JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.

I’ve had the good fortune of missing these ads entirely. I can’t believe our tax dollars are funding this crap.

F*CK ICE‼️

On the Charlie Kirk show, Vought said federal firings could hit “north of 10,000” during the shutdown.

Companies lay people off to survive. This is different. He sounded like he’s enjoying the chance to fast-track his agenda. This isn’t about saving money, it’s about sabotaging the government.

From the vault: Mike Johnson said he’d take a blowtorch to the ACA.

Here’s the thing… 45% of marketplace enrollees are Republicans. Cool! So he’s threatening to burn the GOP’s own base. 🔥

Let's get @ginafortexas.bsky.social the attention she deserves.

She's running for governor of Texas.

She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)

Gina Hinojosa @ginafortexas.bsky.social · 12h

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

The trump-bought supreme court will hear a hugely consequential case on Wednesday —today— that will determine the future of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law designed to prevent discrimination in voting nationwide.

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

I dedicated my birthday to GOTV for YES ON PROP 50! It was a joy joining the Tri Counties Dem Club, @cademocrats.bsky.social, @lademocrats.bsky.social, & @grassrootsdemhq.bsky.social to canvass voters in Diamond Bar, CA! The canvass featured LACDP Chair Mark Ramos & LA Supv. @hildasolis.bsky.social!
