Last night, I kicked-off a statewide phonebank to Get Out The Vote for our special elections on April 1 for @gayforcongress.bsky.social & @joshweil.bsky.social. Republicans know their billionaire takeover is unpopular & they’re scared that voters are showing up to stop them. Let’s prove them right.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The debt itself is not the emergency. Inequality is. And DOGE is cutting programs for the poor to clear the way for Trump’s tax cuts for corporations and the rich, making it worse.
DOGE is a transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. See it for what it is.
