The GOP is "doing all of this because they are in full panic. Should they lose the House, there will be accountability for the crimes and corruption ... There will be the prospect of free and fair elections in 2028—And they fear all of those things."

Great to join Colonie Indivisible’s general membership meeting this week! Loved sharing the work we’re doing at Albany County Young Democrats — and how we can join forces to fight back stronger than ever.

Elusive Elise Stefanik hasn’t met with her constituents since the Orange King passed her over for UN Ambassador. But she’s taking a break from fundraising for her gubernatorial run to get an award from the NY Young MAGAs. We’ll be there too, celebrating her as Traitor of the Year!

Superimposed over a charcoal rendering of Representative Elise Stefanik are the words StefanICK (emphasis on the ick) and a homage to Carly Simon: You’re so vain, you probably think this protest’s about YOU 🎶
