New York City's “Rental Ripoff” hearings are giving tenants a chance to report hazardous conditions and hidden fees directly to city leaders. @emmurpheis.bsky.social says the effort signals a shift toward taking tenant concerns seriously and finding solutions to make housing more affordable.

@nyfiscalpolicy.bsky.social has the right action plan. I called Gov Hochul's office and said "the governor must call a special session immediately and follow Fiscal Policy Institute's plan to provide $700 million in food aid." You can call her too: ☎️ (518) 474-8390 fiscalpolicy.org/governor-hoc...

In New York, 3 million people rely on SNAP. Ensuring they can still eat will take $700 million per month, but we have $29 billion in reserves. Governor Hochul can call a special session immediately to move the money. Our members of Congress can condition ending the shutdown on getting reimbursed. 🧵

Critics of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's plan to fund social programs say raising taxes on millionaires will lead to significant out-migration among the wealthy But 2023 tax data from New York Department of Taxation and Finance refutes this—confirming that tax flight among high earners is a myth

It is worth noting that the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is incredibly unpopular. I haven't seen a single credible poll with support above 40% of adults. And that's just if you ask people, "Do you support the OBBB." If you poll them about the individual components, it's 30+ points underwater.

But, once the early Medicaid loss group began losing LIS, these folks started filling fewer prescriptions than those who still had LIS. Around this time, mortality rates diverged for these two groups. After both groups lost LIS, prescription fills converged; so did death rates. (9/11)
