ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

Good morning. ☕

ICYMI: Trump is demolishing the *entire* East Wing of the White House -- after pledging in July not to touch it as he makes way for his massive, privately funded $250M ballroom -- and it's expected to be fully torn down by this weekend.

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, millions of Americans in at least 25 states will lose access to food stamps on November 1st.

The perfect storm of cruelty.

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.

The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

Presenting a plan to show Americans you have a plan is not negotiating. Trump has no plan.
Q: What are the president's plan for preventing rising healthcare costs?

LEAVITT: It's a very good question, and I'll leave that for the president to negotiate that when Democrats vote to reopen the government

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.

It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.

I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.
