Oh, he’s cutting snap benefits? I guess I’ll be taking all that $ I was going to spend on gifts and donate it to my local food bank. We don’t need more stuff but kids do need to eat.

I told my friends & fam today and EVERYONE was on board!

Thanks to the electoral college, that kind of flight would only deepen inequities.

Republicans haven’t forgiven Trump- they’re embracing him in all his racist, sexist, greedy glory. Dems actually want people who learn from their mistakes.

Mamdani: "There are 12 days remaining until Election Day. I will be a Muslim man in NYC each of those 12 days and every day that follows after that. I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I am proud to call my own."

The bunker is already under the East Wing. Some people are saying he’s using the ballroom as cover to expand it.

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown.

The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

If you want a Mayor who tells you everything that he can't do, Andrew Cuomo should be your choice.

But if you want a Mayor who will use every tool at their disposal to lower the cost of living, I am the candidate for you.

Add Cincinnati to the rapidly expanding list of cities where homeless students sleep in parking lots because their families can't afford a place to live.

By Grace Tucker and Elizabeth B. Kim
Cincinnati Enquirer

"There are now so many families living out of their cars in Cincinnati that the city's school district is opening a parking lot for them to have a safe place to stay overnight."

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.

It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.

I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.

The homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is a moral stain on our city, the wealthiest in the world.

When I’m Mayor, we will not ignore it any longer.

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

New Yorkers are ready for change.
