democrats, literally the only thing you should be talking about for the next 3 days is donald trump lying about being a 9/11 hero. i dont care if the question is about the economy or gas prices or about how sexually attractive you are, you steer that answer to trump lying about being a 9/11 hero

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!
Can someone in the media ask Mike Lawler why he’s not only campaigning, but *celebrating his 40th birthday,* with a MAGA stooge who appears in the Epstein files over a hundred times?

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

hi so

this man cannot be allowed to be in congress any longer
BASH: It sounds like you're saying you're not going to return Max Miller's donations because you believe him

LAWLER: 😮 Look, this is a private family matter. Max has also made allegations against his ex-wife. Nothing has been corroborated here. Do you have information that proves the allegations?

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.

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?

May Day in Syracuse. Showing up, standing together, and fighting for a world where working people actually have power. Workers over billionaires. Always.

So great to see @mobreezy213.bsky.social and stand in solidarity ✊

We’re just getting started.

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:
Buffalo activists accuse Governor Hochul of choosing the rich over working families
John Washington, training organizer with the Buffalo Tenant Union Federation, was also among the speakers.

Donald Trump raised gas prices.
March 17, 2026 at 8:15 PM
As gas prices, rent, and food costs skyrocket. Millionaires and Billionaires get richer and richer.

Meanwhile, we have started yet another endless, regime change war to fuel the military industrial complex.

Trump has failed us over and over again.

ICE doesn’t keep us safe. It terrorizes everyday Americans and is now actively killing us. Abolish ICE, pass New York for All, and let’s build an immigration system rooted in dignity, due process, and humanity.

We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric as many, including the Vice President call the victim a domestic terrorist.

Tom Homan is a propagandist and a liar.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

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.
January 4, 2026 at 3:46 AM
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.

I continue to be so confused as to why Syracuse does not play Sadiq White and Donnie Freeman together.

You have two wings built for today’s game perfectly yet you play them separately.

That makes no sense.

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.
The one percent make for good campaign villains, but New York City can’t thrive without them—and Zohran Mamdani's plan to raise taxes on the rich could wind up dulling his city's competitive advantage, Elias Wachtel argues:
Mamdani’s Plans Rely on New York’s Wealthiest
