By most accounts today, America was defeated by #Iran

I’m not running for Congress anymore, but I still think Congress should be able to stand up to this

Today’s the day California! Let’s vote for a new generation of folks to change things up!

I've talked to thousands of voters over the past year and they are really, really sick of the status quo. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Now that I'm inside the machine I have seen firsthand how getting big money out of politics will automatically solve a hundred other things. Just because something is a tough fight doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile. Time for change, folks. @couragefordemocracy.com

Thank you Bay Area Reporter for this profile. We discussed my vision for the future of democracy and California Congressional District 37, the power of electing outsiders to Congress, and lots more! www.ebar.com/story/166681

“We just have to wait to take back the House in two years” was not the right response to the last two years

Time for a little tough love. I live DTLA and half of downtown is in the district I am running to represent. A lot of federal funding comes via Congress w/ few outcomes to show for it. Voters are demanding politicians fix this mess. I've got plans to fix it. Let's go. archive.is/SbLGg

We don't want anymore of this.

Someone asked me today: so what would YOU do if you were in Congress right now? Not being in power is not an excuse to do nothing. Here was my answer.

Seriously, what is happening here. I talk to voters every day and they don’t care about this shit.

A permanent scar to remind us of the damage our democracy could not stop. We're going have to rethink a lot of things about our country to make sure this never happens again. #CA37

Todd Lombardo for Congress @toddicus.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
This ain’t happening when I get there. What will happen is a vote to impeach on day one, a vote for term limits, and a vote to ban stock trading. For starters. #ca37

On the left, NYT normalizing Trump in 2015, helping him become president. On the right, NYT normalizing Tucker Carlson today, helping him on his path to running for president. Our media & the rest of the political elite do not get that they have a hand in creating outcomes we all must live with.

Trump is weak and easy to stand up to.

Todd Lombardo for Congress @toddicus.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
This is what bothsidesism gets us. On the left, Comey indicted for seashells. On the right, Donald Trump's "harmless" post about Joe Biden.

"Americans’ approval of Congress has fallen to 10%." Yikes. #CA37 news.gallup.com/poll/708722/...

I'm running for Congress and these are an easy YES for me: 👉YES to term limits 👉YES to banning stock trading 👉YES to overturning Citizens United 👉YES to vote to impeach on Day 1 And now I am grateful to have an endorsement from @couragefordemocracy.com! So glad to be a part of the crew. #CA37

Every single headline currently on NYT is due to the moronic idiocy of one man who Congress should be able to stand up to. #CA37

Yes. We should all be equal in the eyes of democracy whether we have one dollar or one billion @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

I just keep imagining a Congress that stopped this in 2017 or 2021 or 2024 or 2025 or 2026 or last week. Maybe my standards are too high. #CA37

I think now would be a good time for Congress to return from vacation

The strait was already open, the service men were still alive, and gas prices were lower before this guy decided to invade Iran. Now imagine a Congress that had stopped this. #ca37 #Iran

I will vote to impeach this MF on Day 1. #ca37 #trump

I will vote to fund a new American dream for the 21st-century that includes getting an education, finding a job, and buying a home, not unnecessary wars. That will be the power of Congress when we send new folks to it. #ca37 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Why I'm running for Congress, reason #317. Democrats do not understand that it's a five-alarm fire. I do. Time for a new generation! #Ca37

Todd Lombardo for Congress @toddicus.bsky.social · 31/03/2026
Of course Trump didn't, because it's not his house. Congress should have played a role in stopping this, and when I get there, it will. #CA37 #eastwing

💯. We need a new generation of leaders from the outside who can re-imagine our democracy for the 21st century. It’s why I’m running. #ca37

If you want young voters to be fans of democracy, you’ve got to show them that democracy can work. This is why I’m running: because we need new leaders to re-imagine our government for everyone pursuing a dream. #ca37 #genZ

There's a big difference between an individual voter giving $50 to a candidate they believe in and the below. The first thing is ok. The below is not and I am running for Congress to change it. #ca37

The far greater risk to democracy is people like Elon being able to give Donald $250 million to win the presidency. Too many rich people have too much power and when I get to Congress that's going to change. #ca37 #elonmusk

This is why Congress taking back its “power of the purse” is so critical. So we can allocate your tax dollars to help you. #ca37 #iran *PS it’s $1.9 billion per day.

The “we” in the first sentence is giant oil companies. #ca37 #iran

"Congress is just a rubber stamp for whatever a president tells them to do." And that's why it has to change. #ca37 #congress www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

The data is on our side: Trump is bad for our country. That alone should be enough to stand up to this administration. #ca37

Oil prices spike, unemployment rises, Dow tanks. There are consequences to a Congress giving away its power. We're going to fix this when we elect a new generation of Democrats this fall. Let's go #CA37. #IranWar

Todd Lombardo for Congress @toddicus.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Now imagine a new Congress that stands up to the Executive Branch, because that's what's coming. "Trump taxes w/o Congress, disbursed funds to farmers w/o Congress, took a stake in corporations w/o Congress, brazenly broke anti-corruption laws despite Congress..." #ca37 archive.is/uRmKe#select...
