MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.
Tennessee keeps rolling back our rights. In office, I’ll fight to move us forward because I work for YOU, not corporate donors. Help me stand up to Brian Stewart and the liquor lobby and fight the THC ban! 💪🏻 #MandyCook4TN#Tennessee#statehouse#LegalizeIt#vote
MAGA doesn't want you to see what your tax dollars being put to work to help people would actually look like. Because then everybody would want that to happen everywhere and they would start realizing that democratic socialist policies are good.
Sherrod Brown: Data centers really show whose side you’re on. Are you going to do the bidding of those companies from out of state that don’t give a damn about local communities? Or are you going to stand with the public?
NEW: Food banks across America are being overwhelmed by surging demand.
Scott MacFarlane went inside to see the crisis firsthand. Here’s what he found:
💥 Trump at UN on Iran: "I have a big decision to make. Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic, and do it quickly? Do I drive them into Hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?" 9/22/26 #Unfit#WarPig
Medicare for All.
Abolish ICE.
Tax the Rich.
We don't just need a democratic majority in the Senate. We need a progressive majority to deliver on the most pressing issues of our time.
2,750+ people just showed up in deep red Beeville, Texas for Bobby Pulido, Gina Hinojosa, and James Talarico.
Something is definitely happening in Texas.
Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains!
Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.
If Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics.
We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.
Hi Everyone
In preparation for the Disappeared in America National Call to Action,
LA Orgs, Faith Leaders and Activists are building cardboard coffins to represent each of the lives lost to ICE violence.
You can help by clicking on the link below to sponsor a coffin:

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass.
ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊
If every white person who has voice would spread this message, loud and clear, maybe we could begin to start making a change.

We were told this undeclared war of choice on Iran would last 4 days—137 days later there is no end in sight. Now, a resumed US Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is underway causing gas, diesel, and fertilizer prices to shoot back up because 20% of world trade flows through the Strait.
Honoring the life and legacy of Toledo resident Betty Ann Amison-Lewis. Betty looked for every opportunity she could to serve our NW Ohio community. As founding Director of Toledo's Grace Community Center, Betty devoted decades to others with the same grace for which the community center was named.
.@repmarcykaptur.bsky.social introduced an amendment to make it harder for Republicans to reduce eligibility or benefits for families that count on SNAP.
But instead of helping Americans afford groceries, Republicans are tripling down on their America Last agenda.
Justice delayed is justice denied. That couldn't be more true for thousands of honest, hardworking people and businesses I represent in NW Ohio who were wronged by the largest nuclear power corruption scandal in both American and Ohio history. It cost the public over $1 Billion.
May God bless our troops, and may the leaders of the President’s party in the US House of Representatives and Senate meet their sworn Constitutional obligation to achieve full and necessary debate under regular order on this expanding war and its objectives.

This illegal, undeclared war is costing the American people our precious troops, while Billions of taxpayer dollars are being illegally shifted by the Trump Administration from other Defense accounts essential to our nation’s security, without an approval vote of Congress.

President Trump told us when his undeclared war of choice on Iran began in February that it was supposed to end in 4 days. We are now on day 141 with no end in sight, headed toward month 5.

🧵 Today, the hearts of the American people again go out in grief and abiding gratitude to the beloved families, colleagues, and friends of 2 US soldiers killed in Jordan and to the loved ones and colleagues of the soldier now missing in action.

The U.S. wants Mexico’s president to hand over a political ally charged in drug corruption, but Sheinbaum has refused.
“She is very clear about this,” a senior Mexican official said of the U.S. request for extradition. “She has decided no.”
Maybe we should remember Lindsey Graham the way Fox News is remembering him this morning.
For his rabid defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing.
Never forget: Graham’s speech helped push Kavanaugh across the finish line and onto the Supreme Court.
From “largest fireworks ever” to “why is it so empty?” in record time. Trump’s State Fair was a ghost town, his July 4th speech needed a weather bailout, and he’s out here bragging about crowds smaller than a Biden barbecue. The 250th deserved better than this embarrassing spectacle.
Those who voted for the GOP are the reason why we need a Separation of beliefs and state. Their Foolishness is why history is allowed to repeat.
Not knowing that they voted away our American Freedom from oppression cuz they don't understand what fascism is.
No one has rights in a fascist regime.
New Footage of Fatal ICE Shooting in Texas Sparks Fresh Outrage newrepublic.com/post/212915/... via @newrepublic.com#PB#USD

ICE Lied…again
Voting isn't just a right. It's an act of resistance.
When they try to steal our voices, we speak louder. When they build walls, we break them down. When they suppress, we SHOW UP.
#GoodTrouble Weekend of Action. Be there.

He should argue the law passed by the GOP legislature to strip him of his authority to appoint a replacement is unconstitutional because… it is—and appoint a replacement the moment it becomes vacant.
Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life.
If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.
