🚨 Damn. Mike Collins just fled his own press conference the moment reporters asked about his close ties to a white nationalist, neo-Nazi propagandist. He had no answers. Just an abrupt exit. Georgia deserves better than this.

Ken Paxton hasn’t debated in over a decade. I wonder why. Maybe it’s because he’d have to explain how his corruption crisis became Texas’ affordability crisis. James Talarico is ready. Paxton is still hiding. Debate him. Or keep running.

The momentum is real. Voters are done with the chaos, the cruelty, the corruption, and the grift. In 100 days, we’re flipping the House, holding the line, and sending a message that can’t be ignored. Organize. Donate. Vote early. Talk to everyone you know. #BlueWaveIn100Days

On Sunday, House Democrats are launching 100 Days of Action. Focused on one thing: an affordable America. • Lower prices for groceries, gas and housing • Affordable healthcare for ALL Americans • Holding the crooks who’ve been robbing working people blind accountable This is the fight. Let’s go!

🚨The SAVE Act is nothing but a Republican voter suppression scheme dressed up as “election integrity.” It’s #PayToVote — forcing barriers that hit working families, students, seniors & minorities hardest. ☎️ Call your reps NOW at (202) 224-3121 to kill this bill. Demand NO paywall! #PayToVoteSaveAct

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has the constitutional authority to temporarily appoint someone to fill Mitch McConnell’s seat. If GOP lawmakers want to challenge that, they can do so. This will be the first big test to see whether Beshear really is presidential material. I hope he passes the test.

James Talarico just challenged Ken Paxton to THREE televised debates. Paxton — who hasn’t appeared on a debate stage in over a decade — is almost certainly too scared to accept. Puppet politicians answer to their billionaire donors, not the people of Texas. Time to debate or keep hiding, Ken.

🚨 House Republicans led by MAGA Mike Johnson are once again plotting to slash your healthcare to fund an unpopular war — this time using reconciliation. Call the Capitol Switchboard TODAY at (202) 224-3121. Tell your rep to oppose this reckless GOP effort! #FundHealthcareNotWars

Hakeem Jeffries just nailed it: Gas prices exploded because of Trump’s reckless war of choice. From $2.98 before Trump launched it → now $3.93–$4.20+. Working families are feeling the pain at the pump while Trump fails to deliver. This is #TrumpsWarOfChoice.

Republicans couldn’t get the votes for their voter suppression bill — so now they’re trying to ram the SAVE Act into law through budget reconciliation. Forcing Americans to pay for passports and birth certificates just to vote? That isn’t election security. That’s a poll tax! #SAVEActIsPayToVote

🔥Hakeem Jeffries torches GOP’s $70 BILLION blank check to Trump’s mass deportation machine: “Taxpayer dollars should make life more affordable—NOT fund brutality against American citizens, law-abiding families, kids & veterans.” No oversight. No guardrails. Pure cruelty. Please watch and share! 👀

Trump promised to deport violent criminals and “the worst of the worst.” Instead, ICE is terrorizing law-abiding families, detaining an 18-year-old girl weeks from graduation, and denying basic medical care at Delaney Hall. This brutality is NOT America. #ShutDownDelaneyHall
