Public Service Loan Forgiveness was created as a promise to teachers, nurses, firefighters, and social workers that their service to our communities would be honored.
I will not let our federal government punish New York’s public servants for doing their jobs.

New Yorkers deserve to know whether their personal information is being used to set the prices they pay, and if businesses are charging customers different prices for the same products.
Think The Algorithm Set A High Price Just For You? New State Law Might Help
The New York AG is warning about so-called "dynamic pricing" and encouraging New Yorkers to report undisclosed use.

Earlier this year, a Florida law that guts the powers of civilian oversight boards went into effect.
“They’re making it seem un-American to question policing," said one critic.

Police Oversight in Florida Is Already Weak. The State Is About to Gut It Further.
A bill headed to the governor’s desk would bar civilian oversight boards from investigating instances of police misconduct, further restricting their limited powers of accountability.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I adore Muhly grass. It is my favorite thing to see, waving in the wind just before sunset during Autumn in Florida.
Windy wildflowers and grasses.

Budget bill’s inclusion of funds for senators to sue DOJ for up to $500,000 each for investigating them is the ultimate pork barrel legislation. I’ll discuss with @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @msnbc.com at 8:25 pm ET.

Doug Jones won before & if you doubt he can do it again, you’re not paying attention to Alabama.
Tuberville has a record, but so does Jones.
If Jones jumps in, the contrast couldn’t be greater. A real Alabaman who prosecuted a KKK cold case vs Florida man who treats the state like rental property.

On November 14, 2025, in Evanston, Illinois, disturbing video footage emerged showing Border Patrol Goons attempting to flee the scene of an accident. In their escape, they resorted to pepper-spraying witnesses, instilling fear and intimidation in the community that resides just outside Chicago.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”
