This is the worst, cruelest timeline.

Shore towns get no federal dollars for beach replenishments for first time in decades This year marked the first complete funding halt for such projects since 1996. It’s possible that zero might carry over into next year as Congress debates spending priorities.

It is WILD that the Republicans just SHUT DOWN Congress and sent everyone home for SEVEN WEEKS so that they can protect Trump from a vote related to the Epstein files.

If you think that is ridiculous, we hope to see you at Fitzpatrick's office on Friday at 5PM.

"A careful review of our Congressman’s voting record shows that it is all part of a pattern, one that says a lot about the strategy Fitzpatrick deploys to get re-elected. In short, Fitzpatrick only votes against the priorities of his party when his vote is not needed."
