Northern VA lucky to have Don Beyer representing them. Can't find a more committed and more intelligent Member of Congress.
The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Republicans slashes Medicare by over 500 billion dollars starting January 1. Seniors, veterans, disabled people - all pay the price for billionaire tax cuts. Its past time to vote Trumpβs Republican enablers in Congress out of office in November. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

Breaking: Iβm ready, willing, and able to move to Maine to be eligible to run for Senate. (I actually have some experience and worked on Maine issues related to public lands and the all important fisheries industry, as well as a working knowledge of U.S. Senate procedures.) DM me if interested. π
Is it too soon to start a @stephenking.bsky.social for Senate in Maine? π€·ββοΈ
This! I'm so tired and frustrated with Dems treating each other like the enemy because they don't agree on every issue, instead of fighting the bad people who are taking away our rights and taking us backward. Like in any relationship, you'll never agree on everything, so focus on what matters.
A handful of left-wing candidates in deep-blue New York City is not going to hurt the party as a whole. But this circular firing squad shit? This is what hurts.
My ears hurt from all the very low fly-overs that have gone over our house tonight on the way to + from the Mall. π€·ββοΈπ³π€¨

Seriously, at this point, why is any D Senator voting in favor of any Trump appointee??? @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @heinrich.senate.gov
While the Trump admin advances right-wing, anti-democratic forces in Europe, 17 Senate Dems just voted to confirm his OSCE nominee: Coons Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kaine King Klobuchar Rosen Schiff Shaheen Warner Welch Whitehouse
An important thing to remember is not just that Trump's deal with Iran is "worse than Obama's," but that Obama's negotiation of the JCPOA was explicitly good while Trump's surrender after starting and illegal undeclared war against Iran is explicitly bad.
