Former governors
If you want to put Americans in harm's way, it needs to be done on a bipartisan basis.
This document needs to be shared with every member of the Senate this week, so that as we get into this discussion about war powers, we've got the basis of how the administration is claiming that it's legal.
The notion of at least sitting down to talk about health care, making sure that $6 billion that is set aside for SNAP benefits gets paid out so people don't go hungry and we get the government reopened again.
Get the money out to people in need, sit down with us, get this resolved this week, and let's get everybody back to work.
This is a classic thing where there's no one, you know, part of government that's got the whole answer to this.
Let's spread the word, because again, getting this done in the statute is one thing.
Get the darn thing open. Deal with the health care cliff. Don't let people go hungry, when we've got money set aside on SNAP.
I hope it ends it this week. Frankly, I see it from my folks. I was greeting voters yesterday.
The president has got to give a clear directive to Republicans that they need to reopen government because Americans are suffering.
Absolutely not and, frankly, that's a really insulting comment.
I strongly urge that. I hope it happens immediately on Monday. People in this country should not go hungry.
I am the Democrat. He is a socialist. New York cannot survive as a socialist economy.
We plan to review all our options, including working with the Legislature to modify the CLCPA, in order to protect New Yorkers from higher costs.
My job is to ensure we have enough power to keep the lights on, keep rates affordable and attract major economic development projects.
New Jersey is not a red state. New Jersey is not a purple state. In this instance, New Jersey is a blue state.
There is no way Sliwa can win, saying he can only make Zohran Mamdani win.
What has happened since is people have [found] out what he’s about, and there is no free food, and there are no free buses, and he can’t raise corporate taxes statewide and dedicate it to New York [City]. That can’t happen.
What has happened is, in the primary, Zohran got away with his TikTok band, and a smile, whatever he said, he smiled, and he had his slogans, ‘freeze the rent,’ ‘free buses,’ ‘free food,’ and that was enough.
The gap is closing fast — we can feel it on the ground everywhere from the Bronx to Staten Island. At this rate, we win the race. Keep going strong.
The Trump Administration’s decision to suspend SNAP funding as the government shutdown drags on is both unethical and illegal.
You deserve a governor who will work with Democrats and Republicans to grow our economy and not stand by while Virginia’s workforce is under attack.
