On the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, Americans Cannot Forget that Democrats Sided with Those Who Hate America
September 11, 2026
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, New Yorkers need to know that radical Democrats Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen betrayed the heroic first responders and survivors of that tragic day.
Suozzi and Gillen callously voted against funding for the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides health care at no cost for 9/11 first responders and survivors.
Andwhy did they do it? To bend the knee to their extreme Party that embraces those who believe America "deserved 9/11."

Dem Long Island House members bragged about 9/11 health program -- then voted against it: GOP

The Long Island pair voted with most Democrats in a vote against federal bill HR 7148, which passed on Feb. 3 in a narrow 217-214 vote before it was signed by President Trump to end a four-day partial government shutdown.
But both Suozzi and Gillen had bragged in a January press release about supporting a bipartisan spending package to "Secure Lifetime Funding for the World Trade Center Health Program," the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee noted.
Just days later, they voted against the compromise bill from the Senate that included funding for the program.
"Two-Faced Tom Suozzi and Lying Laura Gillen stabbed 9/11 heroes and survivors in the back," said NRCCC spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole.
"And why? They did it to bend the knee to their extreme Party that embraces those who say America 'deserved 9/11.' Their vote is disqualifying, and Suozzi and Gillen will answer for it in November."
[...]
The law funds the World Trade Center Health program, which provides medical coverage and care to 9/11 responders and survivors.
In addition, the law updates the program's formula through the year 2040 to help keep up with rising medical costs as more people get sick from toxic exposure decades after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that toppled the WTC's Twin Towers.

DFL State Fair Booth Soars to Second Highest Sales Year in History
The DFL raised over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 State Fair. Sales increased nearly 27% compared to 2025.
ST. PAUL - Today, the Minnesota DFL announced that its State Fair booth generated over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, marking the second-highest sales total in party history.
The 2026 total was more than $65,000 higher than in 2025,which set the non-election year merchandise record.
Minnesotans are united in our momentum. Of the 5,574 DFL tee shirts sold in 2026, 1,528 were the "Minnesota Strong" Rebel Loon shirt. The party also sold over $16,000 in DFL buttons, 1,283 campaign shirts, and 3,940 campaign buttons.
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair drew 1.9 million visitors from all over the state and the country -- proving yet again that the Great Minnesota Get-Together is the best in the nation.
In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by State Fair attendees, Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Richard Carlbom released the following statement:
"Minnesotans are strongest when we show up for one another, and that's exactly what we saw at the State Fair. People came to the DFL booth to share their stories, listen to leaders, and stand with each other. This year, we saw Republicans choosing to stand with Trump instead of the people of Minnesota. Our top selling "Minnesota Strong" shirt captures a different spirit: We're with you, and we're in this together. That's what makes us Minnesota strong."

Dave Muhlbauer, Iowa Farmers Call Out Zach Lahn for Covering Up His Running Mate's Legal and Financial Scandals
September 10, 2026
DES MOINES - Today, nominee for lieutenant governor Dave Muhlbauer and Iowa farmers gathered to hold Zach Lahn accountable for refusing to address serious allegations that his running mate Derek Wulf is under criminal investigation and has been accused of theft and fraud.
Lahn has no real plan to bring down costs for farmers and chose a running matewhose predatory business practices "contributed to their strain." He supports reckless tariffs that are raising costs for farmers and hurting Iowa's agricultural economy.
Read what Iowa farmers had to say below:
"Zach Lahn's running mate is accused of defrauding farmers and threatening their livelihoods. What's even more concerning than those accusations is that Zach Lahn claims he didn't know about them," said nominee for lieutenant governor Dave Muhlbauer. "Maybe if Zach Lahn spent more time in Iowa instead of Kansas, he might've known about Wulf's problems. Instead, he made a rushed and reckless decision in choosing his running mate and is now trying to sweep it all under the rug. That's disqualifying, and Iowans cannot trust Zach Lahn if this is who he picks to be his running mate."
"Lahn's answer is he didn't know about any of this when he picked [Derek Wulf], but my question is why ... Maybe if he spent a little less time in Kansas, he could have heard what folks are saying up around Black Hawk County, what they already knew," said Tony Thompson, farmer and State Senate District 23 candidate. "Where I'm from, when something goes wrong, you own it. You answer the hard questions, you square up with the people you owe. Lahn's had weeks, but he keeps on ducking ... Until Zach Lahn explains himself, I sure wouldn't take his word to the bank."
"When you have a pattern of behavior in which a farm continually fails to pay, continually ends up in trouble ... You're hurting other people in your community when you're behaving in this fashion," said Madison County farmer Ryan Marquardt. "If Lahn's going to ignore these red flags and proceed with a candidate like this, that begs the question: If he's going to do that at this level, what would he do with the state level?"
"Lahn's lack of due diligence and reckless decision-making in choosing Wulf as his running mate is disqualifying for anyone running for governor," said Cyndy Coppola, who farms in Webster and Calhoun counties. "Lahn has tried to frame Wulf's legal and financial problems as standard operating practices for Iowa farmers in hard times. I say sentiments like these are an insult to the vast majority of Iowa farmers who believe in honesty, fair business practices, and integrity. The fact that the Iowa Farm Bureau refused to endorse Lahn speaks volumes ... Iowa farmers deserve a governor who is thoughtful and believes in honesty and accountability. And all Iowans deserve a leader with character that we can trust. That is not Zach Lahn or Derek Wulf."

KOLO: Gas prices are soaring in the last week - and mortgage rates now topping seven percent
Reno Gazette-Journal: Nevada has paid $2.5 billion, or the equivalent of $2,053 per household, in tariffs this year
Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada -from driving up costs to leaving working families behind.
Since Joe Lombardo was quick to back Donald Trump's seeminglyendless war with Iran, Nevadans continue to struggle with record high gas prices climbing to over $5 a gallon and diesel prices soaring past $6 a gallon. Just this week, Reno's average regular gas price has climbed to about $5.31 a gallon, while diesel has reached a whopping $6.55, more than $2 higher than a year ago.
While Lombardo remains a "Doormat for Donald," Nevadans cite the economy and affordability as their top concerns -so it's no wonder that he's down in the polls. Thanks to Trump's endless war and tariffs that Lombardo backs every chance he gets, data shows that it's become too expensive to fly to Las Vegas, worsening the state's tourism crisis even more.
Here are the latest headlines on the Lombardo-Trump economy:
KLAS: Diesel prices are hitting record highs at a bad time for many US farmers
News Nation: It's becoming unaffordable to fly to Las Vegas, data suggests
KUNR: Reno gas prices top $5 a gallon as diesel reaches record high

DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:
"For twenty-five years, Americans have carried the painful memory of the September 11 attacks. Every day since, we as a nation have vowed to never forget those who were killed in New York, at the Pentagon, and on Flight 93. We have remembered the first responders and rescue workers who sacrificedtheir lives, and have stood with the families and loved ones of those who perished.
"In the weeks and months after the attacks, our nation came together with common purpose and unified resolve -- donating blood, providing humanitarian relief, and even joining the effort to clear the rubble at Ground Zero. It didn't matter where we lived, how we voted, or to whom we prayed. Americans stood together and lived up to our founding motto: out of many, one.
"Today, we must choose, once again, to stand with one another. We must continue to honor the lives that were lost, the service members and veterans who answered the call to protect our country in the years since, and the first responders and survivors who continue to face illness from toxic exposure."

Washington Post: Ohio Senate campaign staffer used Nazi soldiers as profile photo
* A top campaign staffer for Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) once used a photo of SS soldiers as his Facebook profile photo and recently added to a public playlist of songs celebrating Rhodesia, a defunct White-minority-ruled nation often venerated by white supremacists, according to publicly available social media activity.
* The staffer, 25-year-old Stephen Woytek, was tapped in August to serve as Husted's political director in the closely contested Senate race between Husted and former senator Sherrod Brown (D).
* The group shared photos linked to a Flickr account that appear to show Woytek wearing an SS uniform in February 2018 and marching in an area that is adorned with Nazi flags. Woytek would have been 16 at the time.
* Woytek follows several suppliers of SS military uniforms on Facebook, including one called Elsenau Militaria. An account with Woytek's name and photo created a Pinterest board in 2018 called "WWII Uniforms." The public Pinterest board's only two images appear to show Nazi uniforms.
* His social media presence also indicated a general interest in military history. On a Quora account bearing his name, Woytek answered questions about military history including Vietnam and the Blitz, and said he studied "conflicts throughout history as a passion." In a reply to a question about whether "anything good" happened under Hitler, Woytek replied in 2017 that Hitler started an anti-smoking campaign.
* In 2018, Woytek changed his Facebook profile photo to one identified online as real soldiers from the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler division in 1941. It is unclear how long he used that photo as his profile picture, which remained accessible on his account Friday. The photo shows the soldiers holding captured Soviet banners.
* In recent months, an account bearing Woytek's name and photo created a public Spotify playlist called "Tales From Rhodesia," which is captioned: "homesick for a place that no longer exists." (The playlist was made private on Friday.)
* Songs were added to the playlist as recently as last month, when "One Fire" was added. "Oh, Rhodesia I've given you my vow," the song says.
* The former British colony, where a small minority of White people ruled over a larger African population, has become a potent symbol to white supremacists. The man who attacked a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 posted a photo of himself wearing a Rhodesian flag patch and wrote white supremacist screeds on a website called The Last Rhodesian. The shooter at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, also wore a Rhodesia patch on his tactical vest when he killed three Black people in 2023.
* Some white supremacists have praised Rhodesia as an example of the superiority of having White people in charge and express nostalgia for those days. One of the songs on the playlist bearing Woytek's name, "Zimbabwe Ruins," describes trash "piling up" in the country and laments that: "Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones." The song also uses a slur to refer to African troops.
