Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had wanted the Supreme Court to rule more aggressively in his favor he should have paid for the justices’ vacations like a normal person.

While we aren't running in a special election, we are not going anywhere. Next November, we are going to defeat Elise Stefanik, and deliver real leadership to New York. We cannot do it alone. Can you chip in to help today? secure.actblue.com/donate/gende...

We love facts, like Rep Don Bacon when he admitted that voter fraud is NOT a problem in Nebraska. On the left (Brennan Center) and the right (CATO Institute), we agree this is a waste of time. Next door in Kansas, a bill like this nuked 22k real voters. But Bacon balked and voted for The SAVE Act.

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

Krasner: To be honest with you, I almost hope he drops $20 million—because that’s $20 million less he’ll have, and it might even improve my margin. That’s what seemed to happen in Wisconsin.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.
