Jim Kapsiak dedicated his life to lifting others up – whether in the classroom, on the court, or in our community. He led with heart, with faith, and with purpose. A teacher, mentor, coach, deacon, father, and friend – Jim’s legacy is woven into the fabric of Western New York. May he rest in peace.

Our veterans kept their promise to this country and we have a responsibility to keep ours to them. Slashing 30,000 VA jobs is not reform, it’s a dereliction of duty. I’ll keep fighting to protect the care our heroes have earned and deserve.

The cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show just days after speaking out on Paramount's $16 million settlement with Donald Trump raises serious questions — was this a business decision, or a political one? Americans deserve transparency, not corporate censorship. www.npr.org/2025/07/17/n...

CBS will end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' next year

Colbert confirmed the cancellation during a show taping on Thursday. CBS said the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night."

The House just passed the Big Ugly Bill – and I voted NO. This catastrophic legislation kicks 17 million Americans off their health insurance, rips food off families’ tables, and adds trillions to the national debt, all to give billionaires another tax break.

Trump's Big, Beautiful, Betrayal directly impacts veterans and their families-- from cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, to its inevitable cost-of-living increase. Republicans are not helping Americans with this bill, and they certainly are not helping our nation's veterans.
