The DOGE cuts to USAID are coming up for a vote in Congress.
For every dollar we cut on foreign aid, our military spends two dollars on ammo.
These cuts are counterproductive and will harm our national security. I will not stand by while this administration puts us all at risk.

Mancilla: We were the first union to officially endorse and rank Zohran Mamdani… And for us, it was simple. We didn’t want a politics of the present, which was corruption and selling off the city to the Trump administration, nor did we want the return of a disgraced governor now as mayor.
