In a recent post, Ed Surgan paraphrased an article he claims was from Newsday about the “No Kings” rally: “Demonstrators were concerned with cuts to Medicare, government job cuts and free speech. While the first two may be legitimate differences over policy, they pose no threat to democracy.” Here is an actual quote from Newsday: “Thousands of protesters at more than a dozen locations from Port Washington to East Hampton rallied Saturday to denounce what they view as an increasingly authoritarian regime under the Trump administration. … Dozens of protesters interviewed in Mineola, Port Jefferson and Patchogue voiced concern over ...

Perhaps to close out the discussion of the Working Families Party candidates, local voters should be aware of what happened during the primary election earlier this year. I work as a poll official in Westhampton Beach, and we had a total of eight voters come in to cast ballots all day. None of them was a registered Working Families Party voter. And so, although they were well meaning, we had to turn them away, thanking them nonetheless for trying to exercise their right to vote.

The format called for the audience to ask questions of the panelists, unlike prior Express Sessions, where preprepared subjects were given to the panel by the moderator for comment.

Mr. LaRocca suggested that the review boards were working in ...

To John Neely [“Get Facts Right,” Letters, October 23], thank you for your comments. I’ll try to address them briefly. James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper seriously damaged the United States’ reputation for fairness and justice. They have been exposed for using politically motivated lies to subvert our presidency. There is plenty of evidence to back up my argument. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to convict, due to legal statutes of limitation. Your comments about the affordability of health care, housing, etc. are problems directly attributable to the obscene amounts of money Democrats flooded our economy with during COVID. ...
