This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Ya know as a person who used to be impacted by shutdowns I'd call my congressperson's office and explain why it would hurt my community, usually to crickets. Now this boot licking excuse for a representative wants to weigh in and blame Senate Dems.
Rs know they own this

Post from the Congressman Juan Ciscomani, who recently voted for the Big Bill slashing resources for everyday Americans and who will not meet with regular voters.
"If our troops, border agents, and air traffic controllers aren’t paid in a shutdown, Congress shouldn’t get paid either. I’ll withhold my pay. Period.

But it should never come to this – Washington, specifically Senate Democrats, must do its job and keep the government open."

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Trump said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the U.S. "should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military," a reference to the Democratic-run cities that he has long said have high crime rates that make them uninhabitable.

Hegseth says he'll weaken the IG oversight process:

"We are overhauling an inspector general process, the IG, that has been weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues, and poor performers in the driver's seat … No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints."
