Republicans are panicking in #TN07 🔥
Aftyn Behn turned their “safe red” seat into a real fight, forcing them to dump millions and fly in JD Vance. A people-powered campaign is cracking their grip. She’s calling out high prices, rigged tariffs, and a system that treats Tennesseans like collateral.

In remote Alaska, public radio stations like KYUK provide lifesaving information during natural disasters.

But Trump cut funds for public media, and that could mean deadly consequences for the rural community.

There will be a time when DOGE is synonymous with a useless, expensive, and disastrous fiasco.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

#WeAintBuyingIt — Target, Amazon, Home Depot. Your aisles are stocked with exploitation, your profits built on broken backs. This holiday, we’re walking out to shop local.

Local isn’t a trend — it’s a revolution. We won't put money in the pockets of fascists.

While baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS.

For my friends who do not live in NJ

This is a crowded field of candidates running to fill Sherrill's #CD11 seat.
Gov Murphy's endorsement of Gill should make any anti-machine folks pay attention & look at other candidates.

BONUS: looks like this field will expand again any day now.

The Department of Education is parceling off its main offices and giving their responsibilities to other federal agencies.

Much of the funding for K-12 and colleges is being handed over to—wait for it—the Department of LABOR.

Because what else is education good for apart from producing workers?😞

Run a search on Tn07. Trump has spoken out saying that Aftyn is left of AOC. But, @aftynbehn.bsky.social is for fixing roads, feeding kids and funding healthcare. Doesn’t sound too radical to me!
