SCAMS, PHISHING ALERTS

***REPORTS OF SCAMMERS, PANHANDLERS DRESSED AS "HANDMAIDENS" ALLEGEDLY COLLECTING FOR "LOCAL FOOD PANTRY" AND SOME SORT OF "STOP TRUMP" endeavor yesterday at Foodtown....... THIS DID NOT LOOK LEGITIMATE but as always do you your own due diligence should you encounter these folks.  One reader said she attempted to get the name of the food pantry being collected for and the alleged "STOP TRUMP" initiative and was "brushed off". In any case, this group appeared to be gone for whatever reason by the time she finished shopping.

YONKERS TIMES--CALLING ALL INDEPENDENT AND UNDECIDED VOTERS--LAWLER GETS PROBLEM SOLVER SEAL FROM NO LABELS

No Labels awarded its Problem Solver Seal to U.S. Representative Mike Lawler (NY-17), recognizing his record of working across party lines and his willingness to pursue bipartisan solutions to the country’s challenges.

The Problem Solver Seal recognizes leaders committed to putting country over party, championing commonsense two-party solutions, and engaging regularly in No Labels-hosted bipartisan meetings. It reflects a belief that effective government depends on leaders who can build trust across political differences and turn common ground into action. It is a designation—not a formal party endorsement—awarded to political candidates and elected officials who commit to working across the aisle and supporting No Labels’ national agenda.  MORE AT Calling All Independent and Undecided Voters in NY-17-Lawler Gets Problem Solver Seal from No Labels | Yonkers Times
