In March, I stood my ground in the Texas legislature to fight Betsy DeVos’s school voucher schemes.
Now running for Congress at home in Michigan, I stand with @betoorourke.bsky.social @jamestalarico.bsky.social @ginaforaustin.bsky.social as they fight that legislature’s redistricting power grab.
@governor.ca.gov serves a #CupOfJoe that we all need.
“..standing firm & trying to hold the line on democracy. Our freedoms. Our liberties. Things that we can no longer take for granted.”
The MAGA movement is a regime that can & MUST be stopped by we, the people.
It's Sunday, so let’s give a shout out to R's who are doing the Lord's work by defending and covering up for a pedophile.
I guess since there's no commandment against it, they decided pedophilia is Jesus approved.

Trump isn't threatening Beyonce, Springsteen, Bono, and Oprah because he expects them to be charged with anything.
He is threatening them to intimidate others from speaking up. That is because Trump fears your voice; he fears the power of the people.
Speak up.
Stand strong.
Organize.
A clip from the Fox News Channel's terms of use says the company's services are "for your personal enjoyment and entertainment."
Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:
They're arresting Members of Congress.
Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.
Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
The GOP Tax Scam is exactly what it sounds like—a massive handout to the ultra-wealthy, paid for by slashing Medicaid and food aid. According to Trump’s own school, Wharton, the super-rich win and working families lose. It’s theft in plain sight.
"The fiscal problem that led to the downgrade would get worse because of the Republican’s megabill, which is the opposite of the line Trump and GOP leaders have brought to the public."

Up in the canopy, a Tawny Owlet keeps watch. 🦉
Owlets leave the nest before they can fly, clambering along branches on fluff and claws.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans.
Republicans want to cut it to fund their reckless agenda to give tax breaks to their wealthy donors.
Don't Cut Our Medicaid

P.S. If you think this was spontaneous, it wasn't. The amount of material @booker.senate.gov has researched and prepared is staggering. This is a coordinated effort and more of what we need to see from Dems.
Thank you! I’m praying for you!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
In his 21st hour holding the floor, Sen Cory Booker fiercely defends the soul of our nation. Awake, strong, & relentless, he's showing America exactly what leadership looks like—& why we must never surrender our rights or our values.
Fight on, Senator.
We're with you.💙

More than 20 hrs in, and Senator Corey Booker has given proof through the night that our flag is still there!
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE! ✊🏼
Thank you @booker.senate.gov 💙

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com
More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.
Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
Today’s a big day in Wisconsin. Remember to vote for Judge Susan Crawford and send Elon Musk a message: You can’t buy our democracy!
Taking care of our veterans will be my top priority from day one. I'm already forming a bipartisan task force of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, doctors, and nurses. Together, we'll focus on fixing the long VA wait times and other issues right here in Pensacola. Our VA should set the national standard for care. We owe this to our veterans. * GAY VALIMONT *** Vote Valimont by 7 PM

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."
