As a father & a founding member of the Dads Caucus, I know that quality afterschool care is a necessity for both working families and their kids, and a boost to the economy. The Boys & Girls Republic at Henry Street Settlement is proof that afterschool programs build more than just academic skills.

The Trump administration is accelerating deportations of migrant children while stripping away the protections meant to keep them safe.   Children are being forced to navigate court alone, pressured to give up their rights, and face thousands of dollars in fees just to seek protection.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

As the World Cup comes to NY and NJ, fans are being asked to pay $150 roundtrip just to get to MetLife Stadium. That’s more than a 1000% increase on typical fares. FIFA is getting $11 BILLION in revenue from the World Cup — they can cover the $48 million for transportation to and from MetLife.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

Call me naive, but I think all journalists should be advocates for gun control and use the power of the press for change. Instead, children will keep dying, and schools will never be safe. What the fuck is wrong with y'all freaking out about your own safety but not being part of the solution?
