Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.
If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.
It's just a question of political will.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free
The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.
As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
