For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs.

It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

Pete Buttigieg says America is pissed, and why wouldn’t we be? Premiums are skyrocketing. Hospitals are closing. Families are paying more for less care while Republicans protect the wealthy. They created this crisis.
Voters can take away their power.

That’s BILLION with a “B.”
UPDATE: Trump just awarded another $3 BILLION military contract to a company backed by his son Don Jr. (and Peter Thiel) — what skilled businessmen these Trumps are!

Robbing the American taxpayer in broad daylight.

They’re dismantling the ACA and sending bribes to people for votes.
Because of the dismantling, prices of healthcare will go up far more than the one-time bribe.

It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences.

"The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...":

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.
The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

Hallie Shoffner, the Democratic candidate running against Tom Cotton, on Morning Joe: "I'll tell you -- over the 450 days that I've been on the campaign trail, not once have I been asked about daylight savings time. Arkansas are talking about gas prices and grocery prices and healthcare."

I’m bummed out that our president thinks that Iran taking out Los Angeles or San Diego is a small price to pay. I realize the right-wing media will do their best to spin what he said. I live in NYC. I know what a terrorist attack can do to a city. Trump is a disgrace.

On what Trump said last night about letting Iran blow up Los Angeles or San Diego: Sure, don’t be outraged if you don’t believe it warrants outrage, but don’t just say he misspoke or was “sloppy” with his wording. Don’t do that. Trump stopped deserving getting any benefit of the doubt ages ago.

Believe it or not, this is supposed to be a pro-Paxton ad. I thought it was made by the Tallarico team. It’s a devastating attack ad, just not in the way they intended.

Not my president. Clearly, not a president for all Americans.

“Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”

Then Trump called it a “small price to pay.”

Millions of us dead. And his audience laughed.

In my time in Florida we @socialsecurityworks.org PAC endorsed some great candidates.

One is @Kirschner4Congress.bsky.social in FL-16, an open seat.

This Georgetown grad is the real deal, former Mayor of Sarasota running against wildly unqualified Sydney Gruters, wife of horrific RNC chair Joe.

Absolutely LOVED Troy Jackson, Maine Senate candidate against Susan Collins. So authentic!

Collins has FLUNKED senior issues. You FLUNK at 65%, and she is at 43% lifetime. She votes WRONG most of the time. Mainers should stop being conned by her!

ELECT @TroyJackson207.bsky.social!!!
Social Security is a promise that you can continue to live with dignity after you retire, become disabled, or lose a family breadwinner.

We need to elect people to Congress who are determined to keep that promise.
