The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe. During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City. Join us Monday's and Thursday's at 8EST for our Bi-Weekly Happy Hour Hangout!

With Memorial Day weekend approaching, House Speaker Mike Johnson races to finalize President Donald Trump's budget bill and push it through Congress. Also, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces consequences from a criminal investigation into his tenure and COVID handling, raising inquiries about his awareness. Thinking about getting a COVID shot this year? The FDA has updated its regulations, making it challenging for most individuals to schedule a vaccination appointment unless they're part of a specific group.

The Supreme Court made huge waves in the ongoing debate surrounding the rights of illegal immigrants in the United States when it temporarily blocked Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act, which calls for the removal of identified gang members (from confirmed terrorist organizations), following the filing of an emergency application by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The order notes, “The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.” Of course, it has left many people divided, as it surrounds controversial members of the Venezuelan Tren da Aragua gang, as well as the Salvadoran MS-13 gang and several Mexican cartels. I will ask Michael A. Letts, the Founder, President, and CEO of InVest USA (a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bulletproof vests for their police forces all across the U.S.), his thoughts about the Supreme Court intervening in the enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has instituted what she and her political cohorts call a “congestion pricing program,” which was approved by the Biden administration on Joe's way out of the White House. Hochul and company sought approval from Biden and his people because the program is a toll on roads built and maintained with federal dollars, which is a violation of federal law. The Trump administration reviewed the program, canceled the approval granted by Biden, and issued a deadline to end the collection of tolls. Hochul and other New York officials have, so far, ignored the Trump administration, but now faces an escalation as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has issued warnings that federal funding for construction projects in New York City will be cut off if the illegal toll isn't ended. I discuss the issue with Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorists Association, an organization dedicated to protecting American drivers against the tyranny of the anti-car movement. I was joined by Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience. We discussed the arrest of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano and his wife, Nancy, for tampering with evidence that was part of a probe by Homeland Security Investigations into their association with 23-year-old Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, who authorities say is linked to Tren de Aragua; also, the arrest of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan for intentionally misdirected federal agents away from a subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. We also discussed North Dakota Republican Governor Kelly Armstrong vetoing a bill that would have required school districts to keep books determined to be “sexually explicit” out of the reach of students.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/supportInVest USATruth, Lies and Control: Finding Hope in an Upside-Down WorldNational Motorist Association Ron EdwardsIf you love high-quality jerky, you need to check out Jerky Snob.

The Biden administration approved the project in 2023, with construction beginning last year. The interior secretary accused the former administration of “rush[ing] through its approval without sufficient analysis.” He did not provide further details on potential faults identified. “On day one, [President Donald Trump] called for comprehensive reviews of federal wind projects and wind leasing, and at Interior, we are doing our part to make sure these instructions are followed,” Burgum wrote in a follow-up post. In response to the pause, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the project had already generated roughly 1,000 “good-paying union jobs” and is contributing to the state's economy. “This fully federally permitted project has already put shovels in the ground before the President's executive orders—it's exactly the type of bipartisan energy solution we should be working on,” Hochul wrote in a statement. “As Governor, I will not allow this federal overreach to stand. I will fight this every step of the way to protect union jobs, affordable energy, and New York's economic future.” According to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, offshore wind farms “can be damaging to fish and other marine species” due to the noise and vibration from both the construction and operation of the wind turbines. Disturbing the sea floor during construction can also “affect plankton in the water column.” Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912952517346070939 According to Apollo, foreigners own a massive $18.5 trillion of US stocks, or 20% of the total US equity market. Moreover, foreign holdings of US Treasuries are at $7.2 trillion, or 30% of the total. Investors from abroad also hold 30% of the total corporate credit market, for a total of $4.6 trillion. Foreign investors want out amid the volatility. IMF issues global economy warning The global economy is expected to grow more slowly this year and face higher inflation, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said, citing global trade disruptions and rising “protectionism.” Sweeping tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, which he says are focused on prioritizing domestic manufacturing and renegotiating trade deals in favor of the US, have caused a sharp rift with trade partners, including the European Union and China.
There probably wouldn't be enough room in a three-ring circus for all the candidates and all the drama in the race for mayor in New York City. In the wake of federal corruption charges that have been dropped against him, incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is struggling in the polls. Rather than run in a crowded Democratic primary, Adams announced this month that he's skipping that race in June and will run as an independent candidate in the general election in November. Meanwhile, despite major controversies in his past, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is the early frontrunner in the crowded primary race that also includes the City Council speaker, the city comptroller and several state lawmakers. One of the early surprises in the race has been the strong showing of little-known Queens state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Joining NY1's Errol Louis to size up the field is Jeff Coltin, a reporter at Politico, who is an expert in local politics. Their conversation delved into the complexities of ranked-choice voting and the strategies of various candidates, including former City Comptroller Scott Stringer, current City Comptroller Brad Lander, Queens state Sen. Jessica Ramos and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. They also touched on the unpredictability of the race and the calculations candidates are making leading up to the primary and the general election.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for today's 3 Martini Lunch. They break down Senate Democrats blocking a ban on males in women's sports, Andy's argument that Trump is most to blame for the Oval Office confrontation with Zelensky, and Andrew Cuomo's political comeback as he runs for mayor of New York City.First, they highlight how every Senate Democrat voted against legislation barring men from competing in women's sports, preventing the bill from advancing. They explain why Democrats refuse to change course, even as they keep handing Republicans a potent campaign issue.Next, Andy asserts that the biggest problem in Friday's heated Oval Office exchange was Trump himself—allowing the photo-op to drag on, failing to grasp the Russian threat, and positioning himself as neutral between Russia and Ukraine. He also argues against the type of war resolution Trump appears to support.Finally, they react as disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially launches his mayoral bid. While Cuomo correctly identifies many of New York City's biggest issues, Andy reminds listeners that Cuomo's own policies are largely responsible for the city's decline.Please visit our great sponsors:Download the FREE CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at https://Netsuite.com/MartiniNever run out of MEAT go to https://omahasteaks.com/3ML subscribe and get 12 FREE burgers, FREE shipping, and an EXTRA 10% OFF.

Kennedy's hilarious but accurate diagnosis of Democrats, NGO's running out of customers for their migrant facilities along the border, and whether New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams.First, Jon and Greg share their amusement over Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy's insightful and often hilarious analysis of the Democratic Party's struggles in the 2024 elections.

There are plenty of secrets and hacks when it comes to air travel, but one that's lesser known is aircraft trading cards. While some travel enthusiasts have been collecting them for years, others are just now finding out about trading cards from social media posts that have gone viral. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, The crystal-covered ball that descends down a pole in Times Square to ring in the new year was taken for a test run, as New York City officials laid out their plans for the iconic New Year's Eve event. A political war on the Hudson erupted Monday over New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the MTA's controversial $9 congestion toll. The MTA can begin collecting the first-in-the-nation congestion fee to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street on Jan. 5 — following a federal judge's ruling in Newark. And in the American west in Los Angeles, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reached a divorce settlement, ending one of the longest and most contentious divorces in Hollywood history but not every legal issue between the two.
Mayor Eric Adams raised plenty of eyebrows this week when he decided to skip Martin Luther King Jr. events in New York City so he could attend the inauguration of President Trump. Adams had nothing to say to reporters on the following day after the president pardoned more than 1,500 Jan. 6 insurrectioners and tried to end birthright citizenship. That night, conservative media pundit Tucker Carlson released an interview he taped with the mayor in which Adams said the Democratic party has abandoned him. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan discuss the firestorm of criticism Adams has received from New York Democrats and then examined what the mayor's already-bleak political future might entail. After that, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul released her $252 billion budget this week, which included tax breaks for middle-class families, inflation rebate checks, and a new mandate for millions of school kids — no phones in the classroom. The "Off Topic" team breaks down the hefty new budget. Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com

Finally, they offer their reviews of "Reagan," the new film depicting Reagan's lifelong crusade against Soviet communism from Hollywood to the Oval Office. And while they both offer some constructive criticism, they both see the film as a good account of how Reagan viewed the communist threat and how he successfully dealt with it.Please visit our great sponsors:Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

At the height of the pandemic, COVID-19 was talked about as “the great equalizer,” an idea touted by celebrities and politicians from Madonna to then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But that was a myth. Ibram X. Kendi and Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research worked with The COVID Tracking Project to compile national numbers on how COVID-19 affected people of color in the U.S. Their effort, The COVID Racial Data Tracker, showed that people of color died from the disease at around twice the rate of White people.The COVID Tracking Project's volunteer data collection team waited months for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to release COVID-19 testing data. But when the CDC finally started publishing the data, it was different from what states were publishing—in some instances, it was off by hundreds of thousands of tests. With no clear answers about why, The COVID Tracking Project's quest to keep national data flowing every day continued until March 2021. This week on Reveal: We examine the myth of COVID-19 as “the great equalizer,” what went wrong in the CDC's response to the pandemic, and whether it's prepared for the next one. This Peabody Award-nominated three-part series is hosted by epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera and reported by Artis Curiskis and Kara Oehler from The COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic.
