Huge thank you to the Westchester Black Women's Political Caucus for hosting such a great forum this past weekend in Peekskill. Fulfilling this country's true promise means striving for a future where every person is treated with dignity and respect and offered an equal shot at opportunity.

BREAKING: A complaint has been filed with the California Bar against White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, citing Popular Information’s reporting, for “the Unauthorized Practice of Law and for Holding Herself Out as Entitled to Practice Law.”

A child had to watch their father get shot by ICE. Our babies deserve to be kids. Not live in fear. Not locked in cages. And not be caught in gunfire while in the back seat of a car. This rogue ICE agency is out of control. Enough.

Instead of letting the SALT deduction cap expire at the end of 2025, Mike Lawler voted to make it a permanent tax on working families to fund tax breaks for billionaires. In 2030, it will return to $10,000, rather than disappearing for good.

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.

Every vote matters! Make sure you, your family, and your friends all have a plan to cast your ballot and bring forward the future you deserve.

I requested this report last August. It makes clear what we already knew: the Trump Administration’s Alligator Alcatraz jail is horrific. “Does not align with standards for humane treatment” is an understatement. It's shameful.

Forbes says more than $11.6 trillion in U.S. debt was added under Trump, while crypto and foreign deals poured over $1 billion into his pockets. You pay the interest. Trump pays off his mortgages. That is corruption hitting your wallet. #CorruptTrumpRegime

When I became a dad, it changed the way I see the world. We need new people thinking about the future now. Lower costs. Better healthcare. Jobs. A Michigan our kids deserve. More time with each other. I’m Abdul El-Sayed, dad, and I approve this message.

1. Elon Musk is spending millions pushing Americans to VoteSafe, which bills itself as a voter registration site but is actually a digital surveillance machine.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow mail-in ballot restrictions to move forward for a third time When are they going to learn that NO means NO. We are not children and you can’t wear us down like you’re screaming for a lollipop at the checkout counter.

Mike takes tens of thousands from monopoly utility companies, while allowing energy bills for Hudson Valley families to soar. The list goes on and on. Mike Lawler is fighting for the corporations and special interests bankrolling his campaign. As your member of Congress, I’ll fight for YOU.

Francine is exactly right, we do “need to flip this Congress and fight the corruption,” and that starts with our own congressman, Mike Lawler. Mike took $460,000 from Big Pharma and insurance companies, while letting them jack up New Yorkers’ rates.

Ted Cruz: "Texans will vote GOP because of Biden's 'flood' of immigrants." Hey Ted, the Senate had a bipartisan plan to secure the border, but Mike Johnson refused to bring it to the floor for a vote. Sit the fuck down! #ProudBlue #Pink #SheShed

It would be the privilege of a lifetime to be your congresswoman, and I promise to fight every day to deliver the representation the Hudson Valley deserves.

As we celebrate Women’s Equality Day, we must not turn a blind eye to the efforts of the Trump administration and its enablers to turn back the clock on this progress. The right to vote is a sacred American value, and right now it’s under attack. But we won’t let them win.

On this day 106 years ago, America continued on its path to form a more perfect union and legally recognized a woman’s right to vote — a monumental moment that was long overdue and reflected our country’s founding values of freedom and equality for all.
