The Odessa File -- A group of about 100 people gathered Monday at Lafayette Park in Watkins Glen to protest the actions of Donald Trump and his administration. The group, waving signs alongside Fourth Street on the park's northern edge, elicited many honks and friendly waves from passing motorists, along with some not so friendly responses. The protest, one of a series of several in the region in recent months, was organized by the Schuyler County Democratic Committee and the Twin Tiers chapter of the 50501 movement.

“Too many communities in Upstate New York have been left out and left behind for generations — I'm fighting to bring them back,” Governor Hochul said. “This new ON-RAMP center in Syracuse will be a critical part of the new I-90 advanced manufacturing corridor, giving New Yorkers the skills and training necessary for a good-paying job. New Yorkers are already seeing the benefits of our economic development strategy: good-paying jobs, revitalized communities and more money in their pockets.” <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-major-workforce-development-milestone-selection-first-flagship-ramp#:~:text=March%2028%2C%202025-,Governor%20Hochul%20Announces%20Major%20Workforce%20Development%20Milestone%20With%20Selection%20of,ON%2DRAMP%20Site%20in%20Syracuse&amp;text=Governor%20Kathy%20Hochul%20today%20announced,ON%2DRAMP%20Workforce%20Innovation%20Hub." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More.</a>

USA TODAY -- ...There is a frustration growing in rural America and a willingness to be identified as a Democrat that they haven't seen in years, several progressive and Democratic organizing groups told USA TODAY. Building relationships and setting the narrative now is key, they said.“The frustration with Republicans is palpable,” Hildreth said.&nbsp;“Maybe we never get the MAGA voters ‒ we probably never will ‒ but there’s a ton of independents out there looking at this and just saying, ‘man, this isn’t what I voted for.’”&nbsp;The frustration he's hearing from rural communities is about how many of the changes brought by the Trump administration are hitting at once.Rural economies are more likely to rely on a single industry that have a strong connection to federal funding like farming, colleges or health care; all of which have seen changes in the last eight months. They've seen a freeze on farm subsidies as well as an end to public land revenue and clean energy subsidies. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/03/rural-organizers-democrats-medicaid-hospitals-snap-cuts/85312275007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">More</a>

USA Today -- “Folks are especially worried about how that’s going to impact them at the local level,” he said. They're particularly "outraged," he said, about cuts to food stamps and Medicaid and the likely damage to rural hospitals. “Folks should be aware of&nbsp;what the impact ‒ immediate&nbsp;and not ‒ will&nbsp;be on them and they should know who brought that impact to their community; who brought it home to them." <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/03/rural-organizers-democrats-medicaid-hospitals-snap-cuts/85312275007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">More.</a>

The USDA has canceled funding through the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA) and the Local Food for Schools Cooperative Agreement Program (LFS). These programs allow state, territorial, and Tribal governments to purchase food from American farmers to be distributed to food banks, schools, and child care centers across the country. In New York, cancellation of LFPA and LFS funding puts more than $63 million for food purchases at risk in Fiscal Year 2025.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/release/senator-gillibrand-demands-usda-reverse-1-billion-in-canceled-funding-for-local-food-purchases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More.</a>

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge agreed Friday to block the Trump administration from dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that was targeted for mass firings before the court’s intervention.CFPB is responsible for protecting consumers from financial fraud and deceptive practices. It processes consumer complaints and examines banks to protect student loan borrowers. Plaintiffs’ attorneys argue that the administration doesn’t have the constitutional authority to eliminate an agency that Congress created by statute. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-consumer-financial-protection-bureau-d091cfb0794813e40098a40e00a6d1c2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More</a>.

WASHINGTON (USA Today)− A federal judge ordered the Trump administration Friday to stop dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, setting up another showdown in the courts over whether the executive or legislative branches determines spending priorities.But the National Treasury Employees Union fought what it called sweeping efforts to lay off agency workers and effectively abolish the agency that aims to protect consumers from banks. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/28/trump-consumer-financial-protection-bureau-cfpb-judge/82710590007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">More.</a>
