Starting to think @SecDuffy’s favorite activity is losing in court.

Sean Duffy: "I don't want to pull money from New York. They completely rejected our offer to cooperate, and so we pulled $72 million today. There's additional tranches of money we can pull. But in the end, we can pull their ability to actually issue commercial driver's license."

As NYC faces a significant budget gap, @GovKathyHochul’s proposal will generate much needed revenue for the city without impacting every day New Yorkers. It is expected to generate at least $500 million a year in recurring revenue.

Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul

New Yorkers show up for this city every day. Some of the wealthiest property owners and foreign oligarchs don’t. It’s time they start contributing like everyone else.

The money we’re spending on this senseless war could fund child care, Medicare, Medicaid, and as many ballrooms as you’d like.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

“While we have taken action to protect coverage for 1.3 million NYers who would have otherwise lost care, hundreds of thousands more now face a serious health care crisis at the hands of these 7 NY Republicans. This was their callous vote. This is their crisis..” @GovKathyHochul

Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul

Last year, New York House Republicans voted to rip health care away from millions of working families. Now, New Yorkers are starting to feel the consequences. We've protected coverage for 1.3 million people, but no state can fill this gap. This was the GOP’s vote. This is their crisis. Fix it.

They want to kick more Americans off their health insurance to pay for a war. Anyone who votes for this doesn't deserve to represent our families in Congress. axios.com/2026/03/30/gop…

Amnesty International USA@amnestyusa·31 Mar

So-called ‘conversion therapy’ inflicts inconceivable harm on LGBTQ+ youth. Today's Supreme Court ruling leaves LGBTQ+ youth at the mercy of this highly unsafe, discredited practice. It weakens critical protections at a time of escalating anti-LGBTQ+ attacks across the country. We are united in solidarity with every young person whose future feels less certain today. Together, we will continue to work towards a better future, where LGBTQ+ youth can enjoy their human right to live freely, safely, and authentically. amnestyusa.org/press-releases…

As midterms approach health care costs are top of mind—including for LGBT voters. Our new analysis shows most LGBT adults worry about affording care and more commonly face cost related challenges than non-LGBT adults. Learn more: kff.org/lgbtq/lgbt-peo…
