#RobertRedford. I loved him, and admired him—for his friendship, his fiery independence, and the way he used any platform he had to help make the world better, fairer, brighter for others. - Bob Woodward

For decades, Robert Redford lent his voice to protecting wild places and clean air and water and fighting against climate change. He brought environmental issues into the cultural spotlight and inspired generations to act. Thank you, Bob. 💚

One of Robert Redford’s most indelible on-screen roles was Bob Woodward in the 1976 film “All the President’s Men.” After Redford's death on Tuesday, Woodward remembered him as a “genuine, a noble and principled force for good who fought successfully to find and communicate the truth.”

The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

That means some of the most vulnerable Americans – families, the elderly, folks with disabilities – won’t be able to get the lifesaving treatment, medication, or care they need. These are people you know. Reach out to your senators now to let them know how much this will impact you.

Donald Trump's DOJ is clearly trying to interfere in New York City's Mayoral election. Trump dropped charges against Mayor Adams and is now bringing charges against his opponent. I do not support Andrew Cuomo for Mayor, but prosecutions must be driven by facts, not weaponized to settle vendettas.
