When I talk to folks in the Hudson Valley, two things are crystal clear:

1) Costs are still way too high (and rising!)
2) They hate Trump’s unconstitutional overreach

So I’ll keep fighting back – for the people and against anyone who would do them harm.

Folks in my community are already feeling the pain.

Trump’s cuts to healthcare will hurt ALL OF US.

We’re rallying together and FIGHTING BACK.

Trump needs to spend less time talking to billionaire donors and more time with THE PEOPLE.

He'd hear them saying they just can't take any more. That what he's doing is fundamentally unpopular.

I'm fighting to stop the harm and actually deliver for our country.

The pain Hudson Valley families are feeling is REAL.

It’s my job to make it better – not worse.

That’s exactly why I’m fighting back against a continuation of Trump’s damaging and unpopular agenda.

FOR THE PEOPLE, and against anyone who would do them harm.

Here's what Trump doesn't want you to know: he's WEAK and bleeding support.

▪️Tariffs are raising costs across the board

▪️Healthcare prices are skyrocketing

▪️His use of US troops against US citizens is incredibly unpopular

I will continue to stand with and fight for THE PEOPLE.

I love this country.

I will not stand by while Trump deploys US troops against US citizens in American cities.

It’s an UNAMERICAN as it gets – and it makes us ALL less safe.

I hope that every freedom-loving Patriot will join me in standing up for our men & women in uniform.

Trump crossed a red line this morning, doubling down on his threat to deploy US troops against US citizens in American cities.

I am calling on EVERY PATRIOT to join me in standing up, speaking out, and fighting back 🇺🇸

Deploying US troops against US citizens in American cities isn’t just unprecedented and unconstitutional – it’s UNAMERICAN.

Every freedom-loving American Patriot, regardless of their political party, must speak up NOW.

Trump to the military: "Our inner-cities, which we're going to be talking about, because it's a big part of war now."

Trump cut $1 trillion from YOUR health care.

To give HIS donors a $1 trillion tax cut.

An ELECTED OFFICIAL called for the EXECUTION of @jayapal.house.gov because she advocated peaceful protest.

That’s not how you take the temperature down. That’s not Patriotism.

It’s on all of us to call this out directly and loudly, for the good of our country.

Trump's plan cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and gives $1 trillion in tax breaks to his donors.

My plan reverses the cuts to Medicaid and gives those tax breaks to the middle-class.

That’s the choice in front of us. I know what side I’m on.

With the American people.

Republicans know their leadership is out of step with the American people.

They have a choice to make.

They can fight for the people, or bow to the President.

Now’s the time to take a stand.

SHOW THE PEOPLE WHO YOU FIGHT FOR.

The only thing that matters right now is who you fight for.

I’m launching Patriot PAC to elect folks who love this country and want to fight FOR THE PEOPLE.

I refuse to let MAGA wrap themselves in the flag while destroying the freedoms I risked my life to defend.

I’m launching Patriot PAC to build the bench of servant leaders to win up and down the ballot and ACTUALLY DELIVER for the American people.

The United States is the greatest nation in the history of the world.

A huge reason why is our relentless drive to build a more perfect union. Americans never settle.

Being a Patriot means loving your country enough to fight for it.

I risked my life to protect every American’s rights and freedoms.

Now our draft-dodging President is forcing out comedians because he doesn’t like their jokes.

Patriots believe in free speech, ESPECIALLY when we disagree.

Everyone who supports the 1A needs to SPEAK OUT!

Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social · 20d

There’s plenty to be against. But the American people want to know what we’re FOR.

Investments in local law enforcement, not ICE.

Tax cuts for the middle class, not billionaires.

Lower insurance premiums, not $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts.

We fight for YOU.

For years, UnitedHealth has put profits first and patients last.

That ends today.

We’re going to put YOU back in control of your own healthcare – and it all starts with breaking up UnitedHealth.

In moments like these, it is on all of us as leaders to elevate our rhetoric from the partisan to the Patriotic.

Now more than ever, we need Americans of every persuasion to rise above all of the divisions, put country before party and fight for a better future together.

It’s more important than ever that every leader is leaning in and working wherever & whenever they can to bring us back together.

I was in my second year at West Point on 9/11.

Every cadet swore to never forget the heroes we lost – this country swore to never forget.

24 years later, our actions must live up to those words.

To those who lost loved ones that day: I will never stop fighting on your behalf.

Public service is all about one thing: who do you fight for?

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fights for the PEOPLE.

Andrew Cuomo is a selfish POS who only fights for himself and other corrupt elites.

I know whose side I’m on. I’m with the people. I’m with Zohran.
