Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

I grew up in Philly. On my street were electricians, HVAC technicians, nurses, teachers, and business executives. We shared a lot in common & one huge thing: rooting for the Eagles. Good luck to my Philly friends and family this weekend.

52% of Americans ranked better healthcare as a top priority. It’s our job to deliver.

We need to pass Medicare for All and take Big Insurance’s prior authorization and complicated rules out of healthcare.

Without the Department of Education, class sizes will swell, students with disabilities could lose access to special education, and working class kids will lose access to grants and loans. The attack on public education is unacceptable and won't stand.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

Righteous anger can be a great motivator. Hate is not. Hate makes you useless. It makes you stupid. It makes you obsessive. It makes you lose sight of what is important. Hate makes you lash out in all directions. It is unfocused. It is impatient and makes up lies when it is not satiated.

Cuomo made lethal mistakes in his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that he's never apologized for. But he did get to keep that $5 million advance for a memoir no one read.

I stand with the families of nursing home victims demanding accountability.

The next Mayor needs to prioritize safe commutes and crack down on lawless driving.
So tragic and awful.

Pedestrian deaths surged 18% last year. Among them were 46 seniors hit and killed while walking. And we’re off to a bad start in 2025.

The Mayor has the tools to make our streets safer but he’s refused to use them.
