Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Q: Will you consider removing new restriction on Pentagon press?

TRUMP: I think he finds the press to be very disruptive in terms of world peace and maybe security for our nation. The press is very dishonest

Congress is losing its grip on the power to spend Americans’ money

Congress is supposed to control spending, but increasingly, the White House is dictating how America’s money is used.

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.
