@mszafranski.bsky.social Now hearing from a top Franklin Co. Dem that Merrigan is angling to get his daughter Brady to run for 1st Franklin seat. This makes more sense given his age and the commute.

Trump flips off a Ford employee after being called a “pedophile protector.” Thin-skinned and profoundly unpresidential.

@andybeshearky.bsky.social Lets hope the DGA doesn't make a stupid mistake like this.
The @electdemocrats.bsky.social just hired a guy as their "rural engagement manager" who has worked for two House members from Chicago (hint, it ain't the boondocks) and is a greenhorn just three years out of college. This sadly is just more tokenism and identity politics from the D-trip.

@warren.senate.gov Oh Granny, you're such a hypocrite. You blast billionaire donors - the same corporate special interests that fund Rep. Richie Neal - who you called "the best partner in the world" on 7/22/18 in Great Barrington.

Therefore, the 1st response of Dems to instances like the MN fraud findings should not be to criticize the other side for attacking them & wave the bloody shirt of racism against Trump but rather to stress the seriousness of the problem & how it will not be tolerated www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/o...

Can't say I blame @klobuchar.senate.gov for looking at the governor's office. It's hard to see her becoming chair of Senate Ag Committee until sometime in her 70s given how tough it will be for Dems to flip the Senate in '26, '28 and '30.

@drmariahlancaster.bsky.social Didn't your clueless consultants tell you that your priorities page should include specific policy solutions you would pursue as a legislator instead of insulting MA-6 voters by just listing the problems they are already dealing with in their daily lives?

BLM weakens greater sage grouse protections across the West
The BLM decision noted that in 2015 under the Obama administration the agency didn’t go far enough in allowing development on some public lands.

And what if USFWS flushes the public comments down the toilet and goes ahead with closing refuges and hatcheries and selling them off to private development interests? I don't trust this administration to respect the process.

@peggyflanagan.bsky.social As you watch this, take note of all the BigAg corporate special interests who are funding Rep. Craig's campaign.
John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.
