Or hear me out as a former Cuomo person: maybe we shouldn’t go from a scandal-scarred mayor who may have to resign in disgrace to a scandal-scarred governor who did have to resign in disgrace.
What in NY’s DNA tells us we need to just settle for extremely flawed options?
Fellow white women: I've spent the last decade organizing you and I know firsthand the impact you can have when you use your economic and political power for good. This MUST be the election when a majority of us help elect the first woman, a Black woman, President. That means...
🧵: Something a lot of folks don’t know about @JoeBiden is that he read mail from everyday Americans throughout every week of his presidency. I was responsible for sourcing a lot of those letters and settling up amplification streams with my phenomenal team in OPC (@DearPOTUS46).
NEW: 26 NYC Council Members sent a letter led by @galeabrewer to NYS legislative leadership & @GovKathyHochul calling for an increase in the SNAP minimum benefit.
With food insecurity on the rise in NYC and across NYS, we must take action & increase it from $23 to $100.
TY CMs!
The Senate's One House Budget includes my minimum monthly SNAP bill with @votejgr, but it offers only $50, which is half of what my bill proposes. We must provide $100 to truly help struggling families. I'll be fighting until we pass this budget to get it done.
@RepMGS speaking truth! The policies forced through in the debt ceiling agreement would never pass an actual vote in Congress. Stop pretending any of these cuts are what people want! https://t.co/V7RZ6UBXTd

Long considered a major taboo, cities are starting to address the problem of period poverty and provide free sanitary pads and tampons on public spaces and schools.

Thank you for being a champion for people experiencing food insecurity, Representative Meng! We can't balance the budget on the backs of the people in need. NYC is lucky to have you fighting for us in DC.
Democrats have worked tirelessly to put an end to food insecurity and ensure families who are struggling get the support they need. House Republicans want to take us backward but we won't stop fighting to deliver for families.
