Thank you to @MacFarlaneNews and @lukeradel for bringing me on to talk about the damage DOGE has done to our government. Elon's goons screwed over disabled veterans and when I get to DC I'm going to hold them accountable.
Alissa Ellman, Democratic candidate for Congress in NY: You want to talk about DEI? You want to fire people over DEI? You know that disabled combat veterans are DEI hires?
Did you know there are people I worked with who couldn’t work other jobs because they had traumatic brain injuries, or were missing limbs, or had chronic health issues caused by their service to this country?
When politicians get on TV and preach about how much they love veterans, how about you really love veterans? How about you really love them and give them jobs? That gives us dignity. That gives us respect for ourselves and our lives

TODAY IS THE DAY, NY-24!!!
Hi @thedailyshow viewers:
I'm a veteran, cancer survivor, and former VA employee.
My opponent is a cartoon villain named Claudia Tenney, who gets all her money from billionaires and AIPAC.
I get all my donations from normal people. you can join in:

Claudia Tenney goes on FOX all the time to make unhinged comments about NYC, a place that is 4.5 hours away from where she lives. She never seems to talk about NY-24, where she booted 10% of residents off of their healthcare and cut funding for rural hospitals.
Yet another crisis pretty much entirely caused by DOGE.
A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. newsmax.com/platinum/screwwo…
Happy Pride! Celebrating all the LGBTQ+ people across NY-24 and including my LGBTQ+ supporters and volunteers who make my campaign possible. I could not do this without you.
To all the queer and trans people I will represent: You are seen, you are loved, and you belong.
Thank you to everyone who fought to free Dolores Bustamante from ICE detention, she is free! wxxinews.org/local-news/2026…
Excited to announce I've been endorsed by both the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades and Communications Workers of America! They join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in my growing team of unions helping me boot Claudia Tenney!
Claudia Tenney has been attacking me online for supporting Medicare for All and standing up for trans people. It's true - I do support M4A and I support trans rights!
Enough rage-posting online Claudia. Meet me on the debate stage. I'm ready when you are.
I fought terrorists. I fought cancer. I will fight for the working class, and I will fight against Claudia Tenney..
The people who work at VA choose to work there because they want to do right by veterans, by their communities, and by America. Investigating VA workers grieving their friend and coworker who was murdered by ICE is obvious political retaliation and a betrayal to those workers.
Host: Several workers for the Department of Veterans Affairs were the focus of an internal investigation after they attended vigils for Alex Pretti. One VA employee went to this memorial and spoke with the news in her personal capacity. A few days later, an internal investigation was launched into whether she violated VA rules.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly destroyed hard fought protections against voter suppression.
I will proudly vote to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act when I get to congress. Democracy works when all voices are heard.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, weakening a landmark voting rights law’s protections against discrimination in redistricting. apnews.com/article/supreme-c…
Very proud to be endorsed by
@IAM_Union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers! Unions built NY-24 and IAM did a ton for working families, including my own! Working class people deserve a shameless advocate in Washington, I will be that advocate!
