.@EliseStefanik is a paper tiger. She thought selling her soul and playing MAGA Princess would get her a job in the White House.  NY isn’t for sellouts & we are no one's consolation prize.  She’s a weak and sad excuse for a Congresswoman who will NEVER be Governor.
Folks work really damn hard. We’re not asking for much, besides watching the games WE ALREADY PAY FOR. But mega-corporations like Google and Disney are just gonna keep screwing us over if we don’t do something about it. It’s time for Congress to stand up for the fans.
Talked to @PatRyanUC about the enshittification of sports TV and how Congress could intervene in the corporate pissing matches that are leading to blackouts. Plus an update on Dem midterm recruiting & I offer a raincloud take on the election results piped.video/Z0UbkNxx_LU?si=-7rI…
We sent a resounding message on Election Day 2025, with 72% of Patriot PAC candidates winning.  It's not just "anti-Trump." Positivity and Patriotism inspire people with something to vote FOR.   Mark my words: Election Day 2026 is going to be even bigger.

My point is this: It’s not just the national races where we’re seeing the Patriotic Majority of this country stand up and vote for change.  It’s across the map, often in places where Democrats have lost ground.  And it's Patriot PAC candidates leading the way.

Just north, in Columbia County, Jackie Salvatore became the first woman of color in NY HISTORY to be elected County Sheriff.  On Long Island, Uniondale Fire Department Captain Olena Nicks won a critical race for Nassau County Legislature.  Remember those names. Trust me.

In Ulster, my home county, we elected the FIRST-EVER Dem supermajority in the Legislature, with Patriot PAC candidates like firefighter Bill Murray leading the way.  That's a BFD, especially when it comes to building more desperately needed housing and bringing down costs.

Amherst NY is one of the biggest towns in the state, with a population of over 130K. Air National Guard Major Shawn Lavin is a true Patriot – and his 6-point victory in his race for Town Supervisor is a formula that can be replicated across NY.

Trump won Orange County NY all three times he ran.  Many people had written off any chance of Dems winning here.  On Tuesday, we flipped at least 4 seats in the County Legislature, including an incredibly impressive win by Coast Guard veteran Matt Fascaldi.

Democrats flipped the Dutchess County Legislature blue for the first time in decades + won two major county-wide elections by double digits.  That includes HUGE wins by Patriot PAC candidates at every level.  This is a national bellwether and Dems absolutely cleaned up.

There were a ton of headlines yesterday on NJ, VA, and NYC. For good reason – those were really important victories! But what we accomplished down-ballot is crucial as well.  Here's 6 races in NY that deserve more attention – and show us where things are heading in 2026. 🧵

A year ago, Trump promised to bring down costs & make life easier for hardworking Americans. He lied.  Patriots like @MikieSherrill and @SpanbergerForVA aren’t here to play games.  They’re here to GET SHIT DONE – let's get them across the finish line!
I launched Patriot PAC because veterans, teachers, & first responders are the embodiment of selfless service to our great country.  They fight FOR THE PEOPLE. Get out there and elect Patriots across NY today 🇺🇸
Trillions in tax breaks for the 0.1% Billions in bailouts for Argentina.  But when hard-working Americans need a little help to afford groceries, Trump can’t find the money?!?
Trump administration says it will provide only partial food stamp benefits for November after tapping into the program's contingency fund cnn.it/436jERu
Pissed you can’t watch Monday Night Football? Worried about missing college football Saturday? Call your Congressperson and tell them to support my “Stop Sports Blackouts Act.” We have legislation to stop this BS and put power back with the FANS!

My friend @iamwesmoore and I had a simple message in Manassas tonight: You wanna get stuff done, you call @SpanbergerforVA. Veterans are fired up to elect her the next Governor of Virginia!
Some very serious candy sorting happening here this morning…Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Trump is literally willing to break the law to make veterans, kids, and seniors go hungry. It’s a complete and total betrayal of the American people.
USDA Sec Rollins will not commit to releasing SNAP funds if ordered to do so by Boston judge overseeing case @elliskkim asks if she will agree to release funds if ordered to do so by Boston judge. Rollins: “We're looking at all the options.”
In the Army, we pledge to leave no one behind. Trump is CHOOSING to leave 42 million Americans behind – letting kids, veterans, and seniors go hungry. I’m asking every American to demand the President release SNAP funding immediately.
Trump keeps insisting he can deploy US troops against US citizens in American cities. Every freedom-loving Patriot knows this is both wrong and illegal. Each time he spews this BS, we need to call it out – LOUDLY – for what it is: unconstitutional and un-American.
Trump: If I want to enact a certain act.. I’d be allowed to do that, you understand that — the courts wouldn’t get involved, nobody would get involved. And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines — I could send anybody I wanted.

This election is not just about 2025. It is a bellwether for what kind of leadership our communities and our country will choose moving forward. In Peekskill yesterday, Congressman Pat Ryan and I talked about what is at stake. And how now more than ever, we need steady, stable, and civil leadership that puts people over politics. The chaos in Washington cannot define who we are here in Westchester. So, Vote Row A all the way. From the top of the ticket to your local races, we need leaders ready to deliver. Early Voting is open across Westchester. You can vote now through November 2 or on Election Day, November 4. Make your plan to vote and help us finish strong.
