🚨Rumors are flying around the Richmond/Chesterfield Co., Va. area right now, about the “firehouse caucus” for SD 15 being scheduled for Sunday, December 7th. No official notice has been issued yet; but, apparently the local committees have been notified.

Stay tuned.

Incredible energy on @aftynbehn.bsky.social GOTV call.
@democrats.org should find a way to run calls like this monthly, then weekly because people need community and inspiration!

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

I hope enterprising DC reporters ask ‘Why aren’t flags at half staff for Sarah Beckstrom’ at every press briefing this week. Bonus points if they add ‘like they were for Charlie Kirk.’

SWFL has seen almost non-stop ICE raids affecting our neighbors. Today, an 18yo American citizen was arrested on trumped up charges when they pulled over the van his father was driving. I’m asking folks to help us bond this young man out and help his family.

I took my own advice and searched for gift cards I had secreted in various ‘safe places’ in my house and checked balances.
Gift card issuers could make old people’s lives easier by printing numbers in a larger font!
Loaded them onto online accounts so I can work on using them up.
Use $ you have!

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

The House will return for three weeks of grueling work before year end - actually about 12 days, maybe 10.5 because they fly in on Monday or 9 because they leave by noon on Thursday.

Will they Vacate Mike Johnson out of a job?

How many Republicans will follow Margie Greene and retire?

Fired. Investigated. Silenced. Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Donald Trump — from federal workers and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. It’s the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

I watched the House floor debates yesterday on the Rules for this week‘s bills - none of which relate to Appropriations - and the Epstein files resolution.
Since most people don’t have that luxury, here are some interesting facts.

If you haven't voted yet in the special election for #TN07, it would be a good time right now to make a plan to vote for this woman below and get the Dems one step closer to taking back the majority in the House. Early voting will end next week, so let's run up the score!
TN-07, you’ve got one week left to vote early for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

Jamal Khashoggi's widow: I did feel disappointed by Trump describing my husband in this way and justifying the crime. There is nothing to justify the crime. And he's taking away, as well, the freedom for journalists to ask a question. What is the difference then between the US and any dictatorship?

I cancelled my WaPo subscription over some egregious action from them, so I can’t check for myself.
But I am curious how they are reporting on their reporter’s killer being invited to the White House.

For those looking for practical Christmas gifts, this thread has great ideas on assembling a car emergency kit.
Even if the budget stretches to just 1 or 2 items, a crate/box (dollar store) to contain them, maybe one item, plus the list is good.
If you can, try to keep a blanket in your car for emergencies. You just never know.
