Trisha Calvarese is running to unseat Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. That in itself is a noble objective, but she also plans to fight for affordability and protecting the benefits Coloradans worked hard for.

Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

Bondi, the head of our DOJ is actively covering up an international sex-trafficking ring. It shouldn’t be a partisan issue when children are being harmed.

MAGA is determined to run every states’ voter rolls through a “DOGE”-connected voter purge system with an insanely high “error” rate. Wonder why.
😳 The “SAVE” system at the heart of the GOP’s Save America Act was “expanded” by DOGE & the DHS to “check the citizenship status of all U.S. citizens w/o providing info on how this was accomplished or the accuracy of the resulting tools. Early reports suggest an error rate as high as 17%” 8/2025 1/

How many do not have the resources to go through all of this as women? I am lucky enough to have a passport with my married name. $130. That’s a poll tax. How many women/others cannot afford the 1st app(has to be done in person)?This is voter suppression. I wish more people saw and understood that.

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs.

He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials.

Okay this is a great message and all but he follows up the "trans people are 1% of the population" thing by saying "undocumented people are 1% of the population" and I'm here to pedantically say no, actually, they're a bit over 4% of the population.

Now, it appears he will intervene in this year’s midterms on his own by issuing an Executive Order to help facilitate voter-ID implementation.
