People think of NY as a blue state. Amazing the key role New Yorkers are playing in America's MAGA shift, from Trump himself to Elise Stefanik at UN, Lee Zeldin at EPA, Howard Lutnick at Commerce, Tom Homan as Border Czar, Emil Bove at DOJ and on and on (seriously, a lot more..)

Everyone keeps waiting for him to unravel but MAGA keeps winding tighter. Bernie has the populist appeal that could have brought in a diverse working class coalition but that ship has sailed, DNCCC made sure of that. I give Bernie credit for still not giving up. He is out on the road as we speak.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: DOGE's FDIC firings put banking system at risk Sen. Elizabeth Warren saidΒ she is "pleased" the FDIC will evaluate whether the decision to layoff workers at the agency puts the banking system at risk.

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash.

Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous.

I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

Trump's policies impact research and education programs in the North Country Colleges and scientists have faced a lot of uncertainty about federal funding in the first weeks of the Trump Administration.

NY Dems consider calendar change that could keep Stefanik seat empty If confirmed, Trump’s nominee for U.N. ambassador would vacate a relatively safe Republican House seat in the North Country. Democrats may want to delay that.
