By the way, the reason you should knock out the “Fuck red districts and red states” mentality?
Us. The loyal Democrats that do, in fact, reside in these states & districts.
We live here too, so fight for us at the basic minimum.
Don’t throw us out because we’re outnumbered and gerrymandered.

Casual reminder that Congress has the sole constitutional authority to declare war, not the president or his shadow presidents.

To ensure fair elections in 2026, we must stop the GOP’s voter suppression bill in the Senate. House Republicans have passed legislation that would restrict access to the ballot & end online and mail-in voter registration. Tell your senators to protect voting rights by rejecting this dangerous bill.
CALL NOW: Tell Your Senator to Vote NO on Legislation Silencing Americans

Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid and SNAP programs in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Unfortunately for the GOP, another congressional recess starts in two days. Our goal is to organize hundreds of rallies to keep turning up the heat on Republicans. Join us: indivisible.org/muskorus

Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Googling "did Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland generate great educational outcomes by removing their Departments of Education, or is there some other lesson the US could learn from them?"
Trump on the Department of Education: "We're gonna shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good. We want to return our students to the states."
