Goldfinger's "20 Cent Goodbye" suffers from the same longevity flaw in that people don't know what payphones are, and they also don't make phone calls.

"Unlimited Data Plan Goodbye" could go hard tho

One of the key functions of these kinds of statements by the Republicans is to help give Dems a reputation for fighting back when in reality a Dem majority would do what they always do and compromise to the right as often and hard as they can

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

The Advantage program was a lifeline for New Yorkers like Kasha, a working mom struggling to get out of a shelter and into stable housing.

But when then-Gov. Cuomo slashed funding, homelessness surged.

These are political choices. We can choose differently.

In the country's richest city, more than 140,000 kids don't have stable or permanent housing.

"Every Child and Family Is Known" — a small pilot program that pairs school staff with students and families in shelters — has shown real promise. I will double its funding and scope.
