HAPPENING TODAY: The House is considering my bill, the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act. This bill will reverse decades of failed federal policies based on the criminalization of marijuana. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m heartbroken by the heinous terrorist attacks in Israel over the last week. I mourn with the innocent victims’ families and with the people of Israel. May their memories be a blessing. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Ambassador @deborahlipstadt — a fearless leader in the fight against global antisemitism. I look forward to working with your office at @StateDept to support your vital work. https://t.co/MD0yEcjGNr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

The House just passed The #AffordableInsulinNow Act. Nearly 1 in 4 Americans who rely on insulin cannot afford their doses. This victory ensures vital and affordable access to life-saving medication for more than 37 million people in the United States who have diabetes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

The passage of #AffordableInsulinNow means helping children, seniors, and families retain reliable access to insulin. I urge my colleagues to support capping insulin prices at $35/month which would be life-changing for millions of Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

From 2014 to 2019, the average price of insulin rose by 54 percent. Nearly 26% of Americans with diabetes ration their insulin as least once a year. It is long past time to hold big pharma accountable & take meaningful action to bring down the cost of this critical medication. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

Today the House is considering the Affordable Insulin Now Act. This bill will cap out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35/month. Here in the United States insulin is more than 10x the price compared to other high-income countries. This measure is commonsense and lifesaving policy. https://t.co/9G3iql6QSf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

State and local government officials who infringe on the constitutional rights of their citizens must be held accountable, but the doctrine of qualified immunity currently stands in the way. It is imperative, therefore, that we address this issue. https://t.co/VgrXkQrlez — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

Notably, the text of Section 1983 says nothing about qualified immunity, nor is it written in the Constitution. Qualified immunity subverts the very purpose of Section 1983 and denies justice to victims of state-sponsored abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

Unfortunately, the accountability that Congress sought to achieve remains largely unrealized. This is, in large part, because of court decisions applying and expanding legal protections for defendants through the doctrine of qualified immunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

Section 1983 originated from the unwillingness of state officials to protect and enforce the constitutional rights of African Americans after the Civil War. During this period, the Ku Klux Klan and its allies used racial violence and terror to undo the gains of Reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

In 1871, Congress passed one of the earliest civil rights laws in our Nation’s history—the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. Section 1 of that law, now codified as 42 U.S.C. § 1983, empowers individuals to sue state and local government officials who violate their federal rights. — PolitiTweet.org

This bill would require landlords to have a legitimate reason to pursue eviction and help keep thousands of NY families in their homes. I encourage my fellow lawmakers in the legislature to pass this bill! https://t.co/HVZRSsZyjA — PolitiTweet.org

COVID has caused unprecedented housing instability for tenants across New York State.
