Veteran and concerned citizen. The constitutional crisis continues. Trump wants to silence, imprison, even kill opposition. He is a dictator. There is no negotiation with, or quarter for, fascists and their supporters. We must act now or we are doomed.

The rot goes way deeper than Trump. This type of reasoning will get us back to something more palatable than Trump, but that ultimately gave a pathway to governmental dominance. We need to be hopeful about the future. Please push for progressive policies. We need accountability.

I understand blaming Trump/Vance for the housing crisis is a strategy (and they certainly have allowed it to get worse), but framing it like everything gets solved once they are gone makes me unenthusiastic about our future. We need true accountability.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Inciting a coup against your own country is the very definition of TREASON, full stop. There should be a law that prevents traitors from running for office.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Very disappointed in your lack of meaningful opposition to Trump. I’m a NYS voter and I can’t wait to vote against you in the primary if you keep slacking. I’m so happy the tide is turning to more progressive candidates, so you might want to start packing up your things.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

Nobody believes anything the DoJ says anymore. Reporting on their statements outside of the hypocrisy is pointless. It’s abundantly clear that the DoJ doesn’t pursue justice or safety. It’s only the pathetic strong-arm of their dear leader. Nothing to do with Justice at all.

It was nice until you had to say “I was the first Senator to march.” How do you not realize this cheapens the sentiment? You only care about appearing to care. Your voters (myself included) have known this for a while now. Step down already! You’ve failed to take adequate action against Trump.

Let’s not kid ourselves. The ultimate goal here is for the Pegulas to become obscenely rich. Oh no wait - they already are! The goal is for them to become MORE rich. Sure - they’d love a SB win, but it’s really all about the money. I wish you wouldn’t pretend otherwise.

Corporate welfare for billionaires. Western New Yorkers can’t even get an affordable single game ticket, and you have to be rich (or willing to go into debt) to be season ticket holders. Stop glamorizing the Pegulas’ theft of your constituents.

If the amount and type of coverage has anything to do with how bad of a flub it is, it will NOT be the worst flub. Media probably really won’t cover it, and if they do, they’ll gloss over it or explain it away. His party and most of his followers won’t care. Most others won’t hear or care.

Money. That’s all they care about. If they can still make money, they’ll do it. If they avoid Jim Crow states, it’s because they think it will lose them money, not because they disagree with the politics.
