Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings,

EARLY VOTING: Sat. June 13 to Sun. June 21
ELECTION DAY: Tue June 23
WHY IS THIS ELECTION IMPORTANT?
Mike DeCillis is the only Democratic candidate running for Congress in District 11. His opponent dropped out, but her name is still on the ballot. DeCillis, a moderate grassroots progressive, needs your vote. Otherwise, the local Democratic Party Machine will choose who it wants, not you. So, GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!Map depicting district 11, Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.
