At tonight's State of the Union, Trump will tout the greatest economy in history and claim victory over affordability.
Is he right? Let's dig in.
Taking out the wild trade swings from GDP, final sales to private customers steadily declined in 2025. No growth boom. 1/x
I was fortunate to witness & work for Sen. Gianaris as Dep Leader & head of the DSCC in both the Minority & the Majority. His leadership in those roles has been a masterclass. NY is better because of it. No one is more deserving of time with family (+ a few more Mets games)
I have decided not to seek re-election this year. Thank you to so many who have been on this ride with me throughout the years. It has been an honor to serve my community. My full statement below
“Kristi Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign as Secretary of Homeland Security or Donald Trump to do the right thing and just fire her.
“It’s a shame I have to say this in America but no one is above the law. No one.” - @GovKathyHochul
Jonathan Heppner, deputy communications director for New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, has joined @SKDK as senior VP https://t.co/17XmCRJMDm
🚨 NEW: "Despite her own social media post claiming otherwise," @EliseStefanik is still lying about her membership in the NY Young Republican Club that hosted far-right extremists.
"Beyond her own retweet, there’s other evidence Stefanik was a member."

@MountainHsky@nextlevelbb@EricLDaugh History shows broad U.S. tariffs fail from Hoover ’30 to Bush ’02: higher prices and slower growth followed. What others do doesn’t change the math: US tariffs are paid by US consumers. Even Bush reversed course + GOP like Sens Cruz(TX) + Lee(UT) have warned tariffs raise costs.
@MountainHsky@nextlevelbb@EricLDaugh And to last point. tariffs raise input costs for U.S. businesses, pushing prices up. Job gains, if any, are historically minimal, and new businesses absorb higher costs rather than lowering prices.
@MountainHsky@nextlevelbb@EricLDaugh And how does the deficit “go the other way” if that same tax revenue is redistributed as rebates instead of paying down the debt? You can’t have both without raising revenue (taxes) somewhere else.
“Previously, Democrats focused on creating change through winning Washington, but with us now out of power, people see state legislatures as the best way to fight back against Trump.” - @NYSenDems Leader + @DLCC Chair @AndreaSCousins

It's not just Latin – @EliseStefanik's botched website also features classic "American values" like:
"Family first trust"
"Will alternative"
"Legacy planningegal issues"
Babe, wake up: The new Ulster County "I voted" sticker (IYKYK) just dropped ... and it's a good one.
Shoutout to sixth-grader Ryker Darmanin for the winning design.

Today, on the Anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, my thoughts are with all of the families who were affected 24 years ago, with our city that was forever changed, and with our nation that withstood one of its greatest tests in history. We will always remember and never forget.
It was a pleasure to celebrate the opening of the 2025 Great New York State Fair in Syracuse this morning. The State Fair represents so much of New York’s spirit, who we are and what we grow, and is truly a reflection of our vibrant communities.
Leave it to Trump + his minions like @EliseStefanik + @lawler4ny to control USA economy for a handful of months + already the iconic 99cent Arizona Tea (same since 1997!) is on it’s way out. Small but very real sample how bad their tax + trade policies are
