This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!

The fuss so many Republicans in D.C. make about the LGBTQ community is resentment. They resent people brave enough to live openly…while they keep their own desires hidden, terrified of what colleagues and constituents would do if they knew. Republicans…you KNOW who you are. We do, too.
🚨BREAKING: Nearly a year after voting advocates launched a campaign to prevent a GOP gerrymander from taking effect in Missouri, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins officially blocked the citizen-initiated referendum on the new map from appearing on the ballot. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri blocks anti-gerrymander referendum from November ballot in attempt to silence voters
Voter advocates are expected to immediately challenge the move and ask the courts to ensure that Missouri voters have the final say on the map.

NEW: Republican officials were set to vote on a plan to cut almost half of Election Day voting locations in Tarrant County, a major Texas battleground county. But all that changed when outraged voters who packed the meeting room demanded their voting locations remain open.

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
"We have to say to folks, 'Here's where your money's being stolen, here's who's doing it, here's who's suffering from violations of the rule of law.' Show real people who are being harmed. Things that make Americans mad." Yes. Elevate the victims. #ElevateTheVictims

Talarico: "Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels."
We paid the tariffs and corporations got the refunds.
I’m one of the 20 million Americans Republicans threw under the bus. My family’s health insurance went from $1,700/month to over $3,000/month. REPUBLICANS DID THIS‼️ #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Nothing says fiscal responsibility like exploding the deficit for rich tax breaks, then letting sequestration carve Medicare. Seniors pay more while corporations win. Big Beautiful approach: cut access, hike costs, call it reform. Elderly noticing yet? #RepublicanMedicareCuts
The GOP plans to cut Tarrant County's Election Day voting sites in half. One Democratic candidate for Texas House: a "voter suppressed, racially gerrymandered, poll cutting" county that sends letters to living people and declares them dead so they can't vote. The GOP can't win unless they cheat.

Dear corporate media: I have an idea for you. Why not book actually progressive Democrats and not former Republicans who are anti-Trump?! Could it be you don't want progressive Dems making the case on your airwaves for Medicare for all, ending corporate $$ in politics, raising taxes on rich, etc?!
Republicans keep defending their healthcare record as seniors receive rising Part D cost notices. They promised not to touch Medicare—then their deficit-exploding bill did it through automatic cuts and ending subsidies. Seniors are collateral damage. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
“I folded like a cheap suit because I have no self-respect. Also, Trump stole my dignity and won’t give it back.”
“Some Republicans are not on board with Trump’s policies,” “A GOP backlash to Trump is brewing,” “These Republican lawmakers could stand in Trump’s way.” There are media headlines like this everyday but they are always always always always bullshit.
