Donald Trump is a lame duck President desperately clinging to relevance by sending our most precious resources – our troops & hard-earned tax dollars – overseas. 

All to distract from his disastrously harmful domestic agenda. 

It would be pathetic if it weren’t so dangerous.

"Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve."

-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Thank you to the Southern Dutchess Coalition for bringing us together in Beacon, as our exceptional Hudson Valley community works to serve each other every single day.

Dr. King’s teachings centered on radical love for our fellow man, on raising each other up to create community & a more just world.

I was honored to spend today with communities across the Hudson Valley, including in Beacon, as we keep fighting for freedom & justice for all 🇺🇲

A snowy MLK weekend continues here in the Hudson Valley!

Spent today thanking our dedicated DPW crews & first responders for their tireless work over the last 48hrs to keep our roads plowed & community safe 🙏

Thanks to Doughnut Dolly in Poughkeepsie for the delicious donuts!

MLK's legacy is rooted in deep service to our communities.

With snow piling up across the Hudson Valley, make sure to ask your neighbors if they need a hand shoveling out the driveway.

Thanks to my friend, New Paltz Supervisor Tim Rogers, for joining!

Thank you @pkryan.bsky.social for your support in this fight to flip NY-17 and flip the house. I’m so proud to be in the arena with you as we take on this fight for the Hudson Valley, for our country, and for our future. LFG!!!

Cait Conley has spent her life answering the call to serve — in uniform and in some of the toughest national security roles our country has.

She’s exactly the kind of fighter this district needs.

Incredibly proud to endorse her.
I’m incredibly honored to earn the support of Congressman Pat Ryan — a fellow West Point grad, Army veteran, and Hudson Valley native. Congressman Ryan and I both know what it means to put your life on the line for this country and take on missions where failure isn’t an option.

Stephen Miller should lawyer up.
.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

Our community STRONGLY rejects Trump’s plan for an ICE facility in our backyard.

Time to get LOUD & show the Administration what the Hudson Valley is made of.

Make your voice heard. Sign the petition. We WILL win this fight.

Damn straight 🇺🇸
[email protected] : What do you make of this union worker who called out Trump as a pedophile protector?

Ryan: He's a fucking American hero.

The Hudson Valley is fighting back on the side of justice, accountability, and humanity.

Say NO to ICE setting up a mass detention facility in our community.

Make your voice heard today.

Judy used to pay a $0 deductible.

Now she's on the hook for $1,000.

"I should be able to manage it financially," she told me. "As long as I don’t get sick.”

Meanwhile, Trump gave record-breaking tax cuts to the 0.1%.

Ask every public servant: who's side are you on?

Lockheed Martin should be apologizing to the taxpayer, not bragging to the Secretary of Defense.

For $2 TRILLION ($5700 per American!!), we could’ve delivered affordable healthcare.

Instead we got a plane that can’t even fly half the time.
January 13, 2026 at 5:21 PM
Our Hudson Valley community showed up in force with a clear message:

We won’t stand for Trump’s plans for a mass detention camp in our own backyard.

In Chester & beyond, we’ll keep raising our voices, LOUDLY, for justice, accountability, and humanity.
January 13, 2026 at 1:55 PM
Always ask yourself: who profits?

No surprise that in the case of mass detention camps, it’s one of Trump’s billionaire buddies.

It's shameful, un-American, and the exact opposite of everything our community stands for.

We’ll keep pushing back with everything we’ve got.

Nobody – especially those who served – voted for our men & women in uniform to be sent overseas to fight for oil. 

Draft-dodging Donald gets more out of touch every day – and it’s the American people who are paying the price.

Yesterday, 9 House Republicans voted with Democrats to force a vote for affordable healthcare.

Are the upcoming midterms causing cracks in the MAGA stronghold?

Trump’s lashing out because he knows the American people *strongly* oppose forever wars.

We just introduced a privileged resolution in the House, forcing every Member of Congress to go on the record.

You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to another war for oil.
January 8, 2026 at 7:33 PM
Watch the video for yourself. 

This is not and cannot be who we are as a country.

Investigate, unmask, and hold ICE accountable. Now.
January 7, 2026 at 9:50 PM
Trump’s going directly against the will of the People.

Hardworking Americans want healthcare that’s affordable and infrastructure that works, not more regime change, oil-focused wars.

We haven’t forgotten what you did 5 years ago, or about the 1500 violent criminals Trump pardoned.

Being a Patriot means respecting the Constitution when you win AND when you lose.

I’m sick and tired of the chickenhawk BS from Rubio, Hegseth, and our draft-dodging President.

They’re more than happy to send someone else’s kids off to fight a war for oil.

As long as their donors’ checks keep cashing.
January 5, 2026 at 11:01 PM
No matter what they say, it’s always oil.
January 3, 2026 at 11:34 PM
Trump illegally started a war so his billionaire cronies could access Venezuela’s oil.

Now he's sending even more of our taxpayer dollars + men and women in uniform to “run the country”?!?

I ran for Congress to make sure we learned the lessons of Iraq. Trump is repeating them.
Trump: "We're there now, but we're going to stay until such time as the pop -- proper transition can take place. So we're gonna stay until such time as -- we're gonna run it essentially."
January 3, 2026 at 5:17 PM
This is the impact in my community of Trump’s cuts and Republicans' refusal to extend the ACA subsidies. 

All so the top 0.1% could get another handout.
