Can your senator. No matter who they are.
Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.

Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.

Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

Yes, an important test for the midterms.
If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.
