THIS is why it is so important to stand up, not cave in. Let's see what you've got, House Dems.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Anyone look over their old posts and see LOTS of old content labeled as SPAM by moderation? I haven't been here for a minute and just noticed that half my old posts are labeled as spam by moderation, including a post about BREAD. What?!

@slotkin.senate.gov It's not time to make a deal w/ Senate Rs. Fight for guaranteed extension of ACA tax credits. We WILL NOT SUPPORT any Dem who sells out the American people. We will fight to remove you from office if you strip already barely affordable healthcare from Americans.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?!

I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.

What messed up spectacle does he have planned for signing this bill if it passes in time for his made up July 4 deadline?

Spoken like the mob boss that he is.
“Rest assured, I have all the levers.” — the President of the United States on the NYC mayoral race.

These are not words uttered by elected officials in democracies.
welp, I guess the nation's largest city is no longer free to elect a mayor of its choosing

You know who isn’t taking a beach vacation, or any family vacation this year, @fetterman.senate.gov? Millions of American families who just can’t afford it. Stop your complaining and vote against any version of this terrible big bad billionaire bill.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social “Work hard. Stay focused. Deliver results. #ForThePeople.” Remember? You have lost your way, sir. Listen to the will of the people in NYC. The Progressive Dem voices in Texas. And across the country. And REfocus.

I am so damn sick of people raising questions about whether Jews in NYC will feel safe with Mandani, who has run a positive and inclusive campaign. These questions aren’t concern about antisemitism, they’re reflections of Islamophobia.

Watch this whole town hall. Share it with your friends, especially those who are on the fence about voting (looking at you, Texans). Then, convince your Christian friends to watch just 10 minutes of TX State Rep. Rev. @jamestalarico.bsky.social at 9:25. www.youtube.com/live/zy1tJBD...
Back in San Antonio for a town hall with Joaquin Castro & James Talarico
