The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

I'm sorry, this is just total BS. Obama was not trying to destroy the rule of law in the US and the international order that kept us safe from World War II until 2025. He was not shoveling money into his own pockets. He was not murdering our neighbors. This bothsidesing shows utter moral bankruptcy.

It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”

Spent some time in Ocean Springs this afternoon talking with seniors about healthcare, the economy and the need for more accountability in Washington. We covered some important issues — and finished with a little ice cream. 🍦 A pretty sweet afternoon! #MississippiMatters

Cindy Hyde-Smith is supported by fertilizer companies ripping off farmers, millions from a pro-AI super PAC pushing for costly data center development and everything in between. It's pretty clear who she answers to. As senator, the only people I'll owe anything to are the people of Mississippi.

6. By six votes. Don't think for one second your vote doesn't matter. Your vote could be the difference between decent, thoughtful, smart representation and whatever messed up plan the Republican party has in mind. Friends and family and Iowa? Give 'em a call. Let them know what you know.

He's on my list of candidates that can/should flip an R seat to D or I. Everyone who can needs to donate/volunteer/spread the word about them. They are all top flight and an excellent fit for their state/district.
