Black text on white page that reads as follows:

New Yorkers who lost their SNAP benefits because of the federal government's expanded work requirements can reapply starting today, October 1.

To find out whether you're eligible to get your benefits back or qualify for an exemption, call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669), visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA, or use the ACCESS HRA app.

It shouldn't be difficult to get the money you're owed. On day 34 of our administration, we launched NYC Free Tax Prep for the 2026 filing season. So far, it’s saved New Yorkers $226.6 million. Visit nyc.gov/TaxPrep to find a Free Tax Prep site near you.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Illinois is a sterling example of why the National Association of State Budget Officers’ work matters. Under my administration, we're now in our strongest financial position in decades. 8 balanced budgets, 12 credit rating upgrades, paid-down debt, and no overdue bill backlog.

We spent $4,800,000,000,000 destroying Iraq over 23 years. This crazy, illegal GOP war in Iran will be similar. Imagine the schools and the hospitals and the transport infrastructure we could have had for $4 Trillion. Requiescant in pace, 204,500 dead. Per @hcrichardson.bsky.social 2026-09-30
Journalists Mustafa Salim and Alex Horton explained: After more than two decades, the deaths of more than 200,000 Iraqi civilians and more than 4,500 U.S. troops, the wounding of more than 30,000 U.S. military personnel, and the cost of more than $2.8 trillion, the last of the U.S. military forces in Iraq today pulled out of Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

Paige is 100% right. For those in the Aves, esp>19th Ave, getting a cab was 😱. I took one to work M-F 4:15AM: either cab no showed &dispatch shrugged OR very creepy,scary taxi men learned my sched & lurked.

Eavesdropping: republicans don’t believe GOP convicted of sex crimes are guilty. “Not buying it,” even when a child victim, even post-trial by jury. So, assuming sex crime convictions will sway voters is a bad strategy. Harp on cost of living! And change laws so felons disqualified for all offices.
