NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

It was truly an honor to spend the final Sunday morning of this long campaign at Harlem's First Corinthian Baptist Church.

My deepest thanks to Pastor Walrond, First Lady Rev. Dr. Lakeesha Walrond and the entire congregation for the opportunity and welcome.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.

They run the White House.

They run the Senate.

They run the House.

And some say, they run SCOTUS.

And now the government’s shut down.

Don’t let them gaslight you (and they are trying as hard as they can,) this isn’t anyone else’s fault.

When you hold all the power, you own the consequences.

California is crushing it with #YesOnProp50!

The 5 Dem seats CA creates are better than the 5 GOP seats that TX created.

IN ADDITION, Prop 50 strengthens 5 Frontline Dem seats AND 3 Frontline adjacent seats.

Prop 50 helps Dems in over a dozen districts.

ADVANTAGE: Dems.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Just because the govt is shut down doesn't mean you can't call your legislators. And just because John Thune isn't your senator doesn't mean you can't call his office and ask his staff why they're supporting a man who is fine with torturing pregnant woman, and starving & killing children for no pay

Virginia's Senate has now passed the constitutional amendment that'd allow Dems to redistrict VA, joining House.

So Dems completed step 1: passing measure this week.

Step 2: keep the House Tuesday.
Step 3: pass this again in January.
Step 4: win a referendum in the spring.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.
