Zohran Mamdani: A Historic Child Care Plan. 

New York City’s mayor presents the 2-K program: free, full-day, full-year child care for two-year-olds, regardless of income or immigration status. In this interview with Radio Bilingüe, Mamdani walks through the details of the initiative, designed to ease one of the greatest financial burdens on working and immigrant families. How will this program work? How will it be sustained? Who will be the first to access it? Who will provide the services? And how will it attract qualified, bilingual staff?

Child Well-Being in Decline. Children thrive depending on where they grow up, where opportunities and support are available. That is the conclusion of a new report revealing that child well-being worsened in most states. Education recorded the steepest drop, alongside health and housing. Yet there are also signs of progress. What are those signs? What are the most alarming findings? And what are the recommendations?

Voter Fraud Theories Won’t Stop. President Trump has repeatedly attacked mail-in voting, claiming it is rife with fraud and allows non-citizens to vote. He recently signed an executive order imposing new restrictions on mail ballots and giving DHS and the U.S. Postal Service a green light to intervene in elections. This program examines what is false and what, if anything, is true in the claims of mail-in voter fraud.
