With an Admin known for flip-flopping, why would Tillis or Cornyn think a written agreement matters? Their remedy is to block Blanche now and permanently. Would be nice if other Senators did their job too. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...

@piperformissouri.bsky.social identifies my biggest peeve with the Democratic machine: political consultants. They DON'T have a pulse on the people. These folks make $ regardless of outcome. Why aren't candidates listening to boots on the ground???? jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-know-a-t...

We could have health care for all. We could have a national child care program. We could have free community college. Instead, Trump spends the money on detaining, brutalizing, & killing immigrants & an illegal war in Iran that's cost us over $103 billion in just a few months. #TrumpsWarofChoice

America has always been a work in progress. Every generation must choose unity over division and do its part to protect our democracy and expand opportunity for all. Together, we can build a stronger, more just nation. Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Republicans don't own July 4th! They own Trump corruption, cruel & brutal #ICELawlessness, torturous detention centers, a leader listed a million times in the Epstein Files, January 6th, astronomical grocery & gas prices, authoritarianism & a disastrous war. Tell a friend! Happy #4thOfJuly

This July 4th I am sick and tired of the corruption of the Trump family and I blame Republicans for allowing this to happen!

"From the redwood forests To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me." From these redwood forests (yesterday) to you, from California Happy 4th! I love this country and believe we can survive the worst including Trump and the corrupt Republicans.

250 years of people who refused to shut up, sit down, or accept “that’s just how it is.” That’s not a bug. That’s the whole point. Happy birthday, America. Still rowdy. Still ungovernable. Still here. #SheShed

Our country is absolutely worth fighting for. “…The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…” ✌🏼❤️✊🏼🇺🇸
