NY-8, if you ever want a chance at getting out from under AIPAC and other political donors, be intelligent and vote Vance Bostic here.

Vance Bostic @vancebnyc.bsky.social · 11d

I have fully vowed to take no AIPAC or any major corporate PAC. That is a major reason on why I am running is to remove their influence over our representatives. Hakeem’s betrayal knows no bounds and we will expose it all.

Donald Trump has been illegally shutting down the parts of government he doesn't like and firing tens of thousands of federal workers since Day One.

Republicans’ shutdown doesn't give him any more power to create chaos.

It’s workers and the American people who will suffer.

Vought sounds layoff siren: ‘The RIFs have begun’

At least nine agencies appear to be affected.

My former political party is scared to death of these #NoKings rallies. That’s great. So let’s have a gazillion Americans out rallying all around the country on October 18th! Let’s scare the shit out of Trump & his party.

Senate GOP approved $1 billion so Trump can renovate hand-me-down Qatari 747

But they can't get their shit together to pay our troops during #TrumpShutDown

Once again, Republicans standing up for billionaires and turning their backs on hardworking Americans

Someone who’s a pedo protector and a traitor is kind of gross and unpatriotic, at any age, don’t you think!?

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.
