I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Republicans cut 25,000 healthcare positions at the VA, making it harder for veterans to get the care they need. That's unacceptable. I'll fight to restore these positions, invest in mental health and PTSD treatment, and modernize the VA so it can deliver the care our veterans deserve.
