People don’t vote on policy, they don’t usually know about policies or specific accomplishments unless it’s really big. Ask ppl what Obama did and they’ll know Obamacare and that’s it. People know how they’re doing, how they feel, what they have in the bank or feel comfortable spending

Thanks to all of you, our campaign has raised over 40 Thousand Dollars! You've kept us in the streets, and you've kept us grassroots.

But, in order to take down Brian Mast, we will need to be a million dollar campaign (at least). Can you help us get there? Every dollar counts.

She said a lot more than just “shut up”. Good for her — truth bomb
Plain and simple “I didn’t refuse them, trump didn’t send them”

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs.

Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

Just when you think you’re being absurd these days, you find out they’ve already limboed under that low bar

Just like they struck down provisions of it already — they just declare racism is no longer a problem

Based on nothing, no justification, no study, no data — just make it up and declare it to be true

He fought against toxins yet gave himself mercury poisoning because he liked tuna sandwiches so much he ate them every day, yet he allied with a man and works for an administration that is removing restrictions on toxins in the air and water as well as reducing food inspections

“Anthropomorgic”? Y’all giving him credit for saying a big word that he didn’t use or say correctly — must’ve been discussed in the caucus meeting before they all went out to the mics.
And do Rs think it’s just happening in DC? A bunch have said it’s a “DC rally” — they are in for a surprise

Mike Johnson is upset that millions of people will protest kings on Saturday for the love of America.

NO

For the love of America.

He should do it — it isn’t safe here for athletes and their families because of him and his mass deportations, bounties, and profiling

No plywood on Powells. Just an open store in downtown Portland — despite what trump said

And you probably shouldn’t use words that you don’t know the meaning of. Isn’t making you look smart, shows the opposite

Yeah, right wingers. And name calling is just childish behavior. Grow the fuck up — do some research at reliable sources and stop spewing bullsht. You can try to pretend facts don’t exist but stats show political violence is committed by republicans. Your president is senile and you’re fine with it

Because you say so, right? Hilarious, buddy. Keep making up numbers

Who shot cops during Floyd protests? Right wing Boogaloo boys. Who beat, tased, bear sprayed law enforcement officers on Jan 6, 2021? Right wing republican trump supporters who were illegally on the premises of our Capitol

Yeah, some of our supposed guardrails were not written explicitly enough

We didn’t have open borders, there weren’t 11 million people let in, but if they were “let in” they aren’t “illegal” are they? The government said they could and were processing them thru the existing system.

And which party has a history of attacking LEOs? You are misinformed

Thank you. “Staying vocal lets others know they are not alone” — 1 reason why those people who tell others “just ignore the trolls, don’t engage” are missing the point and not helping. And blocking them means you don’t see the comments, but everyone else still does

Being vocal means everywhere

…the policies will show how bad they are, the midterm elections will rear their ugly heads, people will stop being overwhelmed and take them on

Some big stuff about to happen

Every president (especially a lame duck) knows they have momentum for the first 12 months — give or take — so they rush to pass things quickly get as much done as possible. With these people, it’s also a blitzkrieg tactic — shock and awe to keep the oppo off their feet. Because at some point,…
