Hoping @bynum.house.gov is one of the 175 Dems.
The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

that's right, i'm a multimedia journalist now
Bobby Pulido, running for Congress in Texas, is more than a quinceañera singer. The 53-year-old Tejano music legend is the Democratic nominee in a freshly gerrymandered swath of Texas. While the race to unseat his Republican opponent once seemed an uphill battle, polls now consider it a toss-up.

Good news.
For years, the website Abortion.org redirected users to anti-abortion information. But then, Rebecca Nall — the founder of I Need An A, an online directory of abortion providers — purchased the domain and now, for what is likely the first time, the website contains resources about abortion.

@govjayinslee.bsky.social and I know that Trump and his MAGA allies shouldn’t run Oregon. I will always defend what makes Oregon special.

THIS!!!
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Worth a listen. @e-linn-indivisible.bsky.social @linncodemsoregon.bsky.social

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

this is why we did a ton of polling on winning messages and what we found is that cracking down on corruption is really, really important for any cost-of-living argument because people straight up don't believe any of your promises if you don't show you're serious about accountability
If Democrats actually win big because people want a check on Trump corruption I expect every move to do so will be covered in the corporate media as being risky to their 2028 position.

Independent journalist @marisakabas.bsky.social shares what she learned about “Tommy” — the heckler featured in Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s viral video — and his ties to the GOP, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and prominent Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht.

For-profit prisons for unaccompanied minors - during a time when ICE is separating children from their parents in the interior and mislabeling them unaccompanied. Think about where we’ve seen this before and under what conditions.
SCOOP: Spokesperson for Sen. Ron Wyden told me he is investigating 2 for-profit companies running new ICE facility for unaccompanied children set to open in Louisiana. LaSalle Corrections and 'humanitarian response' firm Anovaeon LLC are facing Wyden's scrutiny. www.thequeenzone.com/scoop-top-se...
