Today-Trump and Musk endorsed Cuomo-Cuomo is the candidate of the billionaires. Mamdani is fighting for affordability for all of us-particularly working families.

Disgusting!!

Remember when we MAGA was losing their minds over the price of eggs before the election? Fast forward…grocery prices have skyrocketed, including eggs, and the government is about to willfully let 42M people go hungry. When does the winning start?

These Students Are Scared. Friends and Teachers Are Their Protectors.

We are so proud of our members and communities who are protecting kids from this administration's inhumanity. Thank you!

Make no mistake: this country’s health care crisis will only worsen if Congress doesn’t extend the ACA tax credits.

22 MILLION will face extreme insurance hikes.

Everyone will pay more.

Just makes no sense!

AI shouldn't decide who gets healthcare. Allowing AI programs to deny people the care that they need is wrong, and it’s an insult to retired and disabled Americans who deserve the best of care from doctors and nurses. We will not allow this ...

What are Republicans thinking? Helping children is not a partisan issue.
