Don’t let anyone tell you Democrats have to compromise their progressive values to win over Trump voters and other Republicans.
Talarico is proving every day that more is possible than we may have previously thought.

James Talarico: I got elected by flipping a Trump district. I've been able to pass bills to help bring down the cost of childcare, bring down the cost of housing, bring down prescription drug costs, and pass the first-ever cap on insulin in Texas history

They want our kids dead.
Brown University is the latest proof.
After Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Uvalde, Trump and the GOP weakened gun laws and flooded the country with weapons. Most shooters used legal guns, under laws Republicans defend.
This isn’t failure — it’s policy. READ MORE ⬇️

Every time I’m outraged at the shit that goes on in this country nothing comes close to the hate I feel every Dec 13th. (Sandy Hook massacre) The moral high ground the Rs take is BS. The fake outrage is a joke. Rs…Go to hell!

It is just so ridiculous. Mother Teresa would not get this level of attention. We had troops die who served our country that did not get lowered flags and nonsense. She was married to a third rate bigoted blogger. I feel like we are being punked.

As I sit here in CT getting ready to mark 13 yrs since Sandy hook tomorrow and remembering that day finding out while I was teaching, I am sickened hearing about what’s happening at Brown. I hate this country for loving guns more than children. F* gun advocates and their pro-life hypocrisy

A mass shooting has occurred at Brown University.
Students received a text message reminding them to “run, hide or fight”.
This is America.
Remember this when Erika Kirk cried crocodile tears on her CBS Town Hall.
Remember Charlie saying children dying was an “acceptable price to pay”

Why isn’t the media screaming about his declining physical and mental health. I’m looking specifically at you Jake Tapper. Why aren’t you talking about the coverup. Couldn’t stop when it was Joe!

White House argues ASL interpretation at press briefings would "intrude on the President's prerogative to control his image." Translation: deaf Americans don't deserve equal access because accommodating disabilities damages Trump's brand. This isn't policy it's eugenics with a PR team.

The Democratic Party’s work:
Do you say you can’t stand these “socialist” policies? Yet, you benefit from them.
Now the other party is taking them away, do you happily trade off these policies for the joy of owning the libs?
