It's pretty wild, when you think about it, that the political press spent four years saying "Biden's real test: will Americans approve of his economy?" and then Trump's been president for three months and he's brutally murdering the economy and the political press is just not that focused on it

Local food banks are a lifeline for many struggling to afford basic necessities. At a time when need is urgent, the cuts by the Trump Administration are devastating, leaving hungry families to fend for themselves.

The Times would make you think Republicans won some massive 1964 or 1980 level landslide in November, not a narrow victory with razor thin majorities and a 1% win in the popular vote for President.

You could do this on almost every issue, from abortion to immigration to economics: The media constructed an election that was a murky choice between unknowable candidates rather than a stark contrast between leaders who had *both been in power for four years* and whose values were bone-obvious

Losing Title I funding will mean losing the ability to provide critical resources, technology and supplies these students need to thrive. New York’s students deserve better. We need our congressional delegation to stand up to the Trump Administration’s cruel cuts to our children’s future.

This attempt to dismantle the Department of Education is not only unconstitutional, it will have disastrous consequences for our students. NY receives over $6 billion from the DOE, including almost $2 billion in Title I funding, a lifeline for rural schools.

They better have a plan to address this. They can't use empty political talking points like toll evasion or the typical cost cutting measure cliche to fund the most important transit system in the country. They should be sending a $16 billion check, but sadly I expect nothing but rhetoric in return.
