Please consider volunteering or donating to this race in OC, California. It'd be so crazy to not put the effort in when she's only 2 pts away from getting on the ballot in polling. Most voters don't realize why it's super important to coalesce behind the top Democrat in polling. Please Volunteer!

@colorado.gov Don’t you dare commute the sentence Tina Peters received. Most don’t think the sentence was harsh enough. This was tantamount to treason, and she’s not even apologetic or remorseful. She won’t admit guilt. If she’s freed, she’ll do it again. Your legacy will be completely obliterated.

We’re not talking enough about what’s happening in Vermont. There’s no excuse for this brutality. None. Law enforcement has a right to do their job, but their job is to de-escalate, not assault people. Video credit: Itisu Siru

I wish blue state governors would band together and tell the feds that they will not give over any federal taxes until ICE is abolished and the rule of law is reinstated. See how well red states function without the funds from blue states.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Let this sink in: in a Tennessee district that Trump won by 22 points in 2024, Aftyn Behn, the Democratic candidate, has closed that gap by *20* points. Only 2 points separate her and her opponent. Republicans & Trump are running scared. All eyes on Tennessee.

@schumer.senate.gov we are so sick and tired of being betrayed by the Democratic Party. You always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. You should immediately step down as minority leader and every one of you “moderate Democrats” (Republican light) WILL be primaried.

Typical New Jersey. The Essex machine blocking out the name of a Dem candidate on their sample ballot because she’s not part of their clique. Bloomfield can take a big bite out of insider politics by showing up for Tracy & independents Joan Hussey & Jonathan Mejia by Tuesday!
Essex County Dem sample ballot with Democratic candidate, Tracy Toler-Phillips name blocked out.

Tracy’s FB post: When the Democratic party doesn't support true progressives who were voted in by the people. Candidates are allowed to primary incumbents. That is democracy.
How does this represent the 3,154 Bloomfield residents that voted for me in the primary?
Attacking progressives does not make the Democratic Party stronger. You can cover up my name, 6B by the way... but I will still serve the people of Bloomfield.Sample ballot showing where Tracy & independents are listed.

I’d like to know too. Has all this insane bullshit made anyone’s life better? Answer: NO - HELL NO. #Pinks #WorstPresidentEver #25thAmendmentNow
i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question: it's been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better? have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier? has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?

🛑 Jack Ciattarelli didn’t flinch when democracy was under attack Jan 6. He didn’t condemn the violence nor the lies that fueled it. Instead, he stood by Trump, echoed his rhetoric & refused to hold him accountable. Ciattarelli doubled down. That’s dangerous, not principled #VoteNJ for Mikie Sherrill

Trump act of ordering 8 military jets to perform a low-pass flyover during the Epstein victims' press conference is a DARVO surrogate. It's a form of gaslighting. It's an act of intimidation. It's an admission of guilt.
