America has a dictator who loots the government for his private gain, locks up his opposition and launches dubious military strikes without any oversight.

Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."

day 2 of early voting in TX and @houstonchronicle.com still has the paywall up on their voter guide. providing free access to the voter guide is the absolute bare minimum of your responsibility to the community you serve. houston deserves better than this

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Trump Lies @trumplies.bsky.social · 1d

Republicans refuse to restore $30 billion to the budget to keep healthcare affordable for millions of Americans. Too expensive they say.
On a whim, Trump pulls $40 billion out of thin air to send to his far-right buddy in Argentina. Congress is not even consulted. Not a peep from the GOP.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.
