In the face of detrimental federal funding cuts, Governor Kathy Hochul today convened a cabinet meeting to discuss the impacts of President Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” on New York State. The cuts imposed by Washington Republicans include an anticipated $13 billion being cut from New York’s health care system, 1.5 million New Yorkers being stripped of health insurance coverage, and more than 300,000 households projected to lose some or all of their SNAP benefits. In addition to assessing these and other impacts, Governor Hochul has directed State agencies to prepare comprehensive strategies to help limit the long-term damage to vital programs facing federal cuts.

Trump breaks silence after Supreme Court rules against his birthright citizenship order
Less than an hour after the Supreme Court dealt the Trump administration a devastating blow by rejecting its attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump began plotting a legislative workaround.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.”
He urged Congress to "start TODAY" on ending birthright citizenship, pledging his "Complete and Total Support."
Birthright citizenship, enshrined in the 14th Amendment, grants full U.S. citizenship to all people born in the United States or its territories regardless of parental citizenship status.
Trump, supported by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has long targeted birthright citizenship as part of his immigration crackdown agenda, according to Bulwark Media.
Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed the U.S. is the only country with such rights, despite dozens of nations, including Canada and Mexico, having identical protections, according to The Washington Post.
