🚨VOTE! Check you haven’t been purged from the voter rolls at least 30 days before midterms. Request a Mail-In-Ballot. Drop off personally or mail back using FEDEX or UPS. *USPS is COMPROMISED! *Put me on a list, I’ll put u on 3! https://c.org/Ks4BdJzyHS

Let’s level set. MICHIGAN is a must-win if we want to flip the Senate. A word caution: This race was tighter than many predicted. El-Sayed needs Stevens supporters in the general, so it’s not smart strategy to keep them angry. Welcome them. Focus on issues. Time is short, so healing must be quick

Progressive candidates won yesterday in only half of the races. Democrats can do better! Check your state below for the next primary elections. Please vote and bring a friend. You’re up tomorrow Tennessee! 💙

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

The best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.

Representative Wesley Bell of Missouri, a moderate pro-Israel Democrat, fended off a primary challenge from former Congresswoman Cori Bush, a democratic socialist, in a loss for the surging socialist movement.

This isn't just another account. It's a place for people who believe democracy is worth showing up for. We organize. We create. We encourage. We take action. We believe ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference. Welcome to the Good Trouble Squadron.

Asked my neighbor if he voted, he hadn't, so he and my family all piled in our car and drove to vote for El-Sayed, and then we smoked a bunch of weed and had a nice time sitting on my front porch. Good day.

When trump says he is going to blow Iran out of the water until nothing is left of the country (implying a nuclear bomb) is it because he doesn’t have any other kinds of bombs left?

Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes

This is a wildly prescient story about Chicago's proto-RFK Jr., in charge of public health during the Spanish Flu. He thought beer killed malaria and that bathing could kill you. He had a feud with an actual TB doctor, who insisted bathing is good. He bullied the TB doctor until he killed himself.

Sachs believed that the new administration was undermining patient care by making hiring and contract decisions based on political connections. Thompson and Robertson in turn accused Sachs of being financially extravagant, incompetent, and dictatorial. As Sachs resigned from the sanitarium he had worked tirelessly to build, Frank Billings, one of the most respected physicians in the city, called Robertson “utterly unqualified.”

On April 2, 1916, Sachs committed suicide. For reformers and the medical establishment, Sachs was a martyr to grotesque political corruption. Although The Republican, a propaganda sheet literally published in an office in City Hall, sneered that suicide “occasionally has been a haven of moral cowards who preferred the shelter of death to public exposure of their shortcomings,” Robertson took a less confrontational tone after Sachs’s death. Still, he refused to step down.
