"Every time I log on ... inevitably someone has dropped into my comments with things like 'there isn’t going to be an election in 2026!'...

What I know when I read comments like that is that the people writing them are doing nothing to fight back."

If Republicans get their way, hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down.

People will die and they think that we will "get over it" #VoteNO

Please tell your fellow democrats to stop wasting time harassing their own and to start fighting the real problems. It's getting embarrassing.
Thank you,

It goes deeper than that. Joseph Coors was an architect of Project 2025. coloradonewsline.com/2024/07/25/p...

If you're worried about Project 2025, blame this Coloradan | Colorado Newsline

The Heritage Foundation's formidable legacy of influence can be traced back to a person whose name is well known to Coloradans: Coors.

The more this procedural vote gets delayed, the likelier the final vote - and its eventual headlines - gets pushed to Monday.

Yes it’s summer, but people still pay a lot more attention to the news on a Monday than on a weekend.

We are now beyond the 3 hour mark on this vote. Still 50-47.

Fox Takedown site has posters, verbiage, hand outs, advice. Everything you need to get started.

We need these going in every market that has a Fox affiliate. They’re all paying money to Murdoch. A Russian backed disinformation operative attacking our democracy.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

Evan Greer @evangreer.bsky.social · Jun 16

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

for my birthday you can also rank mamdani first and not rank cuomo at all, or find a friend/group to canvass with! I'm heading out this weekend to canvass one way or another!

Over the next 8 days, you won't be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a YouTube video without seeing a lie about our campaign.

But we have the people.

And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.

Just a refresher:

Under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated by Obama, Iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and allow continuous monitoring of its compliance in exchange for relief from economic sanctions.

Monday morning everybody needs to call their reps!!

Pick your topic but the window is now. Slashes to Medicaid, science and education. Deportation tactics. Tax cuts for the wealthy. The cost of the wasteful birthday parade that was unattended. Pick one.

But for the love of god please call MONDAY!

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people.

Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

I’m standing between two people holding one of their protest signs which reads, “I POUR MY COCKTAILS SERVED UP — NO ICE!!!”

A man in a flannel shirt holds a sign with “8647” between his parents who are sitting in mobility aids. Their signs read “GRANDMA’S PISSED OFF!” and “DUE PROCESS FOR ALL!”

Ben and I talk to a man in a mobility aid with a sign reading “Cutting Medicare and Medicaid WILL KILL people like me!”
