The Trump administration is still choosing to withhold lifesaving food assistance from millions of Americans.
We're asking a court to require the USDA to release complete SNAP benefits for November.
I'll keep fighting this shameful inaction until every New Yorker is fed.

This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.
In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

Donald Trump must follow the law and give people their full SNAP payments.
Trump is using hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political tool. It’s fundamentally wrong.

In the first year of Trump’s term, electricity prices increased by 11%.
Congressional Republicans have no answers for families hit hard by high utility costs. Instead, they continue to pursue policies to make this affordability crisis worse.

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We're 10 months into Trump's presidency, and prices are up across the board thanks to his chaotic tariffs.
Coffee prices are up 21%.
Ground beef prices are up 13%.
Whatever happened to Trump’s promise of lowering costs “on day one”?

A tyrant doesn’t negotiate when compassion is the price.
He starves the people, then blames their hunger on the ones offering bread.
Let the record show, when given the choice between power and compassion, the GOP chose the lock over the key.

Art is emotion through expression. AI does not think and it cannot feel. It is a program designed to scrounge the internet to pass things off as its own. All the while stealing jobs from real artists and soaking up drinking water.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

A GOP budget that spikes health premiums to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday families.
That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today.

6. Notably, the House versions of the VA/MilCon, Legislative Branch, and Agriculture funding bills did contain anti-LGBTQ+ riders before the shutdown. If the House accepts the Senate’s compromise, it would mark some of the first major defeats for those provisions in the FY26 budget fight.
