27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

In full uniform, Maj. Jason Watson walked up the Capitol stairs on Wednesday carrying a sign saying “Impeach. Convict. Remove.” He held it up for three minutes before he was arrested. Read the full story here: https://wapo.st/4vlLhkF

The Emperor Has No Clues

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

The Guarantee is aimed at addressing rising costs, economic insecurity, and job loss driven by automation and AI. It includes a major jobs program, guaranteed childcare and housing, paid family leave, and lowering the cost of housing. wfpus.org/guarantee

New York City Council just released a budget proposal. Here's what New Yorkers should know:

With Tax Day coming up, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free. (Published 2019)

Every time we try to get policy that actually helps working people, Republicans say "it's too expensive." That lie has never been more clear. If they can find $1 billion a day to bomb schools overseas, it's not a budget problem. It's a priorities problem.

“You may be grieving at first, but, believe me, you’ll be smiling when you see how much less you’re shelling out every month,” said President Donald Trump

Only pricks, creeps, and pests would wear the meta ray-ban glasses. Yet another destructive technology that meta refuses to take responsibility for that aids the cruel and corrupt disproportionately. Time to get personal jammers.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest. Don Lemon today: "I will not stop now, I will not stop ever."

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.

I can't help but wonder...what's gone wrong. www.smule.com/sing-recordi...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

In a Wednesday night address, Gov. Tim Walz spoke directly to Minnesotans. “Trump wants this chaos,” Walz said. “He wants confusion. And yes, he wants more violence on our streets. We cannot give him what he wants. We can’t. We must protest loudly, urgently, but also peacefully.”

Trump's White House released a maliciously false account blaming Capitol Police for the violence on January 6th. While Trump pardons insurrectionists and lets those who attack our officers walk free, we stand with our first responders. We'll make sure their sacrifices that day are not forgotten.

Board of directors vote to dissolve organization after nearly 60 years in operation after funding cuts under Trump

Republicans voted for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1%, but they couldn't vote to protect 20 million Americans from seeing a doubling — on average — of their health care premiums. Pathetic.

🤮

A broad ban on hemp products in Chicago advanced in the City Council Wednesday, teeing up a vote that could suddenly shutter the burgeoning industry.

DOJ's claim that re-assigning thousands of agents to immigration has had no impact on its other work is demonstrably untrue. Court dockets show the number of people charged with drug crimes this year is the lowest in at least three decades. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Pardons for sale, get your fresh hot pardons for sale... Yes, you have to pay the convicted fraudsters to get your presidential pardon, but that's how the United States of America sells 'em now: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Trump’s sham Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced a mass pardon of at least 77 people involved in efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results. This is another unprecedented and extremely dangerous use of the pardon power. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/cHkqw...

That’s why we’ll be working to unseat both Republicans as well as corporate Democrats who have kowtowed to the Trump agenda and replace them with Working Families Party champions who will fight to lower the cost of living and guarantee health care for every family.

New York City is not for sale. Our new ad begins airing tomorrow.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx. The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake. And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Hehehe

My opponents are *still* competing for love from Trump and the billionaires. And I’m going to let them fight it out at whatever unofficial debates pop up this month. We’re bringing this campaign to you.

There’s room for joy in our politics @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

"Mamdani’s proposals would make the city more livable for working people while improving public goods — from transit to child care — that benefit everyone, including those footing a slightly higher tax bill."

Just in case anyone out there is still following me and wants to fight tooth decay. gofund.me/a3e4c727

"Noem has also been particular about the service on the Coast Guard planes. In one incident, she and her staff grew irritated when a weighted blanket she often uses on trips was not provided to her, an issue that was “escalated” within the service..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
