What happened in the Oval Office today with Trump/Vance attacking Zelensky in the service of Putin is unlike anything we have ever seen. We do NOT have an American President at this point. Trump’s orders and decrees should be ignored by all. His loyalty is NOT to the USA.

The Trump Admin is slashing critical education funding—this time targeting the University at Buffalo's initiative to build a pipeline of teachers where our community needs them most. This is unacceptable. We must fight to keep our funding and protect our students. buffalonews.com/opinion/edit...

Back from meetings in Albany and it was agreed the federal Medicaid budget cuts will result in tens of thousands of NYers losing their healthcare or NYS, and possibly counties, left to pick up a multi-billion shortfall that would require enormous tax increases or massive cuts in other services. 1/2

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

President Trump and Elon Musk are running a sham operation to slash our federal workforce, undermine public services, profit off taxpayers, and hand out trillions in tax cuts for the rich. Hardworking Western New Yorkers see it for what it is—and I’m calling it out.

Last night House Republicans passed a bill that cuts Medicaid & food assistance for working families—just to hand the ultra-wealthy $1.1 TRILLION in tax cuts. Prioritizing billionaires over struggling families is disgraceful.

It’s our job as educators to foster opportunity, dignity and engagement. This vague and clearly unconstitutional memo is a grave attack on students, our profession and knowledge itself. That is why we are suing. www.aft.org/press-releas... www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

WNY’s economy relies on our strong relationship with Canada – one we cannot afford to destroy. A tariff on Canada is just another name for a tax on the American consumer. I’ve been meeting with Canadian leaders to salvage this relationship and protect your hard-earned money.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Corporate media barely mentions this but Trump has the lowest approval rating of any second term President one month into his term since polling began. Plus Those who STRONGLY disapprove Trump far outnumber who approve. Don't fall for corporate media BS that Trump has a "mandate" or is popular.
