The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

This was powerful
Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

Cuomo helped form the IDC, a group of rogue Democratic state senators who sided with Republicans year after year to keep loopholes in NY’s rent stabilization laws.

The result: tens of thousands of rent stabilized units were eliminated.

Another Cuomo noninterference story falls apart
Andrew Cuomo has always been careful to maintain a plausible-looking deniability when it comes to his role in keeping his own party out of power in the State Senate.

Really interesting how Lander is using his buddy flick/deep well of knowledge to…not just the outcome in November but educating people about policies and history of policies
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

Attorney General James took on Trump's fraud and the NRA's rampant corruption—and won both cases.

So it's little wonder that Trump's politicized DOJ is now coming after her.

It’s so infrequent that the New York Times uses “Trump” and “Authoritarian” in the same headline that it’s worth noting when they do. Now they need to say clearly and loudly that he’s in the process of building a dictatorship. Because he is.

It is seriously dangerous territory when Trump fires anyone who doesn't cook the books for him.

The entire economy hinges on the accurate, nonpartisan data we get from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Republicans need to join us in fighting to protect the integrity of BLS.

Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

The Trump administration is escalating arrests at immigration court with no regard for the legal status of those they are detaining.
 
These courthouses have ceased to be a place where the rule of law is applied.

These buildings are now abduction traps.
