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.

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?

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 22/03/2026
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.

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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 12/03/2026
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

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?

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
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.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With the dangerous, unlawful and un-American overreach by ICE, it’s time to take an even stronger stand ↓

Our message to Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and ICE is simple. Stay the f*** out of the Hudson Valley.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
ICE is trying to build a mass-detention facility in my district. So I called them out. This was their (outrageous!) response ↓ The reason there’s “unprecedented opposition” is because they’re murdering people in the streets. We will not relent. We’re only gonna get louder.

Dangerous conditions are expected through the evening — please continue to stay off the roads & exercise extreme caution if you must travel. Thank you to all our first responders & road crews for your hard work keeping us safe in this storm.

With dangerously cold weather in the forecast for the Hudson Valley, please check on neighbors who may be at risk and spread the word about local warming centers⬇️

Our community has a clear message for ICE, Kristi Noem, & Stephen Miller: Stay the hell out of the Hudson Valley.

Donald Trump is a lame duck President desperately clinging to relevance by sending our most precious resources – our troops & hard-earned tax dollars – overseas.  All to distract from his disastrously harmful domestic agenda.  It would be pathetic if it weren’t so dangerous.

"Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve." -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thank you to the Southern Dutchess Coalition for bringing us together in Beacon, as our exceptional Hudson Valley community works to serve each other every single day.

Dr. King’s teachings centered on radical love for our fellow man, on raising each other up to create community & a more just world. I was honored to spend today with communities across the Hudson Valley, including in Beacon, as we keep fighting for freedom & justice for all 🇺🇲

A snowy MLK weekend continues here in the Hudson Valley! Spent today thanking our dedicated DPW crews & first responders for their tireless work over the last 48hrs to keep our roads plowed & community safe 🙏 Thanks to Doughnut Dolly in Poughkeepsie for the delicious donuts!

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
MLK's legacy is rooted in deep service to our communities. With snow piling up across the Hudson Valley, make sure to ask your neighbors if they need a hand shoveling out the driveway. Thanks to my friend, New Paltz Supervisor Tim Rogers, for joining!

The Hudson Valley is fighting back on the side of justice, accountability, and humanity. Say NO to ICE setting up a mass detention facility in our community. Make your voice heard today.

Judy used to pay a $0 deductible. Now she's on the hook for $1,000. "I should be able to manage it financially," she told me. "As long as I don’t get sick.” Meanwhile, Trump gave record-breaking tax cuts to the 0.1%. Ask every public servant: who's side are you on?

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 13/01/2026
Lockheed Martin should be apologizing to the taxpayer, not bragging to the Secretary of Defense. For $2 TRILLION ($5700 per American!!), we could’ve delivered affordable healthcare. Instead we got a plane that can’t even fly half the time.

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 13/01/2026
Our Hudson Valley community showed up in force with a clear message: We won’t stand for Trump’s plans for a mass detention camp in our own backyard. In Chester & beyond, we’ll keep raising our voices, LOUDLY, for justice, accountability, and humanity.
0443
Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
Always ask yourself: who profits? No surprise that in the case of mass detention camps, it’s one of Trump’s billionaire buddies. It's shameful, un-American, and the exact opposite of everything our community stands for. We’ll keep pushing back with everything we’ve got.
