We are profoundly disappointed with this initial decision. I hope Gov. Hochul @governor.ny.gov is right and we are wrong. But that’s not our reading of the regulations—we read them as just the opposite. www.nysut.org/news/2026/oc...

If Trump wants to put America first, he'd support all our children. Instead, he's putting America's children last. That should trouble us who still believe in the ideals of the United States of America. More in my op-ed with NAACP President Derrick Johnson. www.newsweek.com/naacp-aft-le...

Eggs are $8.05/dozen—a 38% increase since Jan. 2025. Trump promised to lower grocery prices, but working families pay more for essentials while the wealthy get tax breaks. No relief on food, housing, or healthcare—just more broken promises. It’s time for policies that work for us, not just the rich.
