Join us today to save SNAP, say NO to rushed, harmful, punitive work requirements, and call on President Trump to release the money for November SNAP benefits NOW!

Allowing people to go hungry for political gain is abhorrent. Hungry people should never be used as pawns.

Did New York Undercount Covid-19 Nursing Home Deaths? Then-Governor Andrew Cuomo repeatedly cited federal data placing New York state 38th or 39th nationally.

New York state significantly undercounted Covid-19 nursing home deaths in 2020 by excluding residents who died in hospitals.

Earlier this morning, Axios reported that Gov. Hochul plans to axe New Yorkers’ healthcare as a result of July’s Federal Budget Scam. Below is a response from Erica Vladimer, Communications Coordinator for the Invest In Our New York Campaign: 

β€œNew York’s Congressional Republican delegation happily voted to make New Yorkers sicker by cutting billions from our healthcare, forcing state leaders to step in and deal with the aftermath. Unfortunately, Governor Hochul’s claim to stand up for New York’s families falls short as she chooses to axe their healthcare. Instead, Governor Hochul can raise the necessary public dollars to protect healthcare access by raising taxes on New York’s millionaires and billionaires. Anything less is just going along with Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.”

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

Maine has the oldest population of any state and a high rate of disability. Question 1, on the November ballot, figures to make voting (especially by mail) much harder for many, and particularly for older folks and people with disabilities.

NEW YORK, NY – Today, the New York Times reported that Andrew Cuomo is coordinating with President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming New York City mayoral election to help billionaires buy this race and steal it from the very New Yorkers on the frontlines against Trump's authoritarianism. Andrew Cuomo tried to hide this from the public because he knew how damaging it would be. In response, Zohran Mamdani released the following statement:



β€œAndrew Cuomo has spent his career governing for the powerful and prioritizing his own self-interests over those of the people he was sworn to serve. This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician, it is disqualifying. It is a betrayal.



Donald Trump is sending masked agents to rip our neighbors off the street, gutting the social services so many New Yorkers rely on, and threatening to deport me for having the audacity to stand up to him and his billionaire friends. The job of New York City Mayor is not to be jester for a wannabe king, it is to protect the people of this city.”

The president has been briefed by Mark Penn, a pollster who has worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Stein, a former New York City Council president and decades-long friend of Mr. Trump, on a range of polling that showed Mr. Cuomo could still be competitive as an independent candidate. Both men have pushed Mr. Cuomo as the best candidate despite his loss in the Democratic primary, including in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. One of Mr. Penn’s firms did extensive work for a pro-Cuomo super PAC in the primary.

And in a previously undisclosed call in recent weeks, Mr. Trump spoke about the race directly with Mr. Cuomo, an old associate and foil, according to three people briefed on the call, who were not authorized to discuss it.
