There are other states that should join
ME NM have Democratic Governor and legislature
AZ, MI, MN, PA, WI, have Democratic Governors, Senators, but not state legislatures
NV VA VT have Republican Governors, Dem legislatures
KS KY have Dem governors but that’s it
NH has Dem members of Congress

@nevadaag.bsky.social Aaron Ford is the Democrat running for Governor in 2026.
Perhaps he should speak out in favor of joining the coalition.

Agree, but VT has a Republican Governor.
Putting pressure on state legislators might help there.

Call and ask her

I think this is the regions uniting.

Wisconsin has a Republican legislature.
But maybe Gov Evers should make them say no - or @wisdems.org could sponsor a ballot question.

DC is pretty much under Trump’s control.
But worth asking @mayorbowser.dc.gov

Call Gov Whitmer
Phone Message: 517-335-7858

Check the list again. PA is not on it.

Call and ask her about it.

And PA has a Republican legislature.
But Gov Shapiro should make them stop him from joining and then PA Democrats can add it to the 2026 issues we are fighting for.

I agree they should join, but NH and VT have Republican governors.
Janet Mills should get Maine in though.
Walz and Whitmer in MN MI too.

If you live in VA, remind people that this is another reason to vote for @abigailspanberger.com.

If you are going to a No Kings March this weekend and you live in ME, VT, NH, MI, MN, PA ask others to call your Governor and think about joining the Public Health Alliance.
And if Guam is in, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands should join too.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more.

Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

* Guam is also a member of the alliance

Josh Shapiro too…

Someone should talk to @governorwalz.mn.gov @gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social Janet Mills and Katie Hobbs.
We are stronger together.

Stephen Colbert, once again showing why the regime had to have his show killed.

This all ends once enough of us stand up.

Nick Begich, Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan voted for the ’Big Ugly Bill.’
They had the leverage to withhold their vote until funding was restored.
The Republicans in Congress are responsible for what is happening in their districts, their states, and communities across America.

🚨 20 DAYS TO GO.

I've also created a SECOND NJ page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state.

Most of these Dems likely won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force NJ Republicans to defend "safe" turf. Donate today! #Blue25

Thank you Charles!

Trump is perfecting a method of laundering money via currency exchange.
Eventually we will know how he personally benefits from the Argentine deal, but there will be so much other criminality between now and then it will barely register.

Reach out to your family, friends, neighbors and remind them that voting is worth the effort.
Ask if they have a plan to vote.
Ask about what might keep them from voting and see if you can help remove the barrier.
Democracy depends on people participating!
