Energy Costs are Rising. Trump and Big Tech Are to Blame
On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump promised to cut energy costs in half. Now, energy costs are skyrocketing.
Energy bills are rising nationwide, and Trump and the GOP are to blame. They rolled back clean energy incentives and greenlit an AI surge, pushing costs onto working families and deepening economic & environmental inequality. I break it down in TIME today: time.com/7312151/ener...

Iβm the daughter of immigrants and a cultural leader whoβs seen our neighborhoods change too fast for working families to keep up. Iβm running to end corruption, protect what makes this city home, and fight like hell to lower costs.

In a dramatic incident captured on video, U.S. Department of Homeland Security police Wednesday handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler aides in the congressmember's Manhattan office, which is in the same federal office building as an immigration courthouse.
In the video, which was shared with Gothamist and filmed by a person who was monitoring activity in immigration court, DHS officers entered Nadlerβs district office and accused staff members of βharboring rioters.β A Nadler staffer is seen crying and being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a warrant.
DHS later said in a statement that βone individualβ β the woman seen being handcuffed β had blocked police from performing a security check they intended to do based on information there were protesters in the lawmakerβs office. Later that day, protesters gathered outside of the federal building, demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

As someone raised by a public health worker and shaped by the failures of our healthcare system, this endorsement hits home. Iβm deeply proud to be endorsed by the Committee of Interns and Residentsβbecause those who care for our communities deserve care and respect too.

Mount Sinai has promised us an urgent care center at NYEEI across the street, and we have continued to demand that an emergency room is the only acceptable alternative to save lives in our community. We will continue to make that demand.
