Open enrollment must be extended to give people the time and flexibility they need to choose their coverage.
I’ve called on the Trump administration to take this simple step, but if they won’t act, Congress must.

Fucked up
Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

So important. The law must always apply to everyone
Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Head Start is more than school. For kids, it’s 2 meals a day and care they need. For parents, it's the ability to work and provide for their family.
We advanced state funding to keep centers open, but no state can do this alone. Our families can't afford the GOP's government shutdown.

More on why you should cancel your Spotify subscription:
Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.
He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.
If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.
