It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

WARNING! We all need to be aware of what is happening here. Join my campaign to unseat Claudia Tenney in this red, gerrymandered NY24. Trump just endorsed her and she is pure MAGA. Link is in my Bio, please consider a contribution if you care about taking back The House in 2026. Share far and wide!

Wonderful welcome in New Orleans for our Leadership Congress at the Association of Community College Trustees. Education is a key platform in my run for Congress in NY24. We are wading through the executive orders and standing up for our students and communities!

We thought it could never happen here. And yet, our elders always said it most certainly could. And so it has begun.

Paintball guns or not- the intent was clear. Border Patrol agents wanted to intimidate and scare peaceful protesters. @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @nytimes.com @cnn-news.bsky.social
🚨 Is this who we are #OswegoNY? Activity at Border Patrol

They look to be pointing “weapons” at peaceful UNARMED protestors. Could be paintball guns

There is reason to believe they’re transporting the women kidnapped from Cato today
