NOW: We are blocking the doors to @govkathyhochul.bsky.social’s office and demanding we STOP the destruction of CDPAP.

Governor Hochul have a heart, you are tearing us apart!

“We need a delay in the implementation of this program.

People are going to be harmed and people in my district are going to be pushed into nursing homes because their caregivers are not getting the wages and benefits guaranteed.” —Sen. Shelley Mayer

BREAKING: We’re in Albany to send a message to @govkathyhochul.bsky.social: hundreds of thousands of consumers could lose their home care if we don’t stop the CDPAP transition NOW.

"Elon Musk is stealing from the entire American public, stealing our data. Stealing the services that we all rely on. They're going to use everything they supposedly save to justify massive tax cuts for themselves." - @fedworkersunited.bsky.social #SaveOurServices

Federal workers (@fedworkersunited.bsky.social) at CFPB sent "You're Fired" email by Musk's DOGE addressed to "First Name, Last Name." "Some of his companies are regulated by CFPB...he did that to enrich himself. This is a heist by an unelected billionaire." #SaveOurServices

Rivera: "April 1 does NOT work. It's incredibly important that this works. If you are so insistent on a single FI, PLEASE reconsider April 1"

We support Rivera's bill (S.1189/A.2735) to STOP the handover to PPL first & foremost. Extending this deadline is also crucial to ensure many don't lose care

Sen Gustavo Rivera questions the Comm'r—

How many consumers? 280k.

How many completed registration? 22k.

How many days b/w now & March 28? 49.

How many days/week is PPL open? 24/7, 7 days/week 🤥🤥🤥🤥

This timeline isn't going to work!!!

The Reality of PPL’s Home Care Transition: A Call That Says It All This is what happened when one consumer called PPL’s transition hotline. The call lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes. It did not go well.  This is PPL’s…

@caringmrising.bsky.social The Health Commissioner just said the average phone call to PPL is 18 minutes. That's not real consumers' experience. Feel free to share this new video through networks.

Governor Hochul has put a plan in place that will likely cause tens of thousands of older and disabled NYers to lose their home care services, and home care workers to lose their jobs. All because of a TikTok video and totally out of context data. It’s not too late to stop the PPL debacle.

Stuff the public needs to hear and understand: Knee replacement surgery has a much higher regret rate than gender-affirming surgery, too.

The media could help explain this instead of just both sidesing the issue or worse all the time.

We guard against unnecessary care.

Chase Strangio, first trans attorney to argue at SCOTUS, walks out to cheers.

I started to do a column critiquing Trump’s proposed tariffs from an economic policy perspective. But I ran out of time so I’m doing a hot take about how woke activists lost the election instead

The worst person you know just made a great point

Every time Ritchie Torres says something about Kathy Hochul or Kathy Hochul says something about Ritchie Torres

New York accused of rigging CDPAP contract in lawsuit The lawsuit was filed by Freedom Care LLC, a home care company, against the state Department of Health and Public Partnerships.

The main reason to oppose this disastrous restructuring of CDPAP is thousands of older & disabled NYers losing life saving home care, and home care workers losing their pay. But also true that this was a corrupt deal from the start between Governor Hochul and PPL. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

We just helped 3 Congressional candidates get elected in NY battleground districts by talking with thousands of voters who know that getting homecare for a loved one shouldn’t bankrupt a family.

We're going to keep organizing to make sure every official understands it. Join us. #CareCantWait
