Anyone who is trying to decide between Gov Mills or Graham Platner in the Maine primary, please read through these 🧵s before you make up your mind. There are things the media is downplaying or not mentioning that Collins will definitely exploit in far worse attack ads. Current polls are inaccurate.

Senate Democrats voted multiple times to fund TSA separately from ICE. Republicans voted it down every time. Republicans are to blame for today’s airport chaos — all because they’re happy to keep letting Trump’s thugs terrorize our communities with no consequences. Remember this.

I can’t believe folks are still pretending to be shocked by Fetterman. Maybe they should get over being shocked and do their best to not do it again. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Hell yes I’m looking at you folks in Maine.

Since Twitter is id’ing the women in Gov. Mills’ new ad that Blackwater Oyster Boy’s consultants are crying about, just feel the need to say that if your response to an ad about a guy being a victim-blaming rape apologist is to go after the women in the video you belong on a list.

Susan Collins has gotten all too comfortable staying silent as the President takes a wrecking ball to our Constitution. This moment demands someone who will fight back. I've stood up to him before, and I'm not afraid to do it again in the Senate.

Since the doofus in the White House and those misogynistic hockey men were making fun of the women hockey team who also won the gold and have been significantly better than the men for a good while… It’s a good time to remind menfolk it’s women who carry the gold load for the nation…

I’m turning this into a consecutive 🧵 to make it easier to show people who are being bamboozled by the current ICE funding being debated: The current funding is a pitiful drop in the $183 mil per month ICE *already* is guaranteed through 2029. Republicans are banking on you not knowing that. 🧵:

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

So many people complain about how Jeffries is terrible at his job, but I think most of those people don’t actually understand what his job is… 1/
Actually imagine that AOC is Minority Leader.

Her job, in this scenario is to get all Dems to vote against more funding for ICE.

Do you think her arguments will convince Henry Cuellar? How about Vicente Gonzalez? How about Republicans? Think her arguments convince Brian Fitzpatrick or Mike Lawler to vote with us? And if they did, do you think you’d like her much after?

THAT is the job of Dem House Leadership, especially the whip and leader.

And Hakeem Jeffries and Katherine Clark are pretty damn good at it. They have kept the caucus together time and time again. That is because they are able to talk to more conservative Democrats the same way they are able to talk to Progressives and because they pick their battles and don’t make more combative members feel like they have no agency.

There’s a reason you don’t hear much from the Progressives, in congress, calling out Jeffries, because they could not do better. Now, you might not like what he says in a press conference, or how his digital staff words something on social media, but that’s a small fraction of the job of Minority Leader.

There’s a reason that Indivisible co-founders, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, say that if you want to make a different you have to call YOUR member, not leadership.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Yup. Exactly. Democrats are the parents who stayed to take care of the kids, and do the best they can, without alimony, child support, or a decent paying job. Republicans are the dead beats who show up maybe a couple times a year, lie, never pay bills, and get the kids to blame the parent who stayed

Republicans voted to originally kill the ACA subsidies in their Bad Betrayal Bill. 100% of Democrats voted against it. It still passed. Republicans voted to completely repeal the ACA 70+ times (failing thanks to Dem solidarity). Your healthcare costs skyrocketing is ENTIRELY due to the GOP.
