- The stakes are too high for business as usual. It’s time to get scrappy and fight to WIN!
- Trump said he was for YOU. Trump is only for HIMSELF.
- On Friday, Trump released his proposed budget for the federal government. I read every page, with an eye specifically on how it would impact Hudson Valley families. I could barely contain my anger by the end. Here’s what concerned me the most. 🧵
- Imagine how Putin, Xi, and the Ayatollah feel watching the total chaos with Trump’s national security team. The dysfunction makes our country less safe, and that is unacceptable.
- Trump’s made one thing clear: he puts political loyalty ahead of all else. Over competency. Over integrity. Over honesty. Certainly over accountability. Our troops deserve better, and I’m going to keep fighting until they get it.
- The richest man in the history of the world shouldn’t be getting MORE MONEY while they cut health care from tens of millions of Americans.
- Pete Hegseth is a f*cking joke. Every day he stays in this job puts more of our troops’ lives at risk. My constituents shouldn’t be spending a dollar of their hard-earned money on his salary.
- It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0. Ignore the lies, BS, and spin you’ll hear from MAGA today. I want to talk to you about REALITY. Here’s how the chaos and cruelty have hurt our community (and our country!!) ALREADY. 🧵
- Shipments have already been cancelled, but it is not too late to right this wrong. Join me in demanding Trump restore the 2 MILLION meals he's cut from hungry families in the Hudson Valley alone.
- Trump cutting food banks is a double whammy. He’s taking meals from hungry families AND ripping much-needed income from our local farmers. Our Hudson Valley community is standing up and fighting back. And we'll keep fighting until these cuts are reversed.
- Want to “Make America Safe Again” President Trump? FIRE Pete Hegseth.
- Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people. We CANNOT let him get away with it.
- Do not lose focus on the real victims of Hegseth’s mistakes: our men and women in uniform. They are less safe, and our country is less secure. The American people are rightfully demanding accountability ON BEHALF OF OUR TROOPS.
- Monopoly busting isn't just about stopping greedy corporations from ripping you off. It's also about giving everyone a shot to live the American dream.
- Taking food away from hungry kids, seniors, and veterans is straight-up UNAMERICAN. Our Hudson Valley community is standing up with one voice, and demanding Trump RESUME FOOD SHIPMENTS IMMEDIATELY!!
- Are these fake news? Are the empty shelves at the food bank I was at YESTERDAY fake news? Of all the things to lie about, cutting food to people in need is pretty damn near the bottom. Secretary Rollins, you’re pathetic. This fight is only beginning.
- You CANNOT tell me PBM reform is impossible in Congress if Sarah Huckabee Sanders can do it in ARKANSAS!
- Pete Hegseth NEVER should have been confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Anyone with an ounce of respect for our military would have resigned weeks ago. What the f*ck else do we need to see for Trump to do what’s best for our troops and our country and FIRE HIM?!?
- Very proud to join a huge crowd (400+) of Patriots rallying in Gardiner today. Never forget: YOUR voices matter. All of our voices matter. And we will not be silent.
- Yet another example of the absolute incompetence and chaos at the Pentagon. Our troops and our country are less safe because Pete Hegseth is Secretary of Defense. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
- At West Point and in Congress, I took an oath to protect and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. You can’t say you're for “law and order” and then ignore a 9-0 ruling from the Supreme Court. None of my constituents would get away with this. Neither should Trump.
- Damn right I did.
- Secretary of Agriculture Rollins called food bank cuts "fake news." Tragically, they're all too real. Shipments are already cancelled. Our community will be standing up and speaking out at our regional food bank Monday. I'm demanding she look us in the eyes and tell us the truth.
- Patriotic Populism means putting power back where it belongs: with the American people. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...
- Hey Secretary Rollins, you can claim whatever you want on Fox News. That doesn’t make it true. You cut $1B in food assistance. Shipments at the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley have already been cancelled. If it’s truly “fake news,” come join me and tell the hungry kids yourself.
- Happy Passover to everyone celebrating in the Hudson Valley and across the world! Chag Pesach Sameach, from my family to yours.
- Republicans just doubled down on their plan to gut health care and food assistance for kids and seniors to fund even more tax breaks for the richest 0.1%. All while RAISING our national debt by TRILLIONS. The numbers don’t lie, even though they will try to.
- Don’t let this get lost amidst the chaos. Today, Republicans sided with the big banks AGAIN and voted to increase fees for YOU and YOUR FAMILY. MAGA picks loyalty to Trump over loyalty to the people every time.
