New York is among the three states with the highest childcare costs — and it's driving working families out of our city.

Providing it as a universal right is good for our neighborhoods, our economy, and our future.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.

And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.
This man is sick. He does not represent Americans. What president would do that. He works for us. He work for the American people not the other way around.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

We love America. We just hate kings.

We have a supreme Constitution, not a supreme leader. Donald Trump, we have no kings here. We are not your subjects. We are free citizens. We will never be your subjects.

Are we going to stand with the richest Americans or working people? That's the fundamental question in this fight.

I’m sticking with hardworking Americans.

The Democratic Party is courageously & unapologetically standing up to protect the health care of the American people.

I’m not backing down.

The American people are smart. They know when they’re being lied to.

Republicans canceled votes, shut down the House, locked the doors, and are refusing to negotiate.

We’re ready to work. Let’s do this, GOP—reopen the House!

After some of the biggest health care cuts in American history, Trump and his Republicans are now promoting one of the biggest health care cost increases in American history.

They can lie to our faces all they want, but that’s what the GOP's government shutdown is all about.
Reposted by Melissa B.
We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.

If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.
