Republicans just dropped $1.5M in fake "progressive" attack ads in the NY-17 Democratic primary. NY-17 Democratic voters: you get to pick your nominee. Not MAGA PACs. Vote Tuesday. jewishinsider.com/2026/06/ny-1...

A PAC called "Progressive Champions" is running $1.5M in attack ads in the NY-17 Dem primary. It has a bare-bones website, no staff, opened 5 weeks ago, and echoes MAGA Mike Lawler's messaging. Weird. bluewaterhealthyliving.com/news/nationa...

Putting an expiration date on all potholes. As a town councilman, this is the sexy stuff I get asked about all the time. midhudsonnews.com/2026/06/12/s...

"Moderate Republican" remains the funniest phrase in the English language.

Sorry, Bluey

@senatorharckham and Assemblyman Slater just announced a historic increase in CHIPS road funding, the second year in a row with a $50M boost. Every pothole in SD40 has a timeline now. As a Town Board Member, the roads are the thing I get emailed about THE MOST. Sexy, I know.

Love this. Yonkers naming a street after DMX: www.instagram.com/p/DZgCnXgn2NK/ "And then there was X" is one of the CDs I had as a kid my parents didnt know about. 😬

Wow you couldn’t trust him no way go figure

Banger of an ad from @lincolnproject.us. Been a minute. www.instagram.com/reel/DZsIlOr...

Trump's agenda would cut Social Security by 20% within six years. @SenGillibrand introduced legislation to extend its solvency for 75 years by making the wealthiest pay their fair share of payroll taxes. Which one do you think Republican Mike Lawler supported?

s/o @SenGillibrand who unlocked $168M in long-delayed FEMA grants for NY: disaster relief for Tropical Storm Fred, Hurricane Ida, and COVID. Communities like ours have been waiting for this money for years. www.gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/r...

The US grid is in better shape this summer than expected. Not because of aging coal plants that Trump forced to stay open, or because of Nuclear plants Lawler wants to spend millions re-opening. Because of solar and batteries. @senatorharckham has been saying this for 3 years.

I, for one, am shocked the ballroom is costing $200m more than Trump originally projected. ...is it more, or less, than he's now going to be paying Iran?

One Westchester driver's license plate was scanned 1,134 times between 2023 and 2026. She's a teacher and a mom. Allegedly, the county shared her data with ICE without legislative authorization. No oversight. No transparency. That's not public safety. That's big brother.

HAHAHAHA he got booed at his own birthday party what a loser.

soooo all that, and Iran's nuclear program still intact? So wtf was it for?

One to follow: 575 cameras. 1.6 billion license plate scans. Data shared with ICE & 50+ other agencies. All without ANY legislative authorization,and heavily concentrated in... you guessed it...minority neighborhoods Right here in Westchester? GTFOH

We passed a 25mph town-wide speed limit this week. Lot of red tape & meetings for what seemed like an easy change, but we got it done. And this is just Phase 1. Next steps: additional traffic calming measures for roads like Campfire & Douglas. We're making the town safer, one step at a time.

Transportation costs: up 7.1% Food: up 3.1% Housing: up 3.6% Gas: up 50% Meanwhile in NY17, Lawler stands next to Trump and calls these "normal fluctuations." 91% of Americans disagree. #Numbers usafacts.org/articles/how...

A judge just struck down Trump's $100,000 fee on H-1B visas — the pathway used by tech companies, hospitals, and universities to hire highly skilled workers. This President isn't jsut hateful, narcissistic, and petty. He's also incompetent. Can't even get bigotry right.

Shit this team is gonna make me believe huh?

As someone in tech: @SenGillibrand's bill banning AI from launching nuclear weapons seems like a gimme. Human commanders should probably remain in control of life-or-death decisions. Like, y'all saw Terminator, right? This should not need to be a law, but here we are.

The Travel With Dignity Act just passed — requiring adult changing tables in public spaces so people with disabilities can travel with basic dignity. Proud to see my reps @senatorharckham & @assemblymemberburdick getting things like this done midhudsonnews.com/2026/06/05/t...

The NY Assembly Speaker, a Democrat, in a Democratic supermajority, killed an environmental bill that 73% of voters support — for the third straight year — because of oil company lobbying. www.wastedive.com/news/new-yor...

This man’s sick as hell. We’d all be broke trying to get this level of medical coverage. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"solar is cheaper than gas, nuclear, or coal, and @senatorharckham.bsky.social has 12 bills to prove it."

Well i don't love this. The NY plastics bill died for a 3rd year in a row. Year 1: Senate passed it. Assembly: no vote. Year 2: Senate passed it. Assembly: no vote. Year 3: Senate passed it. Assembly: no vote. Dems run the Assembly, fyi

NY teachers gave the school cellphone ban a "ringing endorsement" after year one. Slid Dad Joke stuff here by the Post. Shocking, right? Not having a phone in school helps students focus & learn. Go figure. nypost.com/2026/05/31/u...

Messes up traffic, kills the watch parties, takes a nap, and the Knicks lose. The whole thing is a metaphor. What a weak loser.

How many plagues G gotta send before the evangelicals realize it’s all Ts Sodom and Gomorrah act?

This is what universal pre-k actually looks like. Not just a talking point. AND WOW AMAZING THE WHOLE CITY DIDN'T GO BROKE, turns out that was just a BS talking point. 2,000 free childcare seats for NYC 2-year-olds s/o @mayor.nyc.gov and @governor.ny.gov.

Trump paid a French oil company $795 MILLION in your tax dollars to abandon offshore wind that would have powered 700,000 NY homes. In exchange: the company promised to invest in oil and gas. s/o @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for actually doing SOMETHING to shut this shit down.

Weak

The House voted to block Trump from ordering more Iran strikes *with actual Republicans crossing over.* Not ours. #Ny17 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Quick recap of NY's packaging bill: ✅ Passed the Senate ✅ 73% public support ✅ Supported by @senatorharckham for 3 years ❌ Speaker Heastie: "There's not enough votes" There were enough votes. He just didn't call the vote.

@senatorharckham & @assemblymemberburdick just secured $5 million in state funding for Ossining's water treatment plant. Clean water isn't a luxury. It's infrastructure.

The Pentagon hired a convicted January 6 rioter for a classified counterterrorism job. Trump also nominated a mortgage executive with zero intelligence experience as acting Director of National Intelligence. The best people. Tremendous people.

Gun store warning signs WC. We can't take their guns away, then we can do everything possible to keep people safer. VERY for this. "Prevention starts with awareness, and these visual warnings are meant to make serious hazards clear, immediate, and unforgettable." - @VedatGashi

The plastics bill died because Albany's Democratic Speaker — in a Democratic supermajority — decided ExxonMobil's feelings mattered more than yours. "We are drowning in trash." — @senatorharckham. www.eenews.net/articles/new...

Gun store warning signs, second in the nation, passed unanimously. "Prevention starts with awareness, & these visual warnings (will) make serious hazards clear, immediate, & unforgettable." -@vedatgashi We can't do everything, but this is something.

“If you want something, you had better make some noise.” -Malcom X

Pleasantville planners are pushing back on a 102-unit townhouse development that they say clashes with the village's character. This is exactly why SEQRA review matters. And why I was happy to see @assemblymemberburdick raise concerns about gutting it through the state budget.

Lawler (NY17) mocked protesters outside his Trump rally: "Standing outside, holding a sign, screaming at the top of your lungs gets you exactly there. Outside!" Those were his constituents. These are the people he's suppose to be representing. We done here?

Westchester just became the second county in the nation to pass a Visual Gun Warning Law, requiring gun retailers to display graphic health images showing the dangers of gun ownership — unanimously passed, with my guy @VedatGashi as a lead sponsor.

Just a regular day in the Trump White House: 1) Buy stock in company 2) Praise company publicly 3) Company gets $9.7B Pentagon contract Meanwhile, if a Dem calls for Universal Basic Income, we're called socialists. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
