*Mikie* got my vote, no regrets
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I left a message with your office @booker.senate.gov Do not cave!
Tell your senators, DO NOT vote to reopen the government UNLESS we get an ironclad guarantee of restored ACA subsidies!
Call your Senators folks. Even if they are a Republican and definitely if they are a Democrat.

Do not cave, @booker.senate.gov!
Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.
At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Yes Oct 14 is also George Floyd’s bday. This is the universe trying to tell us something
I ask you to join me in rallying against racism and white supremacy on Oct. 14. That day should be spent honoring George Floyd’s legacy, not sanctifying a man whose career was built on amplifying white nationalist talking points.
