Now that Platner has won the primary, I want to be clear. When I said “vote blue no matter who” in 2016, 2020, and 2024, I meant it. I’m worried about Platner, but if you say “vote blue no matter who” in Maine, I hope you’ll extend the same courtesy to other Dems. I hope we beat Collins.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This is the type of content we need. Experts speaking out against misinformation, making their voices heard as they shine a light on the Trump administration’s dangerous and destructive policies. Thank you dr.amybkillen (via IG)

🇸🇪🇺🇦🇺🇸 Swedish PM Kristersson: "I welcome Trump’s important decision to provide the possibility of supplying more modern weapons to Ukraine and significantly increase economic pressure on Russia. Sweden together with NATO allies, will continue to facilitate significant deliveries to Ukraine."

Trump managing the stock market is like letting grandpa drive after he forgot what a stop sign is. Fun at first, then he floors it into a farmers market and everyone’s portfolios end up in the ER. Time to take the keys, old man.

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Reminder for MAGA: the Constitution isn’t an opt-in service. You don’t get to yell “FREEDOM” and skip the parts you don’t like. It applies to you whether you read it, understand it, or scrawl it on a truck tailgate.

Trump’s tariff strategy was pure medieval LARP. “Pay tribute or face the wrath of the orange king!” Countries had to grovel for trade mercy while American consumers got hit with price hikes like peasants in a cabbage famine. It wasn’t policy it was cosplay with consequences. #TariffTantrum

This must increase and be sustained

Fourteen hours later, he's still going. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Dear Wisconsin, Elon Musk is buying another election. This time it’s a seat on your state Supreme Court. If we are ever going to defeat the oligarchy, it starts with rejecting their self-serving agenda at the ballot box. Get out there and vote. Elbows up.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.
