It’s been 23 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

It’s time to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

AZ-07 deserves representation.

Now is the time for bold climate leaders, not business as usual. As your next Park Board Commissioner, I know that a park system serving all people needs environmentalism rooted in class struggle for renters, families, and workers. #MichaelForParks #MplsParks #EnviromentalJustice

Ward 8 needs a leader who wants to represent everyone, no matter race, religion, homeowner/renter, native born, or immigrant. I will be that leader.

The Trump administration is working to double the Argentina bailout.

They want to send $40 BILLION total to rescue a foreign country’s economy—all while Americans’ health care costs skyrocket.

“America First” was a blatant lie.

Cheryl Burt and I worked to secure funding for Minnesotans and people across the country to install new carbon monoxide detectors.

No family should suffer the loss of a child like Cheryl did, and this is an important first step in preventing deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning.

People asking what’s up with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Far as I can see, she’s willing to say 2+2=4, water is wet, people need health care, prices should be reasonable, and Epstein victims deserve respect and truth. All other MAGA Politicians, starting with MAGA Mike, deny all of that.

Good for you, New York Times. Good for you, Fox. Thanks for not accepting Hegseth’s ridiculous press pledge—an effort to turn you into mouthpieces for MAGA state propaganda. A free press is not the “enemy of the people,” but—when you do your job and tell the truth—the people’s best friend.
Media including Fox News overwhelmingly reject Pentagon press policy
Fox News, along with ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN, said that the Pentagon policy violates their “core journalistic protections.”

Republicans will say anything to make you think they’re on your side. But when it counts, they always side with Trump and their billionaire donors, never with working families.

During Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Month, I had the chance to meet the parents and pup of Maria Pew.

Since her tragic death, they’ve dedicated themselves to providing domestic abuse prevention and education through Maria’s Voice to create safe homes for all.
