200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables.
Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine.
Is this why?

There is a thing going around that we shouldn’t talk about climate anymore bc Zohran won on an affordability agenda and I just really disagree with that assessment of his campaign and the *scientific* reality we live in

I’m not surprised, Chuck Schumer should have been primaried in 2022 and is worse than having no one in leadership at all
Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.
They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.
Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
