OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

She needs to get into Congress to do that.
You know Van Epps will exploit any war situation.

Stripping away hard-fought benefits from those who dedicated their lives to our communities isn’t “fiscal responsibility”—it’s a cruel betrayal. New Jersey deserves leaders who respect workers, not politicians who balance budgets on the backs of retirees.

I do wish I knew how people are not suspicious of someone telling them to have an enemy which has been created strictly to divide folks from their votes and taxpayer dollars!

If you don't want to Vote Blue, that is your choice, please don't disenfranchise the vote on my timeline here.
Election Laws must change Yes
Will they under this Administration? No
Voting Blue means we can push for increasingly Progressive policies.
I don't see an alternative just now.

Mamdani's showing the way to win elections without AIPAC. Until we have a Blue House and Senate no change can happen.
And might not happen overnight, but if we dont vote Blue now we might not be able to vote again. It will take more than one election cycle to get $$$ out of politics. Mikie's Great!

#Trump is following the authoritarian playbook by the letter.

It is rumored that he plans to invoke the insurrection act and he is already trying normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies.

Call to Action. If you are in a blue state, make sure you are leaving everything on the field to keep it that way. Not even kidding here.

If you are in a purple or red state, y’all it’s time. Full court press. Leave no eligible voter un contacted.

Every. Single. Vote. Every. Single. Seat.
