New Jersey Dem Cast lead. Andy Kim won. The work to change our state & our party has only begun. Democracy is worth fighting for everywhere, every time.
Pinned
I’m not done.

I still believe in us.

I still believe in the promise & potential of this country.

I know democracy is always worth the work, the headache & the heartache.

I’m ready for the next round.

I will RESIST!

Who’s with me?

New Mexico approved a comprehensive probe of Epstein's Zorro Ranch.

The $2.5 million investigation, which has subpoena power, aims to close gaps in NM law that may have allowed Epstein to operate there.

They will start work today.

According to James Talarico, 47 had the FCC stop the airing of this interview of James Talarico by Stephen Colbert because he is afraid Texas will flip blue.

Let’s make sure everybody sees it!

Perfect advise for these times.

No. You vile POS. You have NOT been exonerated.
This is classic Trump(Hitler). Repeat a lie over & over until the masses are convinced it’s true.
Do not fall for bs.
Keep pushing. Keep talking about it.
Do not let up on Congress or the Epstein class of putrid humans.

Jesse Jackson, the nation’s most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of MLK & the election of Obama, died Tuesday at 84.

His family said in a statement that he “died peacefully”.
RIP, Mr. Jackson. Heaven has gained another warrior.

Just Like Closing Polling Sites

The U.S. State Dept's order for libraries to stop processing passport applications should be a bigger story.

Trump's regime says you should have a passport to vote, and shuts down the most accessible locations for applying for your passport?

We're not THAT naive!

The FBI confirms that the Epstein Class tortured & murdered children.
Trump wants us to just move on.
This is beyond the rape of children.
They tortured and murdered them too.
That’s seriously fucked up.
CONGRESS DO SOMETHING.
And what the fuck would these ruthless criminals know about "sensitive nature"?

The left-over MAGAts prove themselves to be increasingly ignorant... such suckers and fools.

Good Tuesday morning, friends!

RIP Jesse Jackson. He would've been one hell of a president. He much like so many other Black leaders was ahead of his time,and yt republicans hated that.

It's almost like yt republicans have always wanted America to fail. Bc they're pedos or pedo adjacent.

When offered the opportunity to apologize to Epstein victims for the DOJ’s disastrous handling of the Epstein files, AG Pam Bondi didn’t just decline; she sneered.

Bondi has victimized Epstein’s victims all over again

She owes survivors an apology & the truth
