Attention New Yorkers: Governor Kathy Hochul has issued inflation relief checks for anyone in the state that filed a New York State IT 201 form. The checks will be anywhere from $150-$400 depending on your income. Itโs not a lot in this economy, but itโs something and I wanted to make you aware ๐๐๐๐

Q: Why wonโt Senate republicans bypass the 60 vote threshold and keep the government open?
They did it a couple of weeks ago to approve Trump nominees in bulk.
A: They WANT the shutdown.
To accelerate more privatization of government services. To enrich their donors.
Itโs ๐ฏ a Trump shutdown.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy.
Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.
Why are Republicans secretly glad that because of the shutdown no jobs report will be released on Friday, even if they won't admit it? This is why ๐

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
trying to get ahead of the curve: the argument that we need a CR so that appropriations negotiation can happen would be a lot more compelling if Republicans had been negotiating on appropriations before the deadline

Graph showing silver plan insurance costs per month both with the enhanced subsidies and without them. Shows for four household types. Without subsidy costs are substantially higher for everyone.
If GOP fails to extend IRA premium subsidies, cheapest health insurance for Alaskans will skyrocket.
Single mom earning $40K/yr will pay $1800/yr, 7x more than in 2025.

A central reason we're in this mess is that the final GOP budget is going to be full of ugly, deeply unpopular stuff - exploding deficits, destructive tariffs, cuts to health care/clear energy/food, supersizing ICE, tax cuts for billionaires - that Rs simply don't want to take responsibility for. 1/
