Trump & Hegseth's reckless, illegal war has sent gas prices soaring. It's hardworking Americans who pay the price. Enough is enough. Time to end this failed war, bring down prices, and hold them accountable.

For what possible reason is Congress not in session having this debate in front of the American people?!? So Speaker Johnson could get another paid vacation? If you feel so strongly your plan to commit war crimes is popular, come vote for it.

13 Americans dead. Billions spent. One dictator replaced with a younger, more extreme one. To my Republican colleagues: YOU have the power to stop these atrocities. EVERY PATRIOT must say enough is enough. History will remember the cowardice of those who let this happen.

Super proud of the movement we’re continuing to build & grow in NY-18. And grateful to everyone who helped us collect more than 12,000 (!!!) signatures for the November ballot. In the Hudson Valley, we Don’t Agonize. We Organize.

50,000+ troops deployed. 2 MEUs with combat-ready Marines. Billions in assets sent to the region. Trump can BS & bluster all he wants — but anyone who’s served knows that the facts on the ground are what matters. He owes the American people a REAL plan & explanation.

Patriots across the country are fighting back. And we are winning. Don't for a second doubt how much power there is in YOUR voice. And don't for a second think you can't make a difference.

It’s easy to start a war. It’s a lot harder to end one. I lost friends in Iraq because of the BS “figure it out as we go” logic of the early 2000s. Trump is falling face first into the exact same mistake – and it’s our young Patriots in uniform who pay the price.

For anyone & everyone out there saying they don’t support “boots on the ground.” Time to put up or shut up. Johnson needs to bring the House back immediately. Our draft-dodging President will continue to spill American blood & spend American treasure unless we stop him NOW.

Rallying in Beacon for Liberty & Justice for ALL. That’s what the Hudson Valley is all about. Thanks to Indivisible 845 for organizing!

Patriotism means loving your country enough to fight for it. THOUSANDS lined Rte. 9 in Poughkeepsie to make our voices heard. THIS is what democracy looks like 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Amazing energy in Rhinebeck this morning! Thank you Hudson Valley Strong for organizing.  Proud to stand with you all for our country, community, and flag.  No Kings in the Hudson Valley since 1776 🇺🇲

My colleagues know the President has no plan. They know that Americans are hurting. At the gas pump, the grocery store, in their medical bills. They know that giving Trump another $200B blank check will only make things worse. It’s a simple question: Who do you fight for?

The President is sending thousands of Soldiers & Marines into a war zone — yet yesterday senior military leaders couldn’t even tell us what their mission is?! So yeah — it’s a shitshow.

Tonight on The Briefing! Rep. Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social Rep. Chris Deluzio @deluzio.house.gov Rep. Jamie Raskin @raskin.house.gov Rep. Ro Khanna @khanna.house.gov 9pmET on MS NOW!

Trump thinks he’s entitled to $200B MORE of your tax dollars without even telling you why. That’s no “small price to pay.” Not when he can’t even articulate our aims. Not when millions of Americans are being crushed by high prices. It’s on all of us to fight back.

Americans have been clear: they want less war & lower costs. But they’re paying the price for Trump’s illegal war every day. At the gas pump, at the grocery store, in their utility bills. It’s a direct betrayal of the American people.

War is not a game.

Ryan: Hegseth has literally become more deranged than the SNL skits at this point. Each time he screws up, he gets more desperate—he screams louder. He is fucking pathetic. He has the blood of thirteen Americans on his hands, and he needs to be held accountable for that.

WTF?! Tell that to the men & women bravely risking their lives for our country as we speak. Tell it to the families of those who have already died. Giving up every ounce of dignity to spout BS like this on TV doesn’t make you look tough. It's pathetic.

Nobody does St. Patrick’s Day like the Hudson Valley! 🇮🇪☘️🍻

Every day, patriotic young Americans selflessly volunteer to serve – willing to make the ultimate sacrifice if called upon. They trust us to only send them into harm’s way when absolutely necessary. Honoring that trust means asking the hard questions – no matter what.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s weekend the right way at Keegan Ales!! Thanks to Lisa and team for letting me jump behind the bar ☘️🇮🇪!

Freedom from Want. Freedom from Fear. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Worship. What FDR laid out wasn’t just poetry – it was a promise. A promise to fight for American freedoms. To march to expand them. To bleed to make them real. That’s what the Hudson Valley is all about.

We’ve seen this playbook before — DC rushing into conflict while working families and young service members abroad pay the price. Gas prices are skyrocketing. 7 US troops are already dead. Americans want lower costs & no more forever wars — Trump is doing the opposite.

A lesson Trump is learning the hard way: it’s easy to start a war. It’s a lot harder to end one.  Meanwhile, Americans are paying the price

"Asking the hard questions is the most patriotic thing to do because [the] troops, trust us." –Representative Pat Ryan

Trump just bailed out Ticketmaster – a monopoly that’s been ripping off fans for years. It’s the same damn story over and over again. Billionaires in boardrooms gouging hard-working Americans without thinking for a second of the impact on the fans.

Elise Stefanik hasn’t held an in-person town hall in 6 years. So my friend @aoc.bsky.social and I decided to hop in the car to Glens Falls and hold one ourselves. Showing up everywhere. Listening to everyone. Fighting for our future. That’s what democracy looks like.

The best part of the Hunts Point Produce Market is CLEARLY the apples and onions from the Hudson Valley. Thanks to @aoc.bsky.social and Teamsters Local 202 for showing me around!

The lies. The chaos. The shifting rationales. I served two combat tours in Iraq. I saw fellow soldiers, friends, die because of chicken-hawk foreign policy by a President who never wore the uniform.  I refuse to watch the country I love repeat the same mistakes.

Really looking forward to hearing about these “special assignments” during Senator Mullin’s confirmation hearing! No way he is totally lying about that too, right?

Evil + Stupid is a deadly combination.  Markwayne Mullin is EVERYTHING that’s wrong with DC today, and putting the security of the homeland under his guidance – especially as Trump wages an illegal, open-ended war – is a terrible idea.

Tonight on The Briefing! Gov. Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov Rep. Pat Ryan Rep. Seth Moulton @moulton.house.gov Rep. Maggie Goodlander @goodlander.house.gov Rep. Jake Auchincloss @repauchincloss.bsky.social

The American people have been crystal clear: they want lower costs & no more wars. 6 Patriots already dead. Billions of YOUR tax dollars spent in less than a week. Every Member who voted against this resolution just BETRAYED the people they claim to represent.

They don’t even pretend to have a reasonable case for launching a war that has already cost 6 American lives and billions of dollars.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth have betrayed the American people.

Six young, Patriotic Americans were killed fighting for the country they love. We should be honoring their sacrifice. Mourning with their families. Instead, Trump is proving this war was never about protecting the American people. It’s about his own ego.

@pkryan.bsky.social (D, NY-18) joined us to share his take on the U.S. war with Iran, the upcoming House vote on war powers, and what Congress's role should be right now. wnyc.org/story/rep-pat-ryan-on-war-in-iran/

The question is simple.  Do you want to send our tax dollars and our brave service members overseas for another regime-change war? Every American should know what side their Representative is on. I’m with the people. No war with Iran.

The American people voted for lower costs and no more wars. Trump is raising costs and just started ANOTHER war.    It's a straight-up betrayal.  More expensive. Less safe. That’s life under Trump.

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about. We need a War Powers vote NOW. You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

I risked my life to defend American values. Trump is trampling on them. Americans killed in the street. Innocent civilians rounded up. Veterans deported, kids detained. Every freedom-loving, Patriotic American knows how wrong this is. It’s on ALL of us to fight back.

If you want to know the true State of the Union, ask folks: Have your grocery bills gone down? Has your rent gone down? Have your healthcare costs gone down? Those of us in the real world know the answer. Trump can lie all he wants. We feel the truth every day.

The proposed mass detention center in Chester is dangerous, un-American, & the exact opposite of everything our community stands for. This isn’t partisan — it’s a question of who FIGHTS for the people. The entire Hudson Valley is standing together — and we’re winning.

The State of the Hudson Valley is STRONG in the face of harms. PROUD of neighbors who refuse to turn their backs on each other. And PATRIOTIC for the country we know is the greatest in human history. We love America enough to fight for it – and we’re not giving up.

They’re not just thugs; they’re incompetent lying thugs. Even more evidence this plan is half-baked, dangerous, and unconstitutional. We’re not giving up this fight — now is the time to get even louder and get ICE out of Chester for good. www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

Rev. Jesse Jackson was an unstoppable force in the fight for civil rights, whose commitment to Liberty & Justice for all represented the very best of our country. May his memory forever remind us what we can accomplish when we Keep Hope Alive.

$38,300,000,000 of your tax dollars. Not for healthcare. Not for education. Not for small businesses. But for mass-detention camps. It’s flat out UNAMERICAN. Nobody can sit on the sidelines — it will take all of us fighting back together to stop this.

Secretary Noem and ICE think they can bring their terror campaign to our community. But the Hudson Valley has been clear: there will be NO ICE facility in Chester. This fight isn’t over – and we’re not giving up. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/hudson-v...

This may feel in the weeds — it’s really important.  The biggest defense contractors take hundreds of billions of YOUR money & reward themselves with huge stock buybacks.  You don’t have healthcare; their CEOs get multiple yachts.  We need a FULL AUDIT.
