Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Stop having any expectations that these people will ever be honest under any circumstances. They have shown us who they are time and time again and influential accounts keep posting about them as if they are relevant. They are not relevant.

Yes. Patterns mean it happens more than twice. This is decades and decades of looking the other way when you’ve got to pay to play, that’s how it’s done. It’s time to put an end to this. We have the way. We’ve got to demand the will!

Why isn’t the call to save Democracy coming from every room? I know the answer. It’s not acceptable. #Hungary just showed U.S. I’m not willing to let Oligarchs rule my life.

Attorney General Bonta Combats Medi-Cal Fraud, Announces a $47 Million Settlement Against QOL Medical OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced a settlement against pharmaceutical manufacturer QOL Medical (“QOL”) and Frederick E. Cooper, the company’s Chief Executive Officer for submitting false claims to the Medicaid program and other government healthcare programs. The settlement resolves allegations that QOL engaged in a kickback scheme between 2018 and 2022, by providing free Carbon-13 (“C13”) test kits to providers then using the test results to sell their drug, Sucraid. This resulted in some patients taking Sucraid even though it wasn't medically necessary.

California nailed them for kickbacks.

In a recent conversation with Elena Patel from the Irving Brookings Tax Policy Center, we unpacked the U.S. Postal Service's fiscal crisis. It's a complex issue where historical funding models clash with modern demands.

The Dramatic Rise of Farm Labor Contractors Has Led to Rampant Abuses. Here’s Why Regulators Have Failed to Stop Them. Experts say there aren’t enough state and federal inspectors to adequately vet whether labor contractors who oversee farmworkers are following the rules. Nor is there broad political support to invest...

Federal regulators have done fewer agricultural investigations than at any point since the turn of the millennium. Experts say the decline reflects the limited capacity of regulators, not that conditions have improved for farmworkers.

Every name on the list owns this too. They gleefully lit torches filled w/ lies and made millions off of igniting misery. No longer the "influencers" they once were, their words are empty, their remorse or regret, meaningless. They saw it, knew the truth, fanned🔥 but it's no longer profitable so...

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.

Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.

Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

All of the federal dollars for these programs then need to stay in the states then? What a complete and total moronic person-manufactured totally irrational unworkable crisis.
