ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC OFFICE HOLDERS.
EXPLAIN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT THE GOP WANTS TO TAKE AWAY FROM THEM. Tell them that they don't want to renew protections & subsidies that are provided in healthcare. That their insurance premiums will go up 150% a month. That's why y'all are fighting them!

At our town hall on Friday, hundreds turned out asking the same questions we're all asking: Will we get paid? Will we keep our healthcare? Will our democracy survive this chaos?
I hear you. I see you. And that is why we are fighting to protect our democracy and our communities.

TRUTH HOWEVER :
The ADL reports that FAR-RIGHT extremists committed 75% of extremist murders. FBI backs it up. THAT is the statistical fact.

JD Vance & Stephen Miller, your call to bring the weight of the federal government down on left-wing networks is chilling for those of us who care about free speech & echoes the Palmer raids & Red Scare of 1919 for students of American history. A dark day.

I work for the FAA. I got an aviation degree specifically to get into the FAA. Sure, union work was a factor, but really, it's because I truly love aviation. I love airplanes and the people who make them possible, but mostly, I love aviation safety.

We know Trump & Elon are corrupt. We’ve learned even more in the past 48 hours:
🚙 Trump’s State Department tried to funnel $400 million to Tesla.
💰 Elon received $38 billion in government contracts, loans, & tax credits.
🛰️ The FAA gave a contract to Elon’s company Starlink, worth billions.

The last person you want as FBI Director is Kash Patel.
It’s a position of immense, at times unreviewable, power.
And in addition to being dishonest, untrustworthy, and utterly lacking in character – he will do anything in the service of Donald Trump. Anything.

Kash Patel is motivated by political revenge, not delivering justice. His book names an "enemies list" and he's publicly threatened media figures and political opponents with jail time. This is not the kind of leadership we need.
