The only dancing that should be banned:
“Dancing in bars” matters more to @GovKathyHochul than reducing taxes, cutting spending, keeping our communities safe, prosecuting criminals, lowering energy prices, creating jobs, and just about anything else that would improve your life.
No wonder people are leaving the state.
I know that @TimmyFacciola_ is smarting from his failed attempt to spike Cait's primary win, and is pulling for Lawler because he believes working women are icky, but the idea that Orange & Rockland are culturally incompatible is insane. We have a whole electric company about it.

Why is it so hard for leftists to grasp that some people simply disagree with them? Everything has to be a conspiracy — whenever anything goes against them, it’s “Well well I see Jeffrey Epstein’s check cleared.”
After 2 full months of campaign launch, @PatRyanUC's GOP joke challenger, FL's #palmbeachchic, #luxurylifestyle Jackie Auringer, has received a grand total of only 3 campaign contributions from in-district #NY18 residents.
Won't even cover the price of 1 of her Bottega bags.😢
So, Timmy blocked me and I can’t respond inline, but @mimi1bandolera, the answer to this question is “Peter Chatzky.” Timmy’s got an emotional problem with Cait, largely gender-based, so he’ll likely be supporting Lawler in the general.

Quick story below about Hudson Valley Republicans' "#palmbeachchic" "#sixstar" "#luxuryliving" "#ultramaga" recruit for #NY18.
GOP clearly as serious about governing as ever.
Ugh. Although I know that @JoyceCarolOates isn’t a paid subscriber to “Conniving Jew Octopus Monthly,” she’s not shy about reading it with interest in the dentist’s waiting room. Ah, well.
Can't wait for tomorrow's #SOTU, when - as he has done, pathologically, for EVERY YEAR Trump has been president - @lawler4ny will try to be the very best smol MAGA boy by monitoring whether Democrats clap for Trump as hard as he does.🐀 #NY17

Last week, many news organizations uncritically ran with ICE’s claim that it had purchased an upstate warehouse to use as a detention center.
The Times Union didn’t. We did some actual reporting and found there were no records of a deal.
Then, tonight:

Lawler attacking a U.S. Army vet for not having perfect 2007 voting records (while she was actively serving our country btw) is gross and pathetic.
For context, this is @lawler4ny was up to in 2007. He was doing blackface.
Not for nothing, but if you are gonna ask people to switch parties and vote for you in a primary, it might actually help if you yourself did that…
As we learned last week, you didn’t register to vote as a Democrat until you decided to move to New Castle (not Ossinging!) and hardly voted in a midterm election since 2007.
But hey, at least you outraised @BethDavidson17, by a lot!
The endlessly comic tragedy of GOP candidate @EspositoforNY's '24 campaign in the Hudson Valley still continues as four of the eight Republican Ulster County legislators who endorsed her last year lost their seats this week.
For all you do for NY Dems, we salute you, Espo!🫡
Hey @PeterGiunta - are you still taking submissions for this? I've got a doozy.

Right now, a 60-year-old couple in the Hudson Valley making $85K/yr pays about $7K/yr for their annual premium under the Affordable Care Act. But Mike Lawler and Trump’s allies in Congress are pushing a budget that would gut those tax credits.
Without them, that same couple would see their premiums skyrocket to nearly $30,000 a year. That’s not health care—that’s financial ruin. And it’s #NY17 families who will get crushed.
Feckless @lawler4ny is not only defending his indefensible vote to rip healthcare away from thousands of his #NY17 constituents, but he’s cheerleading Trump’s mobster-style termination of thousands of infrastructure jobs for #NY17 citizens.
All so he can be Trump’s good boy.
Not only is @lawler4ny fully complicit with the GOP shutdown-which is entirely due to their goal of jacking up healthcare costs for all of us-but he ensures that #NY17 will eat more shit than “Red” districts because he does absolutely nothing to stand up to Trump’s attacks on us.

Democrats say Mike Lawler needs to address the allegations that his aide infiltrated the Fight Lawler group and then stoked divisions using an alias.. Lawler's response was to assail me for reporting on the issue as an independent journalist. substack.com/@davidmckaywils…
Every news outlet that Lachlan Murdoch controls has gone full accelerationist about this story. I wonder what happened last week that might have unleashed his worst possible impulses. 🤔
Great job, James, Liz and Prue - hope there’s space in your bunker for the rest of us.
The anatomy of a lie:
The New York Post has published an article stating that Tyler Robinson was living with and in a relationship with a transgender individual.
Their source? Brooke Singma of "Fox News Digital"
Her source? NOT GIVEN and not linked.
The NY Post article is now being used as "Proof" when they are quoting Brooke who gave no proof.
Do you see how this demon works, America?
Here is the link. Read for yourself. They use a s source that has no source.
That's the Anatomy of a Lie!
