Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

JUST IN: Colorado joins a lawsuit over gender-affirming care and federal funding. An executive order means hospitals that provide such care may lose federal dollars. AG Phil Weiser, now a serial suer of the new administration, calls the E-O "not only illegal, but also cruel."
