And we need smart, honest, & dedicated people like Pete to get us there.
Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Northern lights tonight in MN were spectacular. In this stressful time that we are in, it’s important to appreciate the beauty in the world.

Fuck Hegseth - ending the careers of qualified women because he’s a misogynist who has been given power he’s not qualified to have.

Agree. Fight for us or get out of the way for those who will.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

🤮 I’m so sick to my stomach. Disgusting democrats pretend to care about us but then cave without getting a deal. All this does is embolden Trump & the evil republicans - if we refuse to give in, democrats will fold like always.
fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

Call your senators & tell them they are betraying the American people by caving, & anyone who does that will pay the price at reelection time. @amyklobuchar.com @tinasmithvo.bsky.social
FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.

If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.

The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

No surprise Trump runs our country like the mafia - his mentor was Roy Cohn - a mob lawyer who (like many of Trump’s lawyers) was disbarred for unethical practices. #Resist

I donated $20 to help pay sandwich guy’s legal bills. Hats off to the grand juries who refused to issue a felony indictment & to the jury who acquitted him on the misdemeanor charges today. I bet Jeanine Pirro is drinking even more heavily tonight 😂

So true. We need to find likable, sincere candidates who speak in plain (& not condescending) language & understand the difficulties people are experiencing & want to do something about it. He/she should also have plans to fix things that can be explained in simple but compelling terms.
The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

That’s the way to counter the constant lies from republicans that the shutdown is democrats’ fault. Many democrats tend to assume people know it’s the republicans’ fault but clearly many people don’t understand or really care about how our government works. We must keep repeating counter-propaganda.
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Despite a barrage of phone and text messages and yard signs, the MAGA candidate for the Wayzata school board (Laura Conway) loses. No book band or forced bible reading in Wayzata schools.

A stunning rebuke to Donald Trump & his rich cronies. The people have spoken, & they’re sick of being lied to & taken advantage of.

I don’t know how anyone with an ounce of morality can call themselves a republican - the If we can’t win legitimately, how can we cheat party? The good news is that their cheating is showing us where the holes are so we can plug them once the republicans are out of power.

That’s great that even Kat’s political opponents are standing up for her (and our) 1st Amendment rights. #Resist
Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

This change in mail service needs to be shared widely. USPS will stop evening mail pickups from post offices more than 50 miles from a regional processing facility & will be postmarked/delivered at least 1 day later than before. Voters mailing a ballot close to the election could be disenfranchised.
npr.org NPR @npr.org · 22d
Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.
Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This interview of Mamdani on a subway among ordinary New Yorkers sums up what he stands for & why we need him to win: tax the 1% & corporations more & treat people with respect. It’s a winning message. Oligarchs are throwing millions at this race to stop him. We must not let them buy the election.
I rode the 1 train with Linsey Davis on the way to our ABC News interview yesterday, and talked about how in the wealthiest city in the world we can't simply accept that people have to sleep on the streets or the subways.

It's not a question of resources. It's a question of political will.

Sadly, the Trump govt will not direct any emergency funds toward SNAP. The USDA notice says: “Bottom line, the well has run dry.”

The well hasn’t run dry; there’s plenty of water in the well; but it is being diverted to benefit the wealthy who need it the least.
