One week out, and this is where “I’ll do it later” starts costing people. If somebody in your family keeps saying they’ll get around to it, call them. If your coworker just moved and has been meaning to update everything, remind them.

Republicans blatantly touting Donald Trump's support of Mike Lawler...and Mike Lawler's support of Donald Trump. Which is no surprise when you consider that Lawler has voted with Trump 100% of the time. They are one and the same, folks. #NY17

Instead of letting the SALT deduction cap expire at the end of 2025, Mike Lawler voted to make it a permanent tax on working families to fund tax breaks for billionaires. In 2030, it will return to $10,000, rather than disappearing for good.

In Congress, Mike Lawler has spent his career voting against working families in #NY17, while @caitfornewyork.bsky.social has built a career on service, courage, and putting others before herself. That’s exactly the kind of bold leadership Hudson Valley families need in Congress.

Tonight, Mike Lawler tried to erase the harm he’s caused you by voting with Donald Trump 100% of the time. Tariffs, the Iran War, tax breaks for data centers — his votes have jacked up costs on everything here in the Hudson Valley. You deserve better. You deserve a patriot, not a puppet.

When it comes to data centers, Mike Lawler and I could not be more different. I support a data center moratorium; Mike opposes one. I support giving local communities the authority to put guardrails on data centers; Mike voted to ban local control over data centers.

DHS used a hastily-built "citizenship verification tool" to declare that over 14,000 Nevada voters are not citizens. Later, they revised that down to 185. This week, Nevada announced that they had contacted every person flagged by DHS and proved that they are ALL citizens. That's a 100% error rate.
