In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

Don't Lose Heart: A Blueprint for Staying in the Fight The most important battle we face isn't in Congress, in the courts, or at the ballot box. It's the one happening right now inside each of us.

Hot take: if we simply refuse to quit, we've already won half the battle.
Not a small half. HALF.
Staying in the fight IS the fight.

Come out to Niagara Square this Thursday for some Good Trouble!

Thank you so much for doing the Yeoman's work of keeping us posted on all of this. Your coverage has been invaluable!

Thank you for highlighting the stories of those who will suffer because of this bill. And thank you for fighting, even when we might not have much hope for a better outcome. The fight is important, so thank you.

For sure. That's why he needs to go in November.

Office Locations | Congressman Nick Langworthy

The #MAGAMurderBill is an abomination. NY-23 folks: Rep Langworthy will certainly fall in line, but let's light up his phones anyhow. This bill will be devastating for rural communities and rural hospitals, something he claimed he would stand up for. What a joke. langworthy.house.gov/contact/offi...
