On Friday, ICE detained a Maine father on his way to visit his deaf son at school. This breaks my heart. Susan Collins gave ICE a blank check. Families like this one are paying the price. Senator, spare us your “concern.” www.sunjournal.com/2026/10/13/s...

Proud to stand with @1199seiu.org yesterday and every day in the fight for NY-17. I am grateful for the labor power we have behind our campaign, fighting for lower healthcare costs and the fight for the American dream to be real for every person in this country.

World Mental Health Day is a reminder that we must treat mental health as a critical pillar of healthcare that everyone can access and afford. Lives depend on it. As a veteran, I know how important this is to so many veterans struggling with PTSD and other mental health challenges

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Working families here in the Hudson Valley are struggling to make ends meet, and Mike Lawler is only making it harder by voting with Trump 100% of the time to raise costs. Whether it’s his eight votes for the reckless tariffs, six votes for the war with Iran, or deciding vote on “Big Ugly Bill,”

Mike Lawler wants us to believe he’s fighting for us, but if you follow the money you’ll see who he’s really in it for. Mike votes with Trump 100% of the time — even when it harms all of us — because he’s helping his corporate and billionaire backers, who prop him up as their political puppet.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

President Trump launched his war against Iran, sending gas prices soaring and giving Big Oil sky-high profits. Our new report details how Trump himself profited from this spike in gas prices – his own oil and gas stocks have gone up by $15 million so far this year.

This is absolutely devastating and infuriating. ICE officers in an unmarked car shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father of three, on his way to work. Then the smear machine immediately kicked in. Read the words of his son, and demand accountability: www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
washingtonpost.com
He saw a video of a Mexican man shot by ICE. It was his father.
The eldest child of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo said his father was “a family man” who was likely frightened by the unmarked vehicles following him.
