Millions of New Yorkers rely on ACA tax credits to afford health care. Donald Trump calls them a “waste.”

That says it all.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act has passed the Senate with unanimous consent—but the job is not done.

This bill is a command for the president to be fully transparent and provide full honesty to the American people.

Anything less than full transparency will be unacceptable.

It's simple: elected officials should be focused on your family's financial security, not their own stock portfolios. This is about common sense, ensuring fairness, and putting public service ahead of personal profit.

Donald Trump is deeply unpopular.

And the Republican economy is a complete disaster.

You deserve better.

I joined the Tompkins County Public Library in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of its move to East Green Street. I was proud to present an official New York State Senate Proclamation recognizing this milestone and the Library’s enduring commitment to education.

Patriotic Americans could elect a supermarority in Congress if we're willing to do the necessary work of communicating with our neighbors about what's at stake in the 2026. Please visit the Tompkins County Democratic Committee website and sign up to volunteer!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

House Democrats are working hard to lower the high cost of living.

Republican extremists don’t give a damn about the affordability crisis.

You deserve better.

The fight to protect hungry Americans from the Trump administration's cruelty is far from over.

If you lose your SNAP benefits because of President Trump's Big Beautiful Betrayal, please share your story.

Nearly 104,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2024 because they arrived too late. A new USPS policy initiated under Trump’s first Postmaster General could lead to millions more being rejected in 2026 — and it’s Trump’s rural voters who’ll be impacted. https://bit.ly/42X5dPD

Under this regime, there is plenty of money for tax breaks for billionaires who don't need them and exorbitant CEO pay packages, but there is nothing for hungry children on SNAP or families needing help affording their health care premiums 👇

Are you radicalized yet?

You don’t have to have a rally with 10,000 people to make a statement. Sometimes it’s the persistent, smaller drumbeat protests in our communities that give others permission and motivation to get loud (and join in).

Amidst the conversations about betrayal, let's suspend judgment until we see all the facts and what the next few weeks bring, and consider the points raised below.
I'm not sure if they got enough but it's something.

This is deeply cruel from the federal government.

Even as we win in court, New Yorkers have been suffering for days as Trump and his allies play politics with hunger.

We are drafting a legal response as we speak — because this abhorrent behavior cannot stand.
