Our statement on the ongoing state budget turmoil in Albany:

Yeah he’s a billionaire but hey, Griffin is so so very taxable—income, corporate, wealth, unrealized gains, realized gains, federal/state/local let’s gooooo

[DOCS @solidaritydept]

🧵 If Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire tax passes, people like hedge funder Ken Griffin, who fueled the crusade to close 50 Chicago public schools, may tighten their belts.

So if you're looking for a gift to cheer him up, check out what the man defunding our schools already owns:

[DOCS @solidaritydept]

On this day, we remember that labor should be entitled to all it creates. But in reality, billionaires pocket the fruits of our labor for themselves. This makes us poorer individually and collectively, as essential needs go unfunded so that the rich can enjoy our riches.

Sorry Evil Andrew, the biggest labor unions in New York aren’t endorsing @ZohranKMamdani because they’re “reactionary” — it’s because they recognize their members deserve the affordability and material gains he will deliver and the people-powered democracy he represents

Worth noting that @SenSchumer got the Senate Dems in formation to go all out on this vote and even broke some records to make sure GOP Senators had to walk to plank to vote on this disastrous bill. Its good to see and its the type of fight we need at every turn. Keep it up!

It’s time for Governor Hochul to pause the private equity takeover of CDPAP and find a better way forward.

No. Next question.

Outside of Eric Adams, no single elected official has done more damage to NYC than New York’s #1 Nepo Baby, Andrew Cuomo. Here’s the proof 🧵

“When working people have more money in their pocket, the overall economy thrives,” Mamdani said in an interview. “Right now if you are earning a minimum wage in the city, you simply cannot afford to continue calling it your home. We have to change that.” https://t.co/pvc71NQu6o

Tax the billionaires.

[Bernadette Hogan @bern_hogan]

.@AndreaSCousins says raising taxes “will have to be” a part of the negotiations this year when it comes to filling a multi billion dollar hole in MTA capital plan

[Groundwork Collaborative @Groundwork]

Elon Musk has us barreling toward a government shutdown.

Next, he's going to try to use DOGE to cut crucial programs that people rely on in order to fund tax giveaways for himself and his billionaire friends. 💰

JGR knows what’s up - timely and important message

[Jessica González-Rojas (votejgr.bsky.social) @votejgr]

NEW: After the election, many have asked “where do we go from here?” I have some thoughts and its not “be more moderate”

Read my op-ed in @EMPIREREPORTNY where I call for us in the legislature to act with a bold and progressive vision.https://t.co/1m3tL3WV0E

Public child care for all makes sense https://t.co/zhvvnZLafE

[Dan Ancona @DanAncona]

I’ve been disappointed and baffled by Dems being terrified to talk about climate since Gore’s campaign. This ad tested great, across all kinds of groups. Even moves white working class voters. Hopefully this will be the beginning of changing this.

[Strong For All @strongforall]

CTC is one of the most popular policies ever. We can’t imagine why someone woukd stand in the way.

Gotta get it renewed. Families 👏 need👏 that 👏money!

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

In 2021—Dems delivered a major expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) that cut child poverty in half.

We tried to renew it, but the GOP put their billionaire donors' interests over people.

I talked with NY families on what the CTC meant for them and why we fight to renew it.

[Way To Win @WayToWinAF]

... the reason a lot of neighborhoods and a lot of families are still struggling is due to decades of right wing ideas that benefit only the rich. The affordability crisis IS the inequality crisis, and there's a lot more to do to turn it around.

[Way To Win @WayToWinAF]

The problem at the root of our problems is that the rich have taken $50 trillion from the other 90% of us over the past five decades. Biden started fixing this. The macro indicators have improved. Our economy has had the strongest recovery from COVID in the world. But:

[Climate Defenders @ClimateDEF]

BREAKING: HUGE WIN in NYC. @NYCComptroller @BradLander will introduce the USA's first divestment policy, stopping new pension fund investments in private equity that finances oil, gas pipelines, and LNG terminals. A win for both our planet and pensions! 🌎💪

[Michael Kink @mkink]

Firms like @KKR_Co @OneCarlyle @apolloglobal currently own billions in horribly destructive carbon bomb infrastructure like the KKR-built CoastalGaslink pipeline and KKR’s massive Port Arthur LNG terminal https://t.co/LS0H709t2X
