Local news shouldn’t rely on the continued generosity of wealthy benefactors. @THECITYNY’s reporting is a public service to New Yorkers. We should compensate reporters accordingly via local journalism payroll tax credits — as @AMCarrieWoerner & I have proposed in S625A.
New: New York nonprofit newsroom The City has seen a major drop in support from donors, including the Ford Foundation and Craig Newmark. The organization and staff reached an agreement for employees to take a 20% work hour reduction. semafor.com/article/09/20/20

What is Bidenomics, anyway? It's what @SecYellen calls modern-day supply-side economics–put simply, investing in people. #CGI2023

Since I took office last year, my team and I have been working with local stakeholders to create an initiative that has the potential to make a profound difference in the lives of thousands of residents in Council District 3.

In which member from a Trump +16 district is more willing to tell his constituents and the American people the truth than the 6 battleground New York Republicans cosplaying as “moderates.”
Freedom Caucus Republican: "Republicans in the House who are itching for an impeachment are relying on an imagined history. Their inquiry...rests heavily on a fictitious version of Shokin’s career, with the alleged investigation of Burisma at the center."washingtonpost.com/opinions/

Rather than leading in the majority, the House GOP are failing the American people who sent us to DC to govern. Instead of funding the government, the GOP's been hijacked by extremists and are barreling head-first into a shutdown while wasting time on a sham impeachment inquiry.

Don't sleep on the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court race folks! Judicial races matter when every vote counts...
Pennsylvania has the nation's only state supreme court election this fall. It just so happens to be in the most critical swing state, a year from the presidential race. And candidates have signaled they'd take election law in different directions. Read: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania-su

A world-class commuter hub deserves a world-class entrance! BP Levine joined @RepJerryNadler @ebottcher @tonysimone and @LizKrueger to express their support for the construction of a west-facing "grand entrance" for Penn Station to meet the needs of a rapidly growing community.

Eric Adams is stoking fear to push for the austerity he was going to pursue anyway.
âžĄïž New: The City recently added $2.3 billion in asylum seeker cost estimates in FY2024 and $4.1 billion in FY2025. The proposed 15% agency cuts — totaling $10 billion per year — are billions higher than the increased cost estimates for asylum seekers. fiscalpolicy.org/breaking-do

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight for a farewell get together! I'm blessed to have met so many awesome people while I've been in NYC. I will surely miss everyone. There are many that I will still try to catch in the next few days before I go. – at Brooklyn, NY

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) explains why he rejected Republican lawmakers' attempts to means-test school meals for K-12 students: "The haves and the have-nots in the school lunchroom is not a necessary thing. Just feed our children."
