Today in NY (& across the country) we stood in solidarity w/ Texas dem state legislators who are doing their job working for the people—standing up to a wannabe king. Just like the Texas legislators, NYers will fight back bc just like Texas no one messes w/ NY & in every state…people hold the power.

“New York is under attack from a Trump administration hellbent on making us sicker, hungrier, and less safe, all while making millionaires and billionaires even richer with unfair tax breaks. The Federal Budget Scam will make life harder: hospitals will close, health insurance premiums and utility bills will skyrocket, and public benefits — which we all contribute to — will be inaccessible to those who need them. “State lawmakers must protect our communities by convening a special session to: Fund our healthcare system and ensure New York is affordable for everyone by making the super-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes; and Keep New Yorkers safe by passing the New York for All and Dignity Not Detention Acts. New Yorkers can't wait any longer for lawmakers to fight back.”

Sahil Kapur on Twitter: “NEWS: 51-50, Senate votes to pass Trump's multi-trillion-dollar "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." All 47 Democrats vote NO. Republicans Rand Paul, Thom Tillis & Susan Collins vote NO. The other 50 Republicans vote YES. VP JD Vance breaks the tie.”
Senate Republicans just voted to take healthcare away from 17 million Americans to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. But the fight isn’t over. Trump’s Tax Scam now moves to the House & many Republicans aren’t happy with the Senate changes. Call your representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
‼️Keep the pressure up‼️
🛑DELAY THE BILL
Even if your Rep is a dem voting no📲call them! Every minute we get closer to the July 4th deadline without a vote the more likely it is that Republicans will start hesitating. Dems may not be in power but they have important tools to stall the vote—they need to use them! Call script⏬️
📳PHONEBANK TO SAVE MEDICAID
Join a phone bank to call Medicaid recipients & urge them to call their reps to vote no to the cuts & save Medicaid! Phone banks are July 1 + 2 from 6-8pm. RSVP⏬️www.mobilize.us/moveon/event/796084/

And because we don’t have kings…GO VOTE NYC! Early through next Sunday, June 22nd or on Election Day, June 24th!
🗳️

But they are serving to delay, make difficult, and defeat Trump’s Tax Scam.

We chatted with so many people today about rank choice voting, making a plan to vote, and not ranking Andrew Cuomo, we forgot to take a picture until after we broke down the table!
A sure way to spot New Yorkers today in tourist filled Union Square was looking for anyone wearing Knicks gear—LFG!
