One of our #26in2026 targets, @DanSullivan_AK, voted to confirm Todd Blanche for AG. It's worth mentioning Dan received ~$10k in campaign donations from Epstein associates. Also worth mentioning that Dan voted AGAINST the release of the Epstein files. See how this works? https://bit.ly/4wUiSnr

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

No to any election deniers. No to attempting to hand in FAKE ELECTORAL SLATES. That's a double-edged sword....hurts us all. Hurts the states and the country as a whole. WIN ON MERIT/the people's votes, not cheating. Thankful Mike Pence is loyal to democracy and denied corruption.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Today I learned that a kid I grew up with went missing over the Arabian sea. He had served for the past 20 years. To me he is in my memory as a skinny, care free, giggly nerdy kid. Someone that everyone was friends with. He grew up in rural Oregon. My heart is angry and broken. Fuck Trump

You can't make this up: House Republicans just snuck a provision to help private jet owners avoid state and local taxes into a major AIR SAFETY bill! Instead of working to prevent another mid-air collision, the GOP is more concerned with making their wealthy donors even richer.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.
