Mamdani pledged universal child care for NYC. What will it take to get there? Mamdani will face an array of logistical and operational challenges in standing up new public infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of youngsters.

"And while there’s no way around the high costs, proponents point out that child care also brings substantial economic benefits by freeing up more parents to work."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today is Veteran’s Day. We honor those that have served our country. 🇺🇸

Did you know: Veteran’s Day is on November 11th because it marks the armistice signed between the Allies of WW1 & Germany, which took effect at 11:00 am: the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918

Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani is STILL out chatting it up with the people. He was trying to do content but the voters kept popping up.🥹

It hit me last night that I am bored when watching scenes on The Braxtons without Tamar amd Traci 🕊. I fell asleep before the end of last night's episode. If they cant get along with Tamar then just cancel the show and go heal. #TheBraxtons #BlackSky

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Zohran just passed 1 million votes

Has Cuomo conceded to Zohra Mamdani yet? Dont prolong this Andrew. 😏

It's a Blue Wave tonight. We did good NYC. Zohran Mamdani: Can't wait for you to move into Gracie Mansion. Well done. #NYCVotes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia governor’s race.

While we wait for results, here is Max resting from the exertion of being so adorable.

This is the coalition building and diversity that they are afraid of. And to think Cuomo calls diversity a weakness. 😏
Vote for Zohran Mamdani!

NYC I Voted Sticker on a red background.

No politician is perfect but I'm hopeful for what Zohran wants to do for NYC. Trust and believe we will hold him accountable. NYC is a tough city to lead but I am ready to move forward.

Let's Go Zohran Mamdani!

NYC parents beware: November’s school calendar is a child care nightmare Between Election Day, Veterans Day, and parent teacher conferences, NYC students have barely any full weeks of school in November. Some parents want more say in the calendar.

"New York City parents, brace yourself: There are no full five-day school weeks for many students during November." Sigh...

Let's Go Zohran Mamdani!! You got my vote. I didnt get to vote early but I will be at the polls on Tuesday. NYC is ready for a change. 🙌🏾

Food Banks in U.S. Brace for Surging Demand as SNAP Aid Cutoff Looms Growing need and decreased resources are squeezing the charitable food system beyond its capacity, leaders say.

Food banks across the U.S. were stretched thin even before the federal government shut down. Rising food prices had driven a growing number of people to their doors. Cuts to federal programs had left them with less to give. Now, that system is anticipating an even greater surge in demand.

Still watching the NYC mayoral debate. I would be passed out if I took a shot everytime Curtis Sliwa tells us he is the subway system everyday. Give it a rest sir. 🙄

Watching the NYC mayoral debate. Andrew Cuomo can't help but be condescending toward Zohran Mamdani.
What a turnoff!

NYC school bus companies threaten shutdown over contract dispute. What you need to know. New York City's largest school bus companies have threatened to halt service and lay off employees Nov. 1 without a contract extension. City officials blasted the move as "an act of bad faith."

"The city’s largest school bus companies notified the state Department of Labor that they are preparing to shut down operations and lay off employees on Nov. 1 if they don’t receive a contract extension, the New York Post first reported Monday." #NYC
