Make it make sense!!
“This means that a man who urged violence against police officers is now responsible for the department’s official effort to exact revenge against those who had tried to hold the rioters accountable.”

Call and apparently send faxes so they can’t shut off their phones and ignore you!!!
We are at the end of the line, we have now gotten the okay to call republicans even if they arent in your district. But start with your own state. @frost.house.gov also said that what could be even more powerful than calling is sending faxes because they might unplug their phone line,

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

My opponent recently shared his March Madness bracket. He's 100% worried about the wrong match.

In Congress, I'll fight to protect this community and lower costs.

He’ll head to D.C. to help Trump and Musk slash your Social Security and Medicare.

Three days out. Early voting begins. I’m a schoolteacher, not so different from you. Just someone trying to shape a future worth believing in.

I want my kids to grow up in a world where hard work means something. Where retirement is more than a distant, fraying dream.

Florida has TWO special elections on April 1st where we can work to take back the House. GET INVOLVED. VOLUNTEER #VoteBlue #VoteValimont #TogetherWeWin
The Congressional special elections are our opportunity to fix this!

The Democrats can win back 2 seats, meaning no more Speaker Johnson. If we win the 3rd seat in NY-21, we have Speaker Jeffries.

I’m Gay Valimont, and my race in FL-1 has national implications.

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec

These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

Let's check in on Senate Dems today and see how the whole fighter thing is going.

First, the good news:🔥 Every Dem voted NO on Vought's motion to proceed and on cloture on Bondi.

But there's bad news. 8 Dems just rubber-stamped Wright for Energy. 🚨

Y'all, it's just not that hard.
