Anthony Nicodemo for Westchester County Legislator
I am grateful to have the full endorsement of NYS Senator Shelley Mayer, who has been a voice for those too often ignored. She’s seen my work up close as a coach, teacher, union leader, and advocate and she knows I won’t stay quiet when something isn’t right.

On today’s National Milk Day, I want to give a huge shout out to our Hudson Valley dairy farmers for their hard work to provide the nutrient rich milk that our kids need to stay healthy. Proud that this year we can celebrate the passage of my Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act!

A fair contract for nurses means better care for patients. #solidarity We demand a fair contracts for @nynurses No Replacement nurses!
NYSNA@nynurses

Patient safety is nurses' #1 concern. It’s irresponsible for hospitals to force nurses on strike and rely on inadequate contingency plans to care for patients. We don't want replacement nurses here, we want a fair contract now!

Josh Shapiro is absolutely right!
Occupy Democrats@OccupyDemocrats

BREAKING: Pennsylvania's beloved Governor Josh Shapiro incinerates "weak human being" J.D. Vance for his disgusting attacks on ICE shooting victim Renée Good. Vance just set his own presidential dreams on fire... "He began rhetorically by saying, 'What's going on here?' I'll tell you what's going on here. It is yet another example of how J.D. Vance has absolutely no core," Shapiro told MeidasTouch. "That guy is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do, whatever he thinks will curry him favor that day with Donald Trump." Vance has horrified Americans over the past few days by rushing to defend the bloodthirsty ICE officer who gunned down an innocent mother in Minneapolis. Vance blamed her for her own death and whined that the media is being unfair to the masked, heavily armed predators prowling our streets. "And he's also just absolutely wrong on how he's approaching the situation of keeping people safe in Minnesota," continued Shapiro. "I know you didn't ask about it, but I hope you don't mind me just taking a minute on this, because we saw a tragic end of life in Minnesota where children were left without a mom, where a spouse was left without her partner. And what we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting vice president of the United States, but we need a real thorough investigation as to what occurred." "You know, because you've interviewed me, I used to be the attorney general of this commonwealth, the chief law enforcement officer," Shapiro continued. "And we dealt with these tragic situations where there was a law enforcement involved shooting and the most important thing you can do is calm tensions in the community, conduct a thorough and complete investigation." "And J.D. Vance also said later in that briefing that they were not going to participate in that. Kristi Noem said that too, by the way, another wholly unqualified person in a really important role," he added. To Shapiro's point, Vance has shown the opposite of leadership during this explosive national moment. Rather than trying to calm tensions and understand why this tragedy happened, he's pouring gasoline on the partisan divide and exploiting this killing to excite the MAGA base. "What we need right now is to end the gaslighting, end the lunacy of J.D. Vance's ridiculous statements, and instead have an investigation where you are able to get all of the evidence put forth, which is going to require the federal government to be participants in that process, and then bring about the truth to the community," Shapiro went on. "The only way that you're going to restore faith and trust in the community is by making sure the community has the truth of what really occurred," he said. "And J.D. Vance did his job on behalf of Donald Trump yesterday, which was to block the truth from coming out, to make a community less safe instead of trying to create more safety and security in that area." "J.D. Vance knows better, man. He should be ashamed of himself. And he's not and I think that that speaks to the weakness of his character," the governor added. In addition to being incredibly craven, evil, and opportunistic, Vance's reaction to Good's murder is politically unwise. The fascists online may be praising him for his hateful rhetoric, but the American people are going to be deeply alienated by it. When he tries to run for president, these shameful remarks will come back to haunt him. Please ❤️ and share if you would NEVER vote for J.D. Vance.

TX's actions are a transparent effort to smear educators, divide our communities, and deny our kids opportunities to learn & thrive. Educators should be judged on their work, not some culture war that exploits horrific violence for political ends. apnews.com/article/charli…
