Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking us into a government shutdown because they refuse to negotiate and lower healthcare costs for our families.
Join our mass call this Wednesday to discuss how we can organize collectively to support and protect our communities: MoveOn.org/Shutdown
Trump and the Republicans are choosing to shut down the government and withhold paychecks from federal workers, all so they can take away money for health care and give it to billionaires.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age."
She was 78.

Rest in power Assata Shakur. You saved me. You are my hero.

A screeenshot of a twitter post from Politico reporter Jeff Coltin. There's a photo of Zohran Mamdani and NY Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie standing at a podium outside with news station microphones on the podium and a Zohran for New York City sign on the podium too. The tweet says: Would you help Mamdani raise taxes on millionaires, pass free child care and free buses, Heastie is asked? “All of the above,” Heastie said. “Millionaire taxes poll extremely well,” he adds. “With the Big Disgusting Bill, the rich are getting richer with that bill.”
@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social knows what's up.
The Federal Budget Scam serves the rich, and the rich alone.
New Yorkers are more than ready to #TaxTheRich.
It's time for them to pay their fair share.

The Federal Budget Scam will make life harder for all of us:
🏥Hospitals will close;
📈Health insurance & bills will skyrocket;
🤲Public benefits will be inaccessible to those who need them.
📣Join us TOMORROW @ 11AM in Foley Square to tell lawmakers to protect NYers! #SpecialSessionNow #NY4All
“It feels like they’re just grabbing people, snatching people, even those that can’t be removed. They’re trying to funnel them into this system,” said Paige Austin from our legal team.

Elon Musk Says He Will Start a New Political Party The tech billionaire, who has publicly feuded with President Trump, wrote on social media that he would be creating “the America Party,” though he hadn’t yet filed paperwork.
There are already two parties for billionaires. We don’t need a third.
If you want a party for working people, join the Working Families Party: wfpus.org/JoinUs

This is straight from the authoritarian playbook.
Trump and his people want to silence anyone who seeks to hold them accountable.
Musk, Trump & their billionaire buddies want to erase labor rights, public services, and our most fundamental freedoms.
We say no. We are the many. They are the few. Somos Más. Join us in the streets. #MayDayStrong #MayDay2025

Andrew Cuomo will be in the same compromised position as Eric Adams- unable to fight Trump because he's too busy trying to keep himself out of jail.
NYC needs a Mayor with a clean slate.

The state budget is still delayed and we need our leaders to keep fighting for us. We need an updated Foundation Aid formula for our schools and at least $1B for child care. Governor+legislators: Don’t tap out now. This work isn’t over, and we’re counting on you.
