MAGA H-1B policies will mean fewer doctors in rural Western NY. They’re blocking international physicians who already keep our hospitals afloat. End result? Sicker patients, longer drives, and ERs on delay. @wgrztv.bsky.social

When J6 rioters are pardoned and masked federal agents abduct citizens without due process, the message is clear: vigilantes don’t need laws—just permission

The escalation of ICE raids is by design. The regime is looking for an opportunity to provoke a resistance and suspend rights broadly under a national emergency declaration.
The narrative will be “deranged leftist anti-police lunatics are trying to intimidate law enforcement from doing their jobs”

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing.
He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing.
He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing.
He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing.
Art of the Deal.

It definitely made sense for the stable genius to start a trade war with Canada and talk about making them our 51st state right before he rolled out a grand plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system that requires the cooperation and help of Canada. Master strategist.

Every time someone quotes one of my posts and states that Missourians deserve to go hungry because the state went for Trump, remember that over 40% of the state voted for Harris.
And, children don’t vote. Children are the ones who will go hungry...

30,000 people in my district (NY23) will lose health insurance thanks to the GOP tax cut bill, supported by our republican rep.
In Chautauqua County, ERs are already overwhelmed.
Expect more delays. More burnout. More unpaid care.
This isn’t policy—it’s a direct hit to rural healthcare.

Many Americans are being distracted by the vague use of the term “due process,” not constitutional rights—The 5th and 6th Amendments guarantee the right to be informed of charges, face your accuser, and defend yourself. “Due process” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a foundation of freedom in America

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

Fiscal policy demands stability, and long-term trust, none of which exist when executive actions ignite uncertainty at home & abroad. Until the constitutional balance is restored, major fiscal shifts risk compounding chaos, not solving it.

Dear Congress:
Your experiment in enabling an imperial presidency to disrupt global markets and undermine the full faith and credit of the United States—must end.
Restore the balance of power. Act with courage and care for the American people and the world.
Failure to act is a breach of duty.

No one’s defending criminals, but you don’t get to skip the law. Due process ain’t optional. You toss it for migrants today, tomorrow it’s your kid or spouse.
That’s the problem, and they damn well know it. Now stop with this nonsense. Follow the rule of law defined in our constitution. PERIOD!
