Trump is trying to delegitimize the election process and, in turn, silence your voice. The whims of one man will not decide our future. We will ensure every eligible American's voice is heard at the ballot box.

Like many New Yorkers, I was watching the Bills game Sunday when a Donald Trump ad came across the screen. I was shocked to see the disclaimer: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” Your tax dollars are not his personal campaign funds. This is unacceptable and I’m looking into it. Read more:

Donald Trump is banning news networks from the White House because he doesn't like what they have to say. He is trampling on the Constitution. The courts are pushing back, and the American people will too.

Republicans have failed to act when it comes to AI safety regulations. Instead of making it a priority, House Republicans have adjourned the House. The American people deserve better.

Trump’s policies have hurt our economy. Now, the Federal Reserve has been forced to raise interest rates. We must end his senseless, unauthorized war in Iran and work to make life more affordable for working families.

Trump chose to spend at least $38 billion on the war in Iran, money that could have been spent on healthcare and housing here at home. Read more: www.cbo.gov/system/files/2026-09/62…

Public trust in government is crucial to the health of our democracy. That is why Americans must have every opportunity to cast a ballot this and every election season.

Donald Trump is once again rolling out the red carpet for his strongmen friends while American families struggle. It's a pattern and everyday Americans are paying the price—for a costly war with Iran, reckless tariffs, and an economy that’s making it harder for families to get ahead.

President Trump promised to bring down the cost of living. Instead, his affordability crisis has cost American families over $4,200 more in everyday essentials since Trump took office, according to @jecdems.bsky.social data. The American people deserve better.

America leads the world in medical research because scientists, not politicians, decide which research has the most promise. Putting NIH funding in the hands of political appointees should alarm all of us.

Playoff baseball is back in Rochester! I couldn't be more excited for our Rochester Red Wings. For the first time in 13 years, the Wings are headed to the postseason. This is a special moment for a team that means so much to Rochester and generations of fans across our community.

ICE shot and wounded another person today, this time in Austin. Their chaos and cruelty are unacceptable. Americans should not have to fear their own government. The public deserves answers and accountability. bit.ly/4xyQNBu

This ruling is a victory for free speech and another reminder of how far ICE has strayed from its mission. Federal agents tracked down a Rochester resident and threatened him over protected political speech. That is unacceptable, and it has no place in America. bit.ly/4cRede2
