As we witness rampant corporate greed from utility monopolies that provide service that is subpar, if not outright terrible, while continually raising our rates, we must nationalize utilities across the United States.

Failed Congressman Marc Molinaro helps host a birthday party for future failed Congressman Mike Lawler, and the special guest is prominent Epstein Files appearer Howard Lutnick. Excited to see you again, Marc! Maybe Lawler will run for Assembly and resume his former position after he loses, too!

Here's a thought: Giving kids safe 'third spaces'—libraries, community centers, and sports leagues—prevents crime better than harsh punishments ever could.

We did it! Tonight’s wins belong to the organizers, volunteers, members, and neighbors who knocked on doors, made calls, and refused to accept that our politics must be dominated by wealthy donors and special interests.

Proud to support @bojak4assembly.bsky.social and it was great to see my good friend Austin Morgan, the Field Coordinator for the AFL-CIO in Western New York. Two kids from Wyoming County working to elect a progressive candidate who will fight for the working class in AD-149. Let’s do this!

Donald Trump is New York today to rally with Rep. Mike Lawler, one of the most vulnerable House Republicans. We're outside the event with a mighty group of protestors. "Mike Lawler grow a spine, you're working on the people's time!"

"Mike Lawler was the deciding vote for that big bag of BS Bill. that cut $900 billion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. It is not enough to just blame Donald Trump. We need to put it on all the people who enable this to happen. And that starts with Mike Lawler."

Yankees Luke Weaver allows 4 runs and gets pulled after facing 3. Mets Luke Weaver? Gets out of a bases loaded jam with no outs and has no runs scored. Can I change the channel?

Mike Lawler, the future former Congressman of NY-17 continues to make the same mistakes his good friend former Congressman Marc Molinaro made. Kiss the ring of Trump, cut essential services for those that are most vulnerable to fund objectives like the war with Iran, lose the election in November.

Working families showed up in Buffalo with a clear message: tax the rich, stop the cuts, fund our communities. Gov. Hochul MUST choose whose side she’s on. “Handing out massive tax breaks to billionaires like the Pegulas cannot continue to be the norm.” - @ravoroot.bsky.social From @wrvo.org:

The Iraq War cost the U.S. over two trillion dollars. Meanwhile, we continue to lack safe affordable housing, universal childcare, and universal healthcare. Trump is a neocon at heart just like Bush: tax cuts for billionaires, a bloated military-industrial complex, Americans last.

Ravo Root @ravoroot.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Regime change wars exist to feed the military-industrial complex, not help people. Trillions go to weapons and contractors while societies are destabilized. What’s happening in Venezuela is unconstitutional and my heart breaks for the Venezuelan people.

Another fear mongering article saying the rich cannot be taxed more because millionaire wealth only doubled instead of tripled. Anyone else sick of the corporate elite gaslighting the working class? It’s past time to elect Democrats who fight for everyday people, not millionaire growth rates.

New Yorkers deserve a Governor who will fight for us—who will push back on Trump, not cut deals with him, and make our state safer and more affordable for all of us. That’s why we’re proud to endorse Antonio Delgado @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor!

Happy Independence Day. I love this country. Not because it’s perfect, but because people have always fought to make it better. Patriotism means closing the gap between our ideals and our reality. That means no kings. No billionaires in charge. No one above the people. Here’s to the work. 🇺🇸

Mike Lawler looked into the camera and lied directly to your face. Mike Lawler is nothing more than just another corporate politician that says anything to get elected then stabs us in the back when he goes to vote in Washington.

Regime change wars have never worked. They destabilize entire regions, cost countless lives, and serve only to enrich billionaire defense contractors. While the military-industrial complex thrives, everyday people, both here and abroad, pay the price in blood, suffering, and lost futures.
