We can honor Gloria Steinem and Dolly Parton by refusing to give up the rights our daughters & granddaughters deserve. Elect Democratic women in the Midterms!

Christine Pelosi@christinepelosi.bsky.social

Women are paying Trump’s #CostOfCorruption as he sabotages our healthcare and our futures. That hits harder today as we mourn Gloria Steinem, our champion who died with fewer rights than she helped gain — and whose legacy demands that we reclaim the freedoms we all deserve. 🕊️

Now Trump’s killing bike paths. He only does a thing if he can profit from it & cause others pain. Big oil oligarchs are worth billion$. So are Venezuelan oil deals. Iran oil would be nice. Oh Canada! But wind, sun & bikes? No $ for him there. Just health, fun & savings for Americans. No!

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Hitler’s Commander Gõring, “The common people don't want war... it is always a simple matter to drag the people along... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, & denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism & exposing the country to danger"

I blame Pat Buchanan. He came up with the "find one thing to focus hate on" strategy. The Dems are still trying to unite various people to see things to move forward on. The Repubs just need to fine one thing to hate. It's evil, but much simpler.

Oh yes. Yes we will remember. Trump is on the ballot. VOTE for Democrats if you have to crawl over glass.

Be Careful What You Wish For Dept. You ARE on the ballot. You are the ONLY thing on the ballot. The investigations of your criminal regime begin November 4th. You are going DOWN because... Justice Matters. ⚖️ #AccountabilityIsComing...Soon

Trump made more stock trades in his first year after 2025 Inauguration than Nancy Pelosi's HUSBAND made in Nancy's entire political career. Her husband's career was investing!

Is it Day 1 yet? Are the wars in Ukraine and Gaza over yet? Or is it just another day to paint everything gold and steal BILLIONS of dollars?

🇬🇧 PM Burnham: As Ukraine goes through this illegal invasion, Britain needs to be there and be a constant. I visited Ukraine to send clear message to Ukrainian people that Britain isn’t changing course. We said we will support them, we are supporting them, and that won’t change.

Gov. DeSantis stole $10 MILLION from needy kids. His AG Ashley Moody snuck the money to him. Then DeSantis appointed her Senator. See? The whole Republican Party is corrupt AF. FLORIDA: Vote for ANGIE NIXON for the US Senate! 💙 Moody works for DeSantis & Trump Angie Nixon works for you & me

The best way to remember Dolly is to love each other and do kind things 💕

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

My favorite part of reporting today's column was hearing U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer say a trade war with Canada was no big deal for America, then finding a post on HIS OWN DEPARTMENT'S WEBSITE detailing how Canada is one of our top-2 trading partners. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

usatoday.comTrump's Canada trade war makes no sense. I love that for him. | OpinionAmid an affordability crisis and with the midterm elections looming, President Donald Trump decided it's a great time to slap Canada with 50% tariffs.

Trump holds a net job approval rating of -22 in Texas (disapproval is 22 points higher than approval). Texans are realizing they’ve been scammed. James Talarico is a truly good man.

HUGE crowd in the Rio Grande Valley for James Talarico 🔥 Something is happening in Texas.

Reagan cut the tax rate in HALF for the rich & told Americans it would make everyone richer. Tax cuts for the rich killed the Middle Class American Dream. Now Republicans lie that Trump’s economy is the Golden Age & we’ll have lives of luxury, as prices rise & they build prisons everywhere.

$40 trillion in debt—and the “Big Beautiful” Act gives tax breaks to the wealthy? History shows a different path: 1993: Clinton raised taxes on high earners → surpluses by 1998–2001. 1950s: Top tax rate reached 91% during strong growth. Maybe it’s time to remember.

People living near data centers are in deep trouble. Gov Greg Abbott’s making TEXAS the data center capital of the world. TEXANS can choose in just a couple of months -yourself & your family or tech billionaires. Gina Hinojosa for Governor James Talarico for Senate Choose YOU, not billionaires!

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social

Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black. Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks. Many are without safe water. Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water. This is what oligarchy looks like. Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

When you appoint reality TV people to the most important positions of the government running massive federal agencies, don’t be surprised when they treat the job like a reality TV show starring themselves while we pay them and the expenses.

NEWS: Another 60 U.S. service members wounded in Trump's Iran war have been added to the Pentagon’s casualty count, bringing the total to 775: 18 killed and 757 wounded. The Pentagon has not said when or where the newly reported injuries occurred.

It’s starting to look increasingly likely that the whole point of the tRumphole regime is to weaken and trash the US while liquidating every single thing they can into their own accounts. In effect, the wealthy have decided to asset strip and bankrupt the country then buy what’s left for ¢ on the $.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court just taught every future president a terrifying lesson: BREAK THE RULES. BUILD FAST. MAKE IT IRREVERSIBLE. THEN RUN TO SCOTUS. Two lower courts said Trump couldn’t unilaterally remake the White House without Congress.

It makes me ill to hear these stories every day. Especially because I know millions of Americans hear the same type of story about cruelty to immigrants and they think it’s great.
