A solemn day in our nation’s history

Goroff for NY         Hi John,   19 years ago, I was in the lab at Stony Brook University with my students when we heard that the towers were hit. That day was surreal -- and one I won't ever forget.   There wasn't a cloud in the sky on that beautiful Septembe…

$28,500 more

Hi John,   When Donald Trump asked Lee Zeldin to speak at the Republican National Convention, we knew it was part of the GOP’s larger plan to defend their loyalist cheerleader in NY-01.    Zeldin has been one of Trump’s most trusted supporters in the House. He has served as the president’s …
