My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

RBG refused to resign at age 83 and died at the end of Trump's term. He picked Barrett and 87-year-old Senate Judiciary head Dianne Feinstein didn't put up a fight. Now an 84-year-old Pelosi is pushing a 74-year-old with cancer to block the rise of a popular young progressive.

Democrats voting for 74-year-old Connolly. Doing anything to keep an old guard in power, refusing to change, refusing to meet the moment, refusing to pass the baton. Shameful shit.
We can do this. Tomorrow is the day. Do not give up early. Do not be discouraged! A close vote is what we needed here and that’s what we got.
Stay POSITIVE and PRAYERFUL and I will be working.

The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.
