I like and respect Gov. Mills, I really do.

But she’s already said she’d only serve one term if elected. Why would we nominate someone just for us to have to defend the seat in 6 years?

Graham Platner is 40. He brings a new vision of politics and can serve for quite a bit.

This new Pentagon press policy is not good for our press or our military.

And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press.

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 14th day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

The American people know that Republicans shut down the government.

Democrats want to open it up immediately.

And decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

The GOP budget is going to be the single most unpopular and destructive budget in modern American history - tariffs/higher prices, exploding deficits, gutting health care, slashing clean energy/higher electricity costs, huge ICE expansion.

Going to be a parade of horrors and they are scared of it.

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 17h

Where is the Republican budget? By law it was required to be passed and in place by Sept 30th. Anyone seen it? Got any idea what might be in it? Why the f-ck is the House taking a month long vacation without getting their work done?

Dems ready to negotiate. Rs remain on vacation.

Refusing an illegal order may be necessary to avoid criminal liability, though it can be a difficult decision with potential consequences.

The Chicago detention center has refused the Mexican Consulate access to visit detainees

Now what reason would ICE have for doing that?

Why is there a Shutdown?
Yes, call it the #TrumpGOPShutdown as they refuse to negotiate in good faith & GOP demands an unconscionable end to ACA subsidies which would harm millions of US
But the truth is
The #1 reason is stop the release of the #EpsteinFiles
#EpsteinShutdown

I'm getting my cane, taking my old body out to the streets, and demonstrating peacefully like I did 50+ years ago for women's rights, and to end the war in Viet Nam. Won't you please join me?

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.
