) called on House #Judiciary Chair #GymJordan (R) to “investigate political censorship” on X, citing the company’s #chatbot, #Grok, falsely telling users #Harris was ineligible to appear on the 2024 ballot.

  14. “Justice is no longer blind in America. Today it’s driven by politics. Example number one is President Trump,” #Republican #House #Judiciary Cmte Chair #GymJordan said at the hearing.

    Rep #JerryNadler, the ranking #Democrat, ripped his #GOP colleagues on the cmte for becoming “little more than a field office for the #Trump campaign. …These #Republicans don’t care about what’s in the interest of the American people. They just care about getting their favorite #felon back in the WH.” 🔥

    Well, Hamilton must be from Barcelona, I guess.

    RT @Acyn
    Nadler: You authored Jordan’s amicus brief.. you used transcripts taken by this committee. Are you aware that these transcripts have not been released to the public?

    Hamilton: I have no awareness of anything
