Why is @governor.ny.gov caving to Trump and taking away our healthcare? If she really wants to protect New Yorkers, she'd #taxtherich so every New Yorker can see a doctor without going broke. It's really that simple...and popular!

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... Our response (spoiler, she should #TaxTheRich instead)👇

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.”

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Susan Collins could stop this she won’t. Along with her votes on justices who took away Roe she has arguably done more to harm America than any single senator.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Once a TV huckster, always a TV huckster. These aren't "audiences." They're people. The reason these folks didn't go on the exchanges in the first place is because they don't make enough money. Oh, and they're cutting the ACA subsidies too so even more people will lose insurance.

Mehmet Oz on people who don't satisfy work requirements for Medicaid: "We're gonna ask you to go on and do something else, like go on the exchanges, or get a job and get commercial insurance, but we're not gonna continue to pay for Medicaid for those audiences."

Trump Republicanism targets firefighters, first responders, miners, people who work in manufacturing: "We’re really losing 40 years worth of work. Even if they restart them, we’re going to have lost so many people to follow up...” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A reminder that as Trump advances a bill to give himself a huge tax cut and f--k over working people, he's probably pocketed a billion dollars this week from illegally exploiting the Presidency. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, slot - Trump is a walking embodiment of the 7 deadly sins.

Trump made $400m from his dinner tomorrow night. Along with the plane + improvements the dude pocketed $1b this week leveraging the Presidency. $1 billion - while he cuts health care for seniors and working people and raises prices on all of us.

The GOP knows Trump’s Tax Scam with massive Medicaid cuts is wildly unpopular. That’s why they held their hearing at 1 AM — to hide their bill from the American people. Don’t let them get away with it. If a Republican represents you, demand that they reject this bill: indivisible.org/reso...
