This is #NY17 and its immediate surroundings. It is the ONLY toss-up seat in this area...and it needs help. EVERY district it borders in NY, CT and NJ is Safe 🔵. So I'm asking... If you (or anyone you know) lives in-or-near this area (or even NYC) PLEASE come out to volunteer for Cait Conley.

The world might look very different right now if Judge Boasberg had been able to hold contempt proceedings in 2025 & the administration had been held accountable. Instead, emboldened by his success, Trump continues to treat the courts like a game to be played. joycevance.substack.com/p/consequenc...

Last Thursday, the White House, almost as soon as Judge Kelly entered his order forcing the administration to restore access to CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, began searching for play in the joints.

Secretary Mullin: "How many did the governor of New Jersey say voted in their elections illegally, wasn't it over 30,000?" The real number? "Fewer than 400."
A "serious software error" at New Jersey's department of motor vehicles led to around 6,600 non-US citizens being registered to vote, with "fewer than 400" of them wrongly casting ballots, the state's governor said.

"I am appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen," Governor Mikie Sherrill said in a statement on Tuesday.
