Speaks in Rockland County to boost Rep. Lawler President Donald Trump, while visiting Rockland County on Friday (May 22) to appear with Rep. Mike Lawler, began testing his midterm message that was ostensibly on the economy. Lawler's district, which includes Philipstown, will be one of the most closely watched House races this November. The event at Rockland Community College in Suffern was meant to promote the tax law Trump signed last year, particularly the quadrupling of the deduction for state and local taxes, which is critical in a high-tax state like New York. Trump called Lawler "fantastic" and mused about how the congressman was a "pain in the ass" as he badgered the administration on expanding the deduction. He pulled Lawler onstage during the event, and the congressman thanked the president "for working with me to deliver a big win" for the people in his district. He said that more than 90 percent of the people in District 17 were able to fully deduct their state and local taxes. During his remarks, the president veered away from the economy from the start, going off on tangents about voter identification, crime in cities, transgender women in sports and "Dumocrats," his new chosen moniker for the opposition party. He complained that toiletries are locked up in pharmacies, making them harder to buy, and polled the audience on what he should call his predecessor, former President Joe Biden. Eventually, he landed on the topic of the speech, telling the crowd that he and his party worked to slash taxes and increase take-home pay, while Democrats opposed the effort at every turn. "I cut your taxes, cut the taxes on workers, families, small business, who are the soul of this state," Trump said. Listing off the provisions of the tax law, the president said: "These are all Republican tax cuts. The Democrats voted against every one of these tax cuts." Also appearing with the president at the event Friday was Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-backed Republican candidate for governor. Trump said, "Guys like Mike Lawler, guys like Bruce Blakeman, you put them in, they'll turn it around." The White House has been looking for more opportunities to highlight Trump's economic accomplishments as his approval rating on the economy has slumped. About one-third of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling the economy, according to a new AP-NORC poll, down slightly from 40 percent at the start of his second term. Trump had promised to bring prices down, but gas prices have surged this year due to the war in Iran. Lawler is just one of three House Republicans who represent a district won by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024. Unlike the other two — retiring Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon and Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who's been a critic of Trump policies — Lawler has chosen to embrace the polarizing president in hopes of not alienating Republican voters who support the party's leader. "Look, the people who hate the president — and that's their sole basis for their vote — are likely never voting for me, and you know, obviously, you need to turn out your base, and you need people energized," Lawler told The Associated Press in an interview on the sidelines of the White House congressional picnic earlier this week. "Moreover, I have a record in my district that is one I'm very proud of, and a record that appeals to a broad middle." Lawler, wearing a red ball cap emblazoned with "Mr. SALT," the acronym for the state and local tax deduction he fought to include in the bill, added, "I am confident that I will be reelected on my own merits and my own record." Trump established a SALT cap in 2017 through his Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Last year's law expanded the SALT deduction to $40,000 from $10,000 after arduous negotiations with Republicans, including Lawler, whose district has high local taxes. The law also raised the average tax refund for New Yorkers to more than $3,800, according to data provi...

This week on Words With Wista, I'm talking about why job interviews in 2026 feel like public humiliation rituals, the chaos happening across the U.S. and around the world, and Trump pulling up to Rockland County like we don't already have enough traffic. We also get into Jeff Bezos talking taxes, Spirit Airlines shutting down and leaving people stranded emotionally and financially, James Charles getting called out for being wildly out of touch, and these nonstop company layoffs that have everybody stressed. Plus, the internet is shocked that John Boyega and Tae Heckard are married and honestly... I'm not surprised at all. I'm also talking about why having a side hustle is basically survival at this point and how the World Cup is sneaking up on us real fast. IG: itswista SubStack/ YouTube/ IG: wordwithwista

The May, 2026 episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" began streaming on Monday, May 18, on all major podcast platforms and here on the HSRC website.In this episode, we revisited an interview from 2011 with the historian and author Robert A. Mayers (1930-2025) about his book The War Man: The True Story of a Citizen-Soldier Who Fought from Quebec to Yorktown. The book offers a unique opportunity to follow the course of the American Revolution through the eyes of a front-line volunteer from Haverstraw, NY.In 1775, the first year of the American Revolution, Congress made an appeal for troops. The resulting army of citizen-soldiers began what for many would be more than five years of battle and deprivation. Their consolation, however, was that they would ultimately defeat the most powerful army of the age and win independence for the new country of America. John Allison, a New York farmer, answered the call to arms in 1775, joining the Continental Army's 3rd New York Infantry. Allison was surrounded by likeminded volunteers, yet all were equally unprepared for campaigning. Despite the lack of training, equipment, and clothing, Allison and the rest of his company found themselves marching toward Quebec knee-deep in snow as part of the unsuccessful American invasion of Canada.So begins the remarkable story of the wartime experiences of a foot soldier of the American Revolution. Using letters, muster rolls, orderly books, service records, and oral family history, Robert Mayers reconstructs the campaign life of John Allison. What makes his life remarkable is that he participated in many key events across the colonies for the duration of the war. Allison fought at the gates of Montreal, the battle of Fort Montgomery on the Hudson—where most of his company was either killed or went missing—the decisive Sullivan-Clinton operation against the Iroquois, endured the bitter winter at Morristown, New Jersey, and helped man the frontline at the American victory at Yorktown, Virginia. During Allison's eight-year military career, he survived numerous skirmishes and battles across the colonies, was promoted to the rank of corporal, and returned home a local hero.Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, starts streaming new episodes on the third Monday of each month at 10am.   From October 2010 to May 2025, the program aired after the morning show on WRCR radio 1700 AM and www.WRCR.com. Join host Clare Sheridan as we explore, celebrate, and learn about our local history, with different topics and guest speakers every month.

Activists have a plan for weekend service A year after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority discontinued a commuter ferry on the Hudson River between Beacon and Newburgh, activists are hoping to raise $200,000 to launch their own weekend service. The Save the Ferry coalition, whose members live on both sides of the river, envisions a free boat running 10 hours on each Friday, Saturday and Sunday from mid-June through October. They hope to demonstrate that demand still exists for the route, which the MTA has replaced with shuttle buses. The service would rely on the Nellie Bly, a 40-person vessel supplied by the New York Boat Co., which runs charter cruises from Peekskill. The coalition said it is in talks to use the Sloop Club dock in Beacon and the Riverfront Marina in Newburgh. The MTA suspended ferry service in January 2025 due to river ice. During the hiatus, the agency said it discovered damage to the floating dock it used in Beacon. Because ridership had also been declining — from an average of nearly 250 people per day in 2008 to 62 in 2024, according to the MTA — the agency officially canceled the service in June, before it ever restarted. If the coalition can secure funding, weekend service "would be one incremental step in the whole restoration of that regional transportation link," said Victoria Manning, a Newburgh resident. Organizers wouldn't say what they have raised so far, but they are asking Hudson Valley legislators to push for funding for their ferry pilot in the 2026-27 state budget. They estimate the $200,000 will cover marketing, insurance, permitting, docking fees and a crew for the season. If funding doesn't materialize, the coalition says it will try again in 2027-28. While the MTA ferry ran only during commuting hours, bringing Newburgh residents to Beacon's Metro-North station to catch trains toward Poughkeepsie or Grand Central Station, the coalition believes a weekend boat would attract casual riders as well as people who work on Saturday and Sunday. "Businesses and individuals have been clamoring for this," Manning said. An MTA spokesperson said on Wednesday (May 6) that the agency has no plans to restart a ferry between Beacon and Newburgh. The bus shuttles are free through 2026; an express route to New York Stewart International Airport has been added. For the third year, the agency will also operate a seasonal weekend ferry between Haverstraw in Rockland County and Ossining in Westchester County beginning this month. Members of the coalition don't understand why that can't happen farther north. Amanda Brown, a Beacon resident and professional mediator, said the MTA told her it shut down the Newburgh crossing because of low ridership. But she believes the agency didn't do enough to examine the reasons behind it. In January, Brown began surveying Main Street business owners in Beacon. Some told her, she writes in a report she hopes to share with the Beacon and Newburgh city councils, that they are certain some customers come from Newburgh. Others said that "anything that could draw people to the area in general would be good for them," said Brown, who plans more interviews. Based on 2024 state tourism statistics, the coalition says its conservative estimate is that 60 passengers on a weekend ferry would generate $187,000 in retail revenue in the two cities over the season. At the high end, they said, with more passengers spending more money, it could reach $750,000. "Newburgh does not have the same level of weekend tourism as Beacon, so our small business community needs this connection," said Manning, a museum registrar who rides the train into New York City three or four times a week. According to the state Department of Transportation, usage of the Newburgh-Beacon bus shuttle more than doubled in the past year. But the numbers don't reflect an important difference between the bus and the ferry, said Manning, who takes a 6 a.m. shuttle to Beacon. On the return trip over the Newburgh-Be...

Nearly $3M raised by Lawler, Democrats U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler raised $1.5 million and the five Democrats pursuing his District 17 House seat brought in a combined $1.3 million during the first three months of this year, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. The reports, which detail donations received through March 31 from individuals and political action committees (PACs), show Lawler beating his previous quarter as he seeks a third term in a district that includes Philipstown. They also show Cait Conley, a West Point graduate from Orange County and former director of counterterrorism for the National Security Council, more than doubling the donations of Beth Davidson, a Rockland County legislator. Individuals donated $563,000 to Lawler's campaign. In a statement, he said 9,054 contributions came from 4,314 individuals, "a testament to the deep grassroots energy driving the campaign." He also received $573,000 from other committees, including the Lawler Victory Fund. Lawler's campaign splits the fund's proceeds with his political action committee, MVL PAC, and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Another $365,000 came from special-interest PACs, including $7,500 from No Labels, a group of moderate Democrats, Republicans and independents who criticize "the extremes on the far left and right"; $5,000 each from the Allied Pilots Association, Ernst & Young and the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America; and $2,500 each from the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, the Loan Syndications & Trading Association and the National Cotton Council of the American Committee for the Advancement of Cotton. Lawler spent nearly $792,000. His expenses ranged from $141,000 to the Campaign Engine Group for digital consulting, $43,000 to BrabenderCox for digital ads and $117,000 for wages, including $34,000 to his campaign manager, Ciro Riccardi, and $18,333 to the deputy campaign manager, Alexander Mathis. While Lawler does not have to spend on a primary, five Democrats will face each other on June 23 for the party line in the November general election. Two months out from the primary, Conley widened her fundraising lead, bringing in $731,000 during the first quarter compared to $361,000 for Davidson. Conley drew $666,000 in donations from individuals and $41,000 from PACs, including $10,000 from the JUNO Fund, which supports "dynamic candidates who do things differently" rather than the "aging leaders and old ideas" of the Democratic Party; and $5,000 each from Equality PAC (which supports LGBTQ+ candidates and "allies") and the New Democratic Coalition Action Fund. Of Conley's $423,000 in spending, $163,700 went to SB Digital for advertising and fundraising services, $21,600 to her campaign manager, Emily Goldson, and $16,700 to Berger Hirschberg Strategies for campaign consulting. "I'm deeply grateful for the incredible support behind this campaign," said Conley in announcing her fundraising totals. "From fundraising to volunteer power, we've built an incredible movement by people who believe in the possibility of a better America and the need for new leadership." Davidson and Effie Phillips-Staley, a Tarrytown trustee, were the only other Democrats reaching six figures in donations during the quarter. All but $3,000 of Davidson's funds, including $2,500 from the Great Lakes PAC, came from individuals. Some of Davidson's biggest disbursements were $79,000 to Blueprint Interactive for digital consulting and the purchase of contact lists from other campaigns, $44,100 to Impact Research for polling and $21,300 to her campaign manager, Ellen McCormick. Phillips-Staley's contributions included $5,913 from a March 22 benefit concert in Sacramento, California, headlined by the band Cake. The show also raised funds for Mai Vang, who is running for a House seat there. One of her biggest expenses was $31,000 to Bartholomew Communications & Strategies to gather nominating petition signatures, so...

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Engineering Belonging: Camp Leadership, Legacy, and the Power of Words with Matt KaufmanHost Savia Rocks welcomes Matt, a camp director and author, to season seven of the Us People Podcast to discuss purpose, judgment, legacy, and building community. Matt shares growing up in diverse Rockland County near Manhattan with teacher parents who emphasized lifelong learning and summer camp as education. He reflects on insecurities, self-forgiveness, and how camp challenged him socially despite an engineering background. Matt explains that directing a day camp is like running a small city in summer and a year-round business the rest of the year, involving logistics, staffing, sales, and problem-solving. He describes a typical summer day, misconceptions about the job, influential English teachers, mentors who hired him despite being introverted, and advice about expanding impact through leadership. He defines success as leaving things better, describes peace after his daughter's birth, would eliminate social media algorithms, and highlights belonging as camp's key lesson. He shares his 9/11 near-miss, recommends intentional communities, defines legacy through how staff treat children, and promotes his books The Summer Camp MBA and The Campfire Effect plus his website and LinkedIn.00:00 Legacy and Healing01:10 Season Seven Welcome02:25 Growing Up and Learning04:08 Phones vs Reading04:55 Mirror and Self Forgiveness07:12 What Camp Directors Do10:09 Choosing Purpose Over Pay12:01 Alone With Thoughts14:04 A Day at Camp18:40 Misconceptions and Off Season22:38 Words Have Power23:17 Regret and Words23:35 Teachers and Literature24:39 Getting a Chance25:55 Leadership Advice27:32 Living Beyond Judgment29:14 Desert Island Picks31:03 Defining Success and Peace32:29 Power and Social Media33:22 Fate and 9 1135:46 Belonging and Legacy38:26 Books and Where to Find Matt40:09 Closing Thanks and OutroLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewjkaufman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlovescampWebsite: https://www.ilove.camp/Thank you so much Matt, for showing us that simplicity of togetherness really does count. In life we forget to ask the question that really count - Savia RocksSupport the show

The February episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" started streaming on Monday, February 16, at 10 am.On this episode of Crossroads of Rockland History, host Clare Sheridan welcomed author Eve Kahn as she returns to discuss her latest work ahead of her March presentation at Sloatsburg's Harmony Hall. The focus will be on Kahn's new book, Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death: Gilded-Age Journalist Zoe Anderson Norris (Fordham University Press).If you're unfamiliar with Zoe Anderson Norris (1860–1914), a notable journalist of the Gilded Age, you're not alone: Eve Kahn is on a mission to bring her story to light. Norris was known for blending fact and fiction in her writings, often weaving autobiographical elements into her stories, which led to criticism for using her personal relationships as material. Despite this, she was deeply committed to exposing the struggles of New York's poor through East Side, the magazine she launched and ran from 1909 to 1914. Remarkably, its final issue included Norris's own prediction of her death, inspiring the dramatic title of Kahn's book.Eve Kahn's presentation at Harmony Hall will take place on Sunday, March 8, at 2 pm. Tickets are $20 and benefit the restoration of the historic Jacob Sloat House.Information and tickets are online here: https://www.friendsofharmonyhall.org/events-2/queen-of-bohemia-predicts-own-death-eve-kahn-returns__________________Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, starts streaming new episodes on the third Monday of each month at 10am.

Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 700 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls Check out StandUpwithPete.com to learn more RANDI WEINGARTEN is president of the 1.8 million-member AFT, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe.  During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City.
