Thank you Jacob! One location I protest, a MAGA follows unsuspecting protesters with a camera and pretends he is independent. Then he posts his videos, edited on his YouTube channel (Dem Rats is what he calls it). If ppl don’t engage, he tries to provoke them.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Like @nicollewallace.bsky.social said yesterday, I hope we start seeing Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, Chris Wray and all others regularly. Lots of Americans, myself included, are doing everything they can to turn this ship around.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:

Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.

Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

6/ Sure the House isn't here so Rs don't have to explain why they want premiums to go up and why they want to fund Trump's corruption.

But also because they don't want to swear in member-elect Adelita Grijalva. Since she would be the deciding vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.
