High-quality child care is one of the best tools we have to make life more affordable for families. In the richest nation in the world, we should invest in child care like public infrastructure. That’s why I’m leading the charge on delivering child care for Americans.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

The gist of the Jack Smith hearing was that Republicans will fabricate evidence to entrap opponents and they were upset that Jack Smith had the audacity to investigate Republicans in Congress for possibly abetting Trump's 1/6 insurrection, in other words for doing his job.
