Today’s violent attack is an example of why Congress should take up my bill, the Stop the Settlements Act, which would impose sanctions on anyone looking to take Palestinian land.

I am in politics because @indivisible.org demanded the Senate deny unanimous consent in February of 2025. They are capable of bold, effective action. But like Congress, they are choosing not to take it. The problem is, they want everyone else quiet too. Here's how they tried to silence Montana.

Good for Alani Bankhead. She was set up by donors to drop out of the race the moment she won the primary, and she refused to. Bodnar should have run as a Dem. Glad Bankhead has a spine. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Horrible take, Molly. Bodnar’s administration at UM retaliated against rape survivors; his staff sued him for discrimination; he fired firms who bribed voters and forged signatures to get him on the ballot; he’s supported by millions in dark money; he has no values other than the pursuit of power.

On Putin's birthday, moreover, Trump gave him: (1) an end to sanctions; (2) a drawdown of US troops defending NATO; and (3) a sleazy, super corrupt LUKoil deal—and this is just what we know so far.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

New Pew poll has Trump's approval at 30% (!) 68% of the country disapproves of him. Lowest in his second term, at January 6 levels. *31%* of Trump 2024 voters now disapprove of him.
Trump's approval rating continues to drop
Three-in-ten Americans now say they approve of Trump's handling of his job as president, while 68% disapprove - down 4 percentage points from July and his lowest approval rating of his second term.
Trump's approval rating drops to 30% - on par with his rating prior to leaving office in January 2021

*chart showing his sinking approval ratings, compared alongside his first term*

Much of this decline in his approval ratings over the course of his term is among Trump's own 2024 voters - 67% of validated Trump 2024 voters approve of his job performance today while 31% disapprove. At the beginning of his term, 95% approved.

Bodnar helped cover up rape at UM, with female students reporting they were threatened by the administration if they tried to make reports of rape. He made a campaign ad calling himself “so hot” and claiming students on campus called him “daddy bod”. He wont hold the Epstein criminals accountable.
