Energy costs in the Hudson Valley are just going to keep getting worse. Why? Because the GOP Budget Bill Rep. Mike Lawler backed repealed the tax credits that built cheaper power.

We deserve better than this.

NEW: Pennsylvania just launched a public voter registration dashboard 📊🏛️

8.9 million registered voters broken down by party, county and district, updated weekly. This is what election transparency looks like.

When voters can see the data, they can trust the process. That's how we keep our elections safe.

It's not your imagination. The cost of back to school shopping this year was WAY more expensive.

It's so bad that about half of parents expect to take on debt to cover it.

Because between basic supplies and the rising cost of the lunch you're packing your kids every day, it'll cost an average of $4,000 per kid this year.

This is not ok. And it doesn't have to be this way.

A new analysis from the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity finds that nearly 25% of U.S. workers are stuck in poverty-wage jobs, involuntary part-time work, or no job at all. And it's been climbing for four straight months.

Inflation is rising faster than wages. Working families are going backwards. The so-called "affordability crisis" is out of control

Congress needs to stop treating billionaire tax breaks as the baseline and start treating working families like the priority.

When a journalist asked Gabe Evans, the Republican congressman representing Colorado's 8th congressional district, how many Coloradans could expect to lose SNAP benefits thanks to his vote on HR 1, Evans refused to answer.

More than 27,000 Coloradans have already lost food assistance. Another 63,000 are expected to once the worst cuts kick in, in 2027.

Kids are going to bed hungry. Working parents are choosing between groceries and gas. And Gabe won't talk about it.

According to the Poughkeepsie Journal, a NY family using 20 gallons of gas a week has spent $450 more on gas over the last 5 months compared to last year.

Why? Because of the expensive, unnecessary war in Iran that Donald Trump started and Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) voted to keep going FIVE TIMES.

Lawler says the cost was "absolutely worth it."

Pennsylvania is the 3rd-largest energy producer in the country.

So why are our electric bills up 20% in just two years?

Because the regional grid (PJM) is short thousands of megawatts, and utilities pass those higher supply costs straight to us.

Meanwhile, here's the twist: gas plants take 4+ years to build, and the industrial turbines they need are backlogged for 5+ years. But 536 solar and battery projects are sitting in PJM's queue right now — projects that could power Pennsylvania homes in under 2 years.

Pennsylvania families shouldn't have to choose between paying the bill and putting food on the table. It's time to cut the red tape and get clean energy online.

They want us scared. They want us divided. They want us alone. We're choosing none of the above.

570 organizations. One coalition. One goal: prepare working people to WIN before the next attack comes.

The May Day Strong Coalition is bringing Solidarity Schools to Labor Day picnics and parades across the country. We're sharpening our voter defense training, nonviolent resistance skills, and the kind of organizing that actually shifts power.

Workers over billionaires. Always.
