How can

In this era of attacks on workers + unions by Trump admin,
@governor.ny.gov
wants to allow big corps who violated labor law off the hook, even when workers are already in court. The

What?! We have to wait till the Supreme Court decides *and* Trump disobeys them for Schumer to finally conclude "democracy is at risk"? Trump & Musk are already ignoring *and* openly defying court orders! One thing continues to be clear: Schumer is not the leader Democrats need for this moment.

Mayor Adams has forgotten that NYC has always been the international capital of the world, built and strengthened by citizens of the world. Given that he has badly betrayed the people of New York, he must step down. If not, we need Governor Hochul to remove him to save our city.
