One of the many examples of county parties doing their part to help families across NE. Thank you, Adams County Dems. #NebDems "A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who contributed to our food drive on Saturday. We delivered 2 carloads of food to the Hastings Food Pantry this morning."

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is awesome.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

NEVER FORGET: President Biden added subsidies to Medicare Part D (those on Original/Traditional Medicare with or without Extra Help) for 2024, 2025, and 2026, & was going to permanently include them to KEEP the costs down. Well, The Trump Administration REPEALED them & that's why your PREMIUMS ARE 🚀

My bottom line on the Maine senate primary is that I think it is very helpful to have a serious contested primary with each candidate staying in the race pulling no punches on everything that Republicans would use in a general, and let MAINE Dems decide their candidate next year.

Ruby red communities also held No Kings rallies in the western part of the state. True patriots gathered in Alliance to protest in large numbers. Thanks to party leaders for their part in the protests. The momentum continues against the dismantling of our democracy. #NebDems

The biggest protest crowd we have seen in Lincoln, Nebraska, and people keep coming. We heard 4,000 registered, and there were way more than that. Joyful, fun, and determined to save our country. Great showing Huskers!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The healthcare shell game: cut public options, force everyone into expensive private plans, then act surprised when costs skyrocket. We see through it.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

This is the second airport that is going dark because of Trump’s government shutdown. Republicans need to do their job and come back to Washington.

Nashville's air traffic approach control will go dark for 5 hours tonight due to the Republicans' government shutdown.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Gupta: The impacts of this—H-1B visas—are going to show up once Trump is out of office. If fewer people are able to take those jobs, what happens? We’re just not going to have enough people to meet the demand for medical services.. And the irony here is it’ll probably impact red states more

“The law doesn’t matter anymore” is obeying in advance.

Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Gina F reposted

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Speaker Heastie recognizes what New Yorkers know: it’s not only popular but necessary to ask the wealthiest individuals and the most profitable corporations to pay a little more in taxes so we can deliver an agenda that lowers costs for working families.
