Right now, too many New York families are unable to access affordable child care. We're going to change that. Today we launched a new pre-screening tool to help families get connected with child care assistance resources. Learn more: https://t.co/cqUUjIY4ta

Sounds about whyt. #HealthSavingsAccounts
Today, Frances Perkins is being inducted into the Maine Women’s Hall of Fame. Her policies were brilliant, ambitious, and changed millions of lives. Let's remember her legacy as we fight for Medicare for All and an end to poverty in America.

Why are people conflating one group that lobbies for massive U.S. military aid to Israel with another group that lobbies for massive U.S. military aid to Israel? It reeks of bigotry

The growing prog-lib consensus that U.S. military aid to Israel is good so long as it is a) for defensive purposes only and b) conditioned on human rights is awesome. First proviso is virtually meaningless; the second is easy to game and slow-walk with lawyers. Sign me up! #Savvy

He makes a lot of good points! Airtight logic #HealthSavingsAccounts
Asked by @lisakashinsky about the shift of opinions on AIPAC among Democrats and whether he personally would reject money from the group, @CoryBooker says “First and foremost, there is a singling out of AIPAC that is troubling to me.” Says there are Iranian Americans and Turkish

Deeply disappointed at this hate speech from @Lis_Smith
Lis Smith of all people pans Governor Mills’ messaging on Iran, praises Graham’s messaging. “Too many Democrats…default to playing legalistic hall monitor and complaining about how Donald Trump didn’t fill out the right paperwork before launching strikes.”

Pay no attention. Polling error. And just wait till @GovernorShapiro leans into his record as an IDF volunteer and Bibi stalwart when he runs for president in 2 years! #winning
NBC poll: 57% of Democrats have a negative view of Israel. 54% of Republicans view Israel positively. Only 17% of Democratic voters sympathize with Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I too am in favor of establishing more permanent U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf and MENA region in general (as a way of ending our “Forever Wars,” of course) #Savvy
As I told @TIME, a U.S. military presence on Kharg would simultaneously guarantee freedom of navigation by dominating the northern Persian Gulf, give President Trump direct control over Iran’s oil sector, and create the physical precondition for redirecting Iranian oil from

I mean, what did the Israeli military ever do to hurt anyone? Geez. #Savvy
The mayor of New York doesn’t want Washington to give $3.8BN/yr plus another $4BN to the Israeli military. Hey, why such unmoderated fanaticism? Must-read reporting in @TheAtlantic #Savvy

NYC Mayor Mamdani has moderated on some issues — but not Israel. Opposition to Israel is central to his worldview. It’s at the very top of his ideological list. As he has said, the struggle for Palestinian liberation lies at “the core” of his politics.

Great idea! #HealthSavingsAccounts
0% state income tax for California families making under $100,000. That’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket where it belongs. As Governor, I’ll work the issue at both ends—lowering taxes for those who are struggling and raising them on the biggest corporations that can

Sexist garbage. Why am I not surprised? #HealthSavingsAccounts
"when I come across the mayor in my social media feed, it’s like news beamed in from an entirely different universe—more colorful, more energetic, much less intimidated by local sclerosis and far more certain that government can do a lot more, for many more people, than it has."

Worth considering 🤔
in Iran, we are unable to defend protesters, but we can attack regime military sites, provide internet help to opposition, & publicly articulate a package of eco benefits that iran would get if it gave up its nuclear program & proxies and embraced political reform.

But do you ever hear my niece and her friends say “Stop arming the Sudanese RSF militia with billions of US tax dollars”? Well? I ask you! Henh? Henhhh? I rest my case. #Savvy
More people died in a 2 month span in Sudan than the entire 2 year war in Gaza, but none of these folks actually care.
