I organized a rally at my Republican Congressman Garborino’s office last week. We had hundreds of people show up for democracy and to demand that our representative hold an in-person town hall.
Thanks to all the grassroots organizers who helped!
Together we will win!

10 point improvement everywhere across NY. The margin in my race against the R incumbent for County legislature dropped 11 points vs 2023. Republicans outspent Dems 4-to-1 here to keep corrupt Trump crony Blakeman as County Exec, but we *will* oust him.
Amazing story. There was a real blue wave all across NY State in November.
The real political shift in New York wasn’t Mamdani — it was everywhere else

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.
Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?
Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."
