Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.
Jonah Goldberg: This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.

The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.
