Working people deserve a break. They're tired of being told their taxes are being cut while they see with their own eyes how much their property taxes have skyrocketed. I am running to fight for real change.

Honestly, who cares what MAGA does? They’re like 30% (maybe) of the country, and half of them are pissed off at him for Iran, Israel, or some other reason. We have to quit thinking about what those deranged mouthbreathing rubes are going to do or not do - they’re irrelevant.

I was promised a big tent! All my buddies on the electoral hard-left & the democratic socialist left have been holding up our end of the bargain. So have the muscular liberals, the median dems, & even Joe Walsh! DSA joined No Kings! Never Trumpers, get your side under control. This is embarrassing.

Serious question @democracydocket.com, If a president interferes with an election is it a coup or an insurrection?

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 2w ago

NEW: Last week, Trump unleashed a barrage of election conspiracy theories in a prime-time speech addressed to the nation. From allegations of inaccurate voter rolls to China's role in the 2020 election, election officials from at least 30 states spent the weekend debunking the president's claims👇

1/ I looked at 20 years of Supreme Court decisions and found that for the first time, all nine justices decided more cases by secret ballot — aka the “shadow docket” — than it did for cases argued in open court last term. 🧵:

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are responsible for the deaths of two more Americans. There are no words. We must find the missing servicemember. My heart breaks for the families of all three. A disgusting, illegal war for nothing.

Two US service members were killed and another is missing following Iranian strikes in Jordan, the US military says, marking the first deaths of American troops in the Iran war since March. https://cnn.it/4gGA0Yz

Meanwhile, how’s Mitch doing?

The worst part about election fraud is that Trump and Epstein raped children for decades.

This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT
