This is not normal. Murdering a person expressing their first amendment rights is a travesty and has no place in America. Let’s be clear anyone who breaks the law must be held accountable, including LE officers. That won’t happen if DHS handles this investigation.

Happy Veterans Day. Today, and everyday, we honor our veterans for safeguarding our nation and preserving the liberties that define our country. Their example reminds us of the importance of service, leadership, and resilience.

Thank Lawler - Are you without food assistance today? Thank Mike Lawler Are your kids hungry? Thank Mike Lawler Are you unsure of how to feed your family? Thank Mike Lawler The Republican shutdown is hurting families in the Hudson Valley. Mike - do your job. Hudson Valley families deserve better.

Last year the FBI caught Trump's border czar taking a $50K bribe. This year, they closed the case and even let him keep the money. Trump's enemies get indicted on BS charges, while his allies get away with corruption on a massive scale - because cowards like Mike Lawler let it happen.

Yesterday I got to tour Open Door Care in Ossining, which serves hundreds of patients each day, many of whom rely on Medicaid. The cuts Mike Lawler voted for this year are a direct threat to community health centers like Open Door that keep our families and neighbors healthy.

Trump, Bondi and Patel keep escalating their campaign of revenge and firing anyone who won't go along. Their next move: prosecuting FBI agents for doing their jobs investigating Russian interference back in 2016. Where does it end?

Had a great weekend helping get out the vote for Democrats up and down the ticket in Croton and New Castle!

First Comey, now Tish James indicted by Trump's lackey lawyer on charges that real prosecutors said were BS. Trump's revenge campaign isn't just about punishing his enemies, it's ramping up the threat to OUR First Amendment right to criticize him and hold our leaders accountable.

25% of FBI agents pulled off counterterrorism, drug trafficking, cybercrime, counterintelligence and other complex investigations. Trump and his lackeys are making us all less safe every single day.

I proudly displayed a Pride flag on my desk every day until I left the FBI. Even after Kash took over and I was warned to take it down. This is exactly what we feared would happen. Purging gay people for being open about who we are. Calling our free speech “inappropriate.” 
We have to stop them.

Wishing an easy and meaningful fast to everyone observing Yom Kippur in the Hudson Valley and beyond. G'mar Chatima Tovah.

I've witnessed Trump's attack on the rule of law from the inside and I'm running for Congress because the future of our country is at stake. But I need you to join me and chip in to this campaign before the deadline at midnight tomorrow: secure.actblue.com/donate/fl-su...

Mike Lawler and his allies are about to shut down the government rather than take action to keep your insurance premiums from skyrocketing. New Yorkers can't afford to kick this can down the road, but Lawler would rather play political games than help us avoid soaring costs.

Donald Trump orders an indictment and DOJ delivers. Damn the facts, just punish his enemies. This is the path to authoritarianism. This is why I had to leave the FBI and speak out about what I saw. We must hold Trump accountable for weaponizing our justice system. abcnews.go.com/US/former-fb...

I'm proud to announce that I've taken @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's Unrig Washington pledge to restore accountability to our government by: 1) Banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks. No one should be walking out of Congress a multimillionaire by trading on inside information.

Really enjoyed sitting down with Democratic voters and candidates in Kent last night to answer their questions and share our plan to beat Mike Lawler in 2026!

On September 30th, I'll be participating in a virtual conversation with my friend, former FBI colleague, and fellow Congressional candidate @philandrew-il9.bsky.social. We'll be joined by special guest, Mike Feinberg, who recently left the FBI after denouncing the politicization at the Bureau.

Wishing L'Shanah Tovah to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May this New Year bring sweetness, peace, and happiness to all who observe.

Had a great time this weekend making the rounds at Celebrate Somers, then visiting with Peekskill mayor Vivian McKenzie and city council candidates Beverley Chang and Charlie DiGruccio!

Donald Trump is firing a US Attorney who *he appointed* because he refused to make up false criminal charges to prosecute his enemies. It's a dire threat to the rule of law.

Trump and his stooges at the FCC are shamelessly trying to rip away our freedom of speech because it's the most important tool we have in America to hold our government accountable. But I refuse to stop speaking out.

24 years after the 9/11 attacks, New York remains the #1 target for terrorism. I'm disturbed that New York is being singled out for cuts to counterterrorism funding while FBI agents trained to keep us safe from terror threats are reassigned for political stunts.

At today's powerful memorial commemorating the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we came together to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks or from related illnesses, and the heroic firefighters and police officers who rushed in to save lives. We will never forget.

Donald Trump's chaotic tariffs and big ugly billionaire giveaways are crushing the job market while sending the cost of housing, groceries and everyday goods through the roof.

From last night in Croton to last week in Peekskill it's been great to share my story, priorities, and plan to beat Mike Lawler with Democrats working hard to win races across NY-17 this year and next.

Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate America's workers and the labor movement's hard-won victories - from fair wages to safer workplaces to weekends and 8-hour workdays. As the son of two proud union members, I'll always stand with the working people of the Hudson Valley.

I'm horrified by the mass shooting in Minneapolis targeting children in their first week back in school. Mayor Frey is right - thoughts and prayers from our leaders don't cut it. We need real action to stop gun violence and protect our kids from this terror.

In this perilous moment, it's critical to hold our communities close and work together to speak out and push back against the harm Trump and Lawler are doing. I was glad to share my story and message last night in Katonah with a wonderful group of people who are doing just that.

Mike Lawler is towing Trump's line again, saying he wants masked, badgeless agents and soldiers armed with long guns on the streets of New York City. I've worked in countries where this happens, and it's not about keeping people safe, it's about keeping them under control.

Yesterday I joined a community forum in New City with health and homecare providers and patient advocates to hear about their critical work and the impact that Medicaid cuts will have on those they serve.

Mike Lawler just put out an ad saying he's protecting Medicaid. It's a total lie. Here's the truth.

I couldn't be prouder to have the support and endorsement of @abledemspac.bsky.social in my campaign to flip NY-17. I'm grateful for the trust placed in me to defend the basic rights of people with disabilities at a moment when they are under extreme threat.

Went to Croton this afternoon to hear directly from workers and @aflcio.org about the harm Mike Lawler's votes are doing to our health care, jobs and economic security. I'm proud to be on the side of working people today and every day. #BetterInAUnion

Proud to stand with @momsdemand.bsky.social in demanding Mike Lawler oppose HR 38, which would force New York to recognize concealed carry permits from states that let people convicted of violent crimes carry guns. Keep our families, neighborhoods, and police officers safe and stop this bill.

Great to be in Peekskill to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Social Security at today's Protect our Checks rally. In Congress I will always protect these earned benefits for today's retirees and future generations.

Mike Lawler's vote on the Big Ugly Bill blew up the deficit by $3 trillion, which puts Social Security directly in the crosshairs. The same bill the Trump admin now calls a "backdoor" to privatization. He's right that Social Security is a sacred promise - but he has no intention of keeping it.

Proud to stand in solidarity with Rockland Pulmonary workers and @1199seiu.org who are fighting for a fair contract with the good pay and benefits they deserve for keeping our community healthy.

In the last day we've seen: ➡️ a J6 rioter, since hired by DOJ, on video calling for killing police ➡️ an FBI leader fired for protecting J6 investigators like me ➡️ the FBI hunting down TX legislators trying to stop gerrymandering This is the five-alarm fire I've warned about.

Thank you to all of the Putnam and Dutchess County voters who came to last night's candidate forum. It was great to hear directly from so many committed people and share my story, my priorities and what drives me forward to beat Lawler and flip NY-17.

It was great to be in Yorktown last night knocking doors and talking to voters with the awesome Jann Mirchandani! I'm proud to support Jann's campaign for Yorktown Supervisor and to be working through Election Day to help our 2025 candidates win races across NY-17.

Trump’s EPA wants to repeal rules that fight climate change. This won’t just put us at greater risk from pollution and extreme weather, it’ll raise our gas prices too. Trump and Lawler don’t care about making your life affordable - their only priority is giving away the store to fossil fuel donors.

Today we saw proof that Trump's policies are pummeling the economy, and he responds by firing people for not cooking the books. Piling chaos on chaos, killing jobs and making life more expensive, and telling us everything is fine. And Lawler doesn't have a word to say about it.

L: April R: Now When new parents go to buy diapers, when kids need back-to-school clothes, and on every trip to the grocery store: Mike Lawler’s cowardly refusal to stand up to Trump on *anything* is why families are paying more for goods they cannot do without.

Don't take it from me, take it from the Trump Administration: Mike Lawler voted for privatizing Social Security.

60 years ago today Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law. Those aren’t just programs - they’re a sacred promise to all Americans that quality affordable health care is for everyone, not just the wealthy few. It is unforgivable that Mike Lawler voted to break that promise.

Dictators always attack the vulnerable and Trump is no different. His assault on civil rights, healthcare, and education for disabled people is jaw-dropping. We need a congressman who will fight back to ensure disabled people can not only survive but thrive. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

I’m heartbroken over the murder of four New Yorkers last night, including a brave NYPD officer. I’m grateful for his courage and the first responders who rushed to the scene save lives. There is far more we must do to halt the gun violence epidemic and keep weapons of war off our streets.

Last March 1000 FBI personnel were pulled out of work fighting violent crime, narcotics and more to flag any Epstein files mentioning Trump. This is exactly why I had to speak out. Every day Trump makes us less safe by abusing government to protect himself and his elite friends.

Today, Mike Lawler is checking out of Congress for six weeks to avoid making the Epstein files public. He won't stand up for transparency, because he's scared of Donald Trump. It's time to move on from Mike Lawler.

After falling in line to gut affordable health care, Mike Lawler once again delivers for Trump by chickening out of his run for governor. There’s nothing that Mike Lawler won’t sacrifice to please Donald Trump. NY-17 needs a congressman, not a coward.
