This is an American precedent worth fighting for.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Roy, quit trying to look like an angry conservative. It might freeze like that.

Will it work on Resident Rump?

Are we trying to undermine our own Democratic candidates? She now has name recognition and the same favorable military background as Sherrill in NJ and Spanberger in VA, both favored to win. Rather than knocking Dems you don't like, how about just advocating for an alternative instead?

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Resident Rump is delusional, dysfunctional, and easily dismissed when he says things like that "Portland is burning to the ground". We need to 25th Amendment this dangerous person.

Trump on Portland ruling: I wasn’t served well by the people who pick judges. I appointed the judge and it goes like that. If he made that decision—Portland is burning to the ground… all you have to do is look at the TV and read your newspapers.

That judge ought to be ashamed of himself

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

I've read that the Doordasher was age 69. And the Republican Governor and Lt Governor are blaming the Dem Mayor when it's likely that Sanchez was the problem.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.

To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Hey, did you know my friend Fred is running for Congress?

This is very good news!

Fred Wellman @fpwellman.bsky.social · 7d

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...
