The Groton NY Democratic Committee represents the Democrats who reside in the village and town of Groton, NY within Tompkins County, advocating for the common good, and for the human and civil rights of everyone.
Do you think someone could explain to Trump this secret weapon to insulate us from energy price shocks and weaken Iran’s grip on our markets? Clean. Energy. It is a national security thing
Incompetence at the level of Treason
I joined advocates in Albany for the Just Pay advocacy day. Human services workers play an essential role in caring for our most vulnerable New Yorkers, and they deserve wages that allow them to live with dignity and stability.
Another loss for Trump. Another win for New Yorkers.
This $5B spent the 1st 48 hours of Trump's #WarOnIran did not accomplish one thing that benefits the residents of our Upstate NY community. And the $1+B spent each day since is no benefit to us either. Have you looked at the gas price today at the Speedway on Main St?

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens.
Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.
I partnered with Dapper Rascal Cortland to host Community Office Hours at the Cortland Community Center. Our teams connected with community members to offer support on a range of issues, including housing, healthcare, SNAP benefits, and utility assistance. Thank you to everyone who came.
My bill allowing bed and breakfasts to sell liquor, ciders, beer, and wine passed in the NYS Senate today. Bed and breakfasts are often locally owned businesses, and under current law, owners face unnecessary limitations when it comes to offering a beverage to their guests.
No one should be forced out of their home and denied the legally necessary resources to find a safe and affordable place to live.
My staff joined NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Acting Commissioner Kathy Moser for the announcement of Three Falls State Park, formerly Camp Barton, along Cayuga Lake. Thank you to Commissioner Moser for your leadership in investing in our region’s outdoor spaces.

NEW: Measures to speed up housing construction and incentivize the repair of affordable housing are gaining momentum in the state budget process, but the state Assembly could be the holdout.

My bill requiring that the governing bodies of hospitals include at least one registered professional nurse from the community as a sitting and voting member passed in the Senate. This legislation affirms something we all know to be true: nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system.
I joined the Mount Sinai church family to celebrate Reverend Jones’ 28th pastoral anniversary. I was proud to present a New York State Senate proclamation honoring Reverend Jones for his years of faithful leadership and service.
The Trump-Vance admin’s new rule is a destructive attempt to remake the federal workforce and undermine worker protections.
So we’re suing on behalf of public service organizations and unions to defend the federal workers who tirelessly serve the people of our nation.
NEW: In an effort to evade bar ethics investigations, the DOJ proposed a new rule seeking to suspend state ethics proceedings against its attorneys if it conducts its own review first.
One expert called the department's proposal an attempt “to avoid oversight…for their lawlessness.”
Six American service members have died in Trump's war on Iran, but the GOP's “hearts are breaking” for Pete Hegseth?
This war is already hitting Americans’ pocketbooks in more ways than one.
Hooray for @annakelles.bsky.social who has always advocated for #GreenEnergy! If her Bluesky account were actively posting, we could thank her there, too.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Thank you for continuing to multitask to this end during this very challenging time when Republicans treat legislation that takes care of Americans' basic needs as the least important aspect of government.
Statement from Chairman Aguilar on Trump Administration Strikes in Iran
From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, our Members of Congress must use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.
Make sure your elected officials hear from you.
Republicans will do anything to win, whether it's legal or not. They know they can't win if they play by the rules. It's up to us to do everything legal that we can do to GOTV for Democrats up and down the ballot.

At 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Trump posted a video on his social media platform announcing that he had ordered the bombing of Iran.
Two hours later, he claimed it tried to interfere in past elections — a move that sets the stage for him to rewrite election administration rules, Marc Elias writes.
Trump's agenda is unpopular and Republicans know it's going to cost them the midterms.
That's why they're racing to rig maps wherever possible.
“Stop This Bloodshed”: Israeli Lawmaker Ofer Cassif Slams Netanyahu’s “Fascist Government” over Iran
Make it make sense.

Brava!
This is an important initiative to support the health needs of girls and women deprived of these products when they're not otherwise available.
