With fear for our democracy, I dissent. The details of my life are quite inconsequential.

this statement does not address why she didn't choose to simply abstain and why she has chosen to campaign with Rogers. The most it says is she still believes in various policies Rogers does not. But she hopes he will end up being like McCain.

Stevens offers her most detailed explanation (in writing) of what happened. Distilled further: She made demands of him, which, she acknowledges, he met. But because he didn't want her to campaign with him because she was making demands, she then pulled her endorsement

Read every word of David Schwartz's takedown of Mike Lawler.
David has Lawler dead-to-rights on his history with the Jewish community in Rockland County.
And everyone in Rockland knows it.
This is #TheRealMikeLawler, #NY17.
Mike Lawler is obsessed with attacking Chuck Schumer's support for the Jewish community.
I live in NY-17. I'm voting tomorrow. I didn't want to go there. But he's begging for it on election eve. Let's unpack his record.
Now, how did Mike Lawler become Rockland GOP chair?
He endorsed an open antisemite for county legislator. James Foley ran the "Block the bloc" blog and the "Block the Block Vote" Facebook page targeting Hasidic Jews. He campaigned on "Ramapo Mafia" signs. He threatened to assault Orthodox Jews. At the time, Foley was known as the most radicalized anti-Orthodox voice in Rockland County. Lawler endorsed him anyway, calling Foley his "good friend" and a "trusted voice of change and hope."
Then Foley returned the favor. He took the Rockland GOP to court. The judge threw out the bylaw. Days later, Lawler was able to become chair. He owes his chairmanship to one of the most vicious antisemites in Rockland County.
Then there's the 2019 "Storm is Brewing" video, condemned by both parties as antisemitic for warning of a Hasidic "takeover." Back then Lawler was Deputy Supervisor of Orangetown and a GOP operative. Mike was accused of being part of the planning group. The email names "Mike L." right in it.
His ally Brett Yagel was ruled by a judge to have discriminated against Jews when he was mayor of Pomona. Lawler endorsed him for Assembly not once but twice.
That's the résumé of the man attacking America's highest-ranking Jewish elected official for not doing enough to fight antisemitism. The man who wrote a book on antisemitism, calling out both the far right and the far left.
The man whose great-grandmother was gunned down by the Nazis with 30 of her relatives, ages three months to 83.
Someone should tell Mike Lawler that repeating one Yiddish word, "shanda," over and over doesn't make you the defender of Jews. It makes you the actual Shanda.
Sit this one out, Mike.

Notable to me that we've seen both Cook and Sabato analysts say today that the ground may be shifting quickly in Florida and North Carolina, and that could lead to surprises in those states
New @CookPolitical: our final House ratings are live, including five more shifts towards Dems in #FL04, #NC07, #NC14, #TN09 and #VA05. Don't miss @ercovey's hour-by-hour election night guide: cookpolitical.com/analysis/h…

Mike Lawler’s election night party is listed as a CLOSED press event. No press allowed?
What exactly is the campaign trying to keep behind closed doors on election night? Are they that worried about losing?

Dockworkers went on strike across 113 ports in 22 countries to disrupt the transport of weapons of war, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
New Yorkers stand with them. When working people unite in their power, we build a better world.
Dockworkers do not work for war.

BREAKING: NY-17 ‼️
Twelve out-of-state political canvassers sued Rep. Mike Lawler’s reelection campaign and several consulting firms for allegedly paying as little as $1 per door knocked and firing them after they complained about unfair labor practices and discrimination, per Bloomberg.
Now Lawler is also banning Bloomberg from his press pool in retaliation for reporting it.
VOTE for Cait Conley! Let’s GO 🩵💙

I’m heartbroken to learn that a child in Lewis County has died from measles. My heart goes out to their family and everyone who knew and loved them.
This is New York’s first measles-related death in 30 years, a devastating reminder of what’s at stake when Washington deliberately erodes decades of progress in protecting Americans from preventable diseases.
Vaccination remains our best protection against the heartbreak of another family losing a child to measles.

.@JamesTalarico: In Texas, an out-of-state billionaire gave our governor $12 million to pass a private school voucher scam.
Vouchers take money out of our underfunded public schools and give those tax dollars to wealthy parents who already have their kids in private school.
It is literally a transfer of wealth from the bottom and the middle to the people at the very top, all because of corruption in our political system.

NEW AD: @JamesTalarico’s students speak about their former teacher:
“The lessons that Mr. Talarico taught me are still with me today.”
“If it wasn't for Mr. Talarico, I wouldn't have made it out of middle school.”
“He has so much empathy for people.”
“Talarico had a big impact on my life. It saved me.”

Hamilton: He didn't just turn some things over to collections every once in a while. He had his personal lawyer file suit against 700 patients. There was a woman who he left part of the placenta in the womb and she had to go back and he removed that. Then he billed her again for the same procedure.
Every place I go, the doctors come up to me and say, this is not what we do as doctors. We don't sue 700 of our patients. I've never met a doctor who sued 700 patients.
But here's the thing that really gets me. He goes to Washington, DC, and he takes health care away from 60,000 Kansans… What’s going to happen with those people? Are they going to be sued or arrested?

This is… insane:
“Musk has spent $474 million to help Trump and the GOP win the midterms…roughly 0.05% of his net worth.”
“If you compare his worth to the median American’s, Musk’s political spending this election cycle is equivalent to $116.”

Life in the Hudson Valley has only gotten harder and more expensive over the past four years — as career politicians leave families like mine, like ours, behind.
I’m running to fix that. I won’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of the better, more affordable future we deserve.
It would be the privilege of a lifetime to fight for you in Congress, and I would be honored to earn your vote tomorrow.

.@JamesTalarico: Capitalism was an innovation — the revolutionary idea that you should be compensated for your time and work.
That's not what we have today.
We don't have capitalism. We have crony capitalism, where the gains go to those who can afford to buy access and politicians for control.

NOTE: SCOTUS denied DOJ's application about the California election without even asking for us to respond. And it was referred to the full Court. Not a single Justice noted a dissent.
This is unprecedented. DOJ is now being treated like Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.
