I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

ACA tax credits keep health care costs down for millions—but they'll expire at the end of the year unless Republicans act.

Every House Democrat signed a discharge petition to extend them and stop premiums from skyrocketing. If just four Republicans join us, the House would vote.

This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

Only a few weeks before the 2024 election, my family visited Washington and encountered this incredible scene.

We all thanked this gentleman for lifting us all. He still does.

Trump may try to erase MLK and other heroes from history.

It will not work:

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just announced it will hear our case challenging President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

The complaint names Pete Hegseth as the perpetrator, saying he “was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza Medina and the murder of all those on such boats.” It also claims that Hegseth’s conduct was “ratified” by Trump.

This shows Democrats should contest every race, in all 50 states. Concede nothing. Gerrymandering wins again,. tonight, but the day will come when districts like this will be tinder for the fire.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

How does an amazing Congressional candidate like @bethmacy.bsky.social only have a few hundred followers??

Can we get her to 10k by Thanksgiving?
Beth Macy never thought she would run for Congress. But she knows democracy is on the line and couldn't resist the pleas of those who believe she's the only candidate who can beat the awful Ben Cline.

And if she flips this red seat in western Virginia, no more Speaker Johnson.
