They tear-gassed kids last week.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

Rural Washington will be hit particularly hard when federal SNAP benefits stop.

In Yakima County, for example, 28% of residents rely on SNAP — the highest percentage of any county.

This week, I announced that I’ll be directing $2.2 million per week to support food banks.

Can’t wait to see more of you on social media and promote your candidacy. I think you’re correct to focus on campaign finance reform. For our area that is a very bipartisan issue, but we must maintain our voting rights and our mail in ballots

"Not only is Donald Trump not here, not negotiating, Mike Johnson has now shut down the House for 39 consecutive days. There's no one to negotiate with. Across town, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom while he is set to let Americans starve."

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”

And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?

I think that you may compete for some of the same voters, but I don’t think any Trump voters will vote for a Democrat no matter how bad things get. Unless you have really compelling messaging. So it’s cool. We’re gonna have a choice!

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

OK, I found you on Instagram and Facebook and I’m waiting for more. I manage several progressive groups on FB and I can’t wait to share your campaign platform with them. Several in our group are on Twitter still - I can’t bear to do that but it’s good that you still can

OK, I had to fake a profile to get back into LinkedIn since I’ve forgotten my password but I really like what I’m seeing there because while I’m a former software build engineer and I understand what it takes to think hard and make code so I want to know more about your strategy…

Natural Radical @naturalradical.bsky.social · 6d

Hey, we would also all like to see a video of you speaking about some of your major points, like the campaign finance reform and maybe some farm policy also school lunches, healthcare, etc. Just a one minute video we wanna see if you can stand up to the slick talking politicians back east.😄
