For 40 days, Long Island families went without paychecks or food assistance while DC played politics. Now Rep LaLota takes a victory lap for ending a crisis his party helped cause. Families deserve leaders who prevent shutdowns NOT celebrate cleaning up their own mess.

In 1994, we had a federal Assault Weapons Ban. Mass shootings went down. When Congress let it expire, gun violence surged. We can protect lives without sacrificing rights, it’s time to reinstate the ban and put people over profits. #GunSafety #AssaultWeaponsBan #PeopleOverProfits

As a father of a trans daughter, Ava Hudson’s story breaks me. She sought stability, found misgendering & isolation, & was gone at 27. Federal cuts to suicide hotlines will only cost more lives. We must protect the vulnerable, not abandon them.

A young transgender bus driver thought her CTA job was the answer
But Ava Hudson, 27, ended her life a year ago at a Blue Line L station in her CTA uniform.
