So here's where we are, Sunday morning:
Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

@governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov approved a gas pipeline that was rejected 3X for environmental concerns. The pipeline will harm NY waters and marine life, cost over $2 billion, and add $100/yr to gas bills for LI & NYC residents. Increased GHG emissions come with hidden health and economic costs.

Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall.

Last month a federal court lifted the administration’s stop work order on Revolution Wind, an offshore wind farm that will begin delivering power to Connecticut next year. We must keep up momentum on this renewable energy source that will offer clean, reliable, and affordable power to our region.

Big oil and gas have seized the moment. By betting big on plastics, they’ve found a convenient lifeline to maintain profit margins as demand for fossil fuels declines. But plastic pollution costs Americans an estimated $249 billion annually in health-related expenses

So NO to the fracked gas pipeline!
Today hundreds of us marched over the Brooklyn Bridge with dozens of orgs, officials, &families, to tell Governor Hochul to stop the unneeded, dirty, and expensive NESE pipeline. It endangers our communities, waters and marine life off NYC, Far Rockaway, and Long Island. #stopthewilliamsnesepipeline
