Why did America tell Ukraine to get rid of your nuclear program and ballistic missiles and we will protect you? Then Republicans help Russia invade Ukraine by allowing the massacre of its people. VOTE every Republican out.

Stick up for trans people and immigrants every time, all the time.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Texas mothers are dying, and instead of giving us answers, Abbott’s administration is hiding that data. Texans deserve the truth. They deserve transparency. And our state officials have a legal obligation to give it to them. I’m demanding the report be released immediately.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

This is a great initiative—a donated dollar can erase a hundred dollars of medical debt. Not sure I’ve mentioned it before but my old medical debt was erased by a similar group! Please consider sharing and donating a few scrams if you’re able.

Beto O’Rourke stood outside the Texas GOP convention tonight and said what everyone in that room already knows: they scare you about immigrants and trans neighbors so you don’t notice the pockets getting picked. Tarrant County just cut 92 polling places. Connect the dots.

#GA01 You drive hours for basic healthcare because rural hospitals keep closing. Amanda Hollowell's platform addresses that directly: fully fund rural hospitals, & expand Medicaid. Amanda will fight for community safety, lower costs, & fight against corruption. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks #OneV1

#Michigan I know you are all smart enough to spot a lie when you hear one. Aren’t you tired of the desperate lies from Mike Rogers? He voted against benefits for 1st responders at 9/11-like my BIL who now has cancer. Elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He cares about all people! #Pinks #ProudBlue

More lies from Mike Rogers 🤨 He claimed voting 2x against healthcare for 9/11 sick responders was a “lie.” Further investigation shows it was MORE - 9x. A great investigation into his disgusting actions. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed IS the best for MI & US. #Pinks www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-ro...

#MN Elect Peggy Flanagan to the Senate. Peggy Flanagan grew up on food stamps & Medicaid. Peggy refuses every dollar of corporate PAC money. When you don't take money from insurance companies, you can actually fight for Medicare for All without looking over your shoulder. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

#MN Elect Amy Klobuchar as your Gov! You're working harder, but still can't cover rent, childcare, & groceries. That's a rigged economy protecting profits over you. Your work should actually pay enough to live on. That starts with a gov who'll fight for working families, not corp donors. #Pinks
