N.Y. assemblyman's bill would reform appointments to Public Service Commission The Public Service Commission has been scrutinized lately over approving National Grid rate hikes last summer.

Not the most popular (cuz its bureaucratic) but good movehttps://nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-politics/new-york/politics/2026/02/05/n-y--bill-would-reform-public-service-commission-appointments?cid=share_clip

Amazing. If a professional wrestling crowd is chanting "fuck ICE," it suggests to me that large swaths of the culture are not just upset over ICE tactics, they're coalescing against mass deportations as a broader ideological project.

Federal Agents Left Behind “Death Cards” After Capturing Immigrants ICE agents dropped customized ace of spades playing cards, recalling a practice by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War.

This is sick.

And it’s a reminder why half-measures are not acceptable. Abolish ICE.

If tax the rich was running for office it would be the most popular candidate in the nation.

More New Yorkers want to Tax The Rich than voted for Kathy Hochul.

One thing about people calling for the rich to pay what they owe…were good at math.

So ready for Gov. Hochul to turn the page on her Grover Norquist phase

I think he has the nominal support of the governor in general. Agree that she will be an obstacle on taxing the wealthiest New Yorkers.

With Carl Heastie behind him, Zohran Mamdani has the nominal support of the governor and the two state legislative leaders.

We'll most likely soon find out whether those endorsements mean anything in the brutal Albany cold of budget season.

A screeenshot of a twitter post from Politico reporter Jeff Coltin. There's a photo of Zohran Mamdani and NY Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie standing at a podium outside with news station microphones on the podium and a Zohran for New York City sign on the podium too. The tweet says: Would you help Mamdani raise taxes on millionaires, pass free child care and free buses, Heastie is asked? “All of the above,” Heastie said. “Millionaire taxes poll extremely well,” he adds. “With the Big Disgusting Bill, the rich are getting richer with that bill.”

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social knows what's up.

The Federal Budget Scam serves the rich, and the rich alone.

New Yorkers are more than ready to #TaxTheRich.

It's time for them to pay their fair share.

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: “New 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.”

Welp, @governor.ny.gov is on board with Trump & Congressional Republicans' efforts to make NY sicker. @axios.com reported this morning that Hochul is scrapping expanded healthcare b/c of the Federal Budget Scam. www.axios.com/2025/09/10/n...

CBO’s independent analysis looks at 5 ways Republicans might try to slash Medicaid in order to cut $880B – and found that every option will boot kids, seniors, people w/ disabilities, and more from the health insurance. Why? To pay for more tax cuts for the wealthy

This shit is a fucking ludicrous.

Tariffs to cost average family $3,800, hitting working class the hardest New tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump in recent weeks will reduce the average American family's disposable income by $3,800, according to an estimate by the Yale Budget Lab. The import tax...

A federal budget reconciliation plan that cuts healthcare, rental assistance, and food assistance to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations AND $3800 in new cost for families?

Donald Trump and his party hate regular people.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

Slashing Medicaid to Pay for Trump’s Tax Cuts Could Lead to Vast State Shortfalls Republicans have proposed lowering the federal share of costs for Medicaid expansions, which could reshape the program by gutting one of the Affordable Care Act’s major provisions.

Under the GOP's budget resolution, millions of Americans would lose their health insurance, and ten states would automatically cancel their adoption of the Medicaid expansion due to trigger laws. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...
