SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.

But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

NYPD's annual budget is $5 billion. I'd immediately slash $250 million to fund mandatory after school programs for children.

Pkus, 1-2% tax increase on millionaires to fund jobs training and apprenticeship program for 16-27 year Olds.

The world has focused on Zohran Mamdani, for VERY good reason. 🙌🏼
But don’t forget- he’s not the only one.👊🏼
Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is on 🔥….
Much like Mamdani, he is focused on the right thing- affordability.
And fighting ICE.
We love him 💙 &

The rich & powerful showing how money corrupts. Whining on national tv because they can't get access to Mamdani.

When Obama and Clinton tells you they can take money from lobbyist and PACs without being influenced, I hope you laughed.

The wealthy has most politicians in their pockets.
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Have to try this recipe. My auntie (Jamaican, immigrated to U.K. then U.S.) used to make spaghetti Bolognese. Not this extensive recipe however, but I loved it. youtu.be/zcEcoTo1igI?...

Without people of color, Spanberger, Shirrill, Mamdani and others wouldn't win with their huge margins.

Just look at the cross tabs.

It was "the woke" who got it done.

Majority of white voters didnt go for them.

Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Mayor-elect Mamdani to the entire Democratic establishment...

"This will be an age where New Yorkers expect from their leaders a BOLD vision of what we will achieve. Rather than a list of excuses for what we're too timid to attempt."

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.
