Simple. Powerful. 🇺🇸
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

Oh, this is news. I didn’t know I needed it but oh my this is good.
MAJOR NEWS: Federal judges, including a Trump appointee, just BLOCKED Texas Republicans from using their new gerrymandered congressional map in 2026, ruling it was likely an illegal racial gerrymander. TX must revert to its 2021 map as Trump’s redistricting power grab collapses.

One of the many reasons I’m supporting Marlene Galán-Woods for Arizona’s first congressional district!

Election results show "Latinos abandoning GOP"—Republican strategist
Mike Madrid said the Virginia gubernatorial election results indicated that Latino voters are moving away from the Republican Party.

This is how I feel: Nancy Pelosi gave us leadership courage smarts
Thank you, @pelosi.house.gov.
This woman made herstory.
She’s the reason the ACA got passed.
She led us through Trump 1.0, the insurrection & COVID
She never lost a single vote she called up.
I didn’t always agree w her but this woman showed us what a gifted leader looks like.
TY Nancy for all of it.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Gracias, Marlene!
It’s so important to get this message out throughout our Arizona Congressional District 01 🌵💙🇺🇸
Si resulto elegido miembro del Congreso, los demócratas nos aseguraremos de que el Congreso cumpla con su deber y de que usted no pague más cada vez que el presidente se enfade por un anuncio de televisión.

Say it plain!
The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored.

Period.

Thank you @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social
I am keeping my heart open, my mind clear, and my days filled with activism that makes a difference, right where I live
💙🇺🇸🌵🎉
It’s wildly ironic that MAGAs now have control of the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court, and yet they still manage to feel themselves oppressed, still picture the world as unfair, still rage against a machine they’ve made and are part of.

“Can we please just focus on winning?” is one of the top three reasons I’m supporting Marlene Galán-Woods for Arizona’s CD1! #AZ-01
@marleneforaz.bsky.social
Senator Slotkin is right: let’s just focus on winning again. Democrats need to get serious and ruthless about winning seats, not just what makes us feel good.

I donated!
She has never made homophobic slurs either & stood up to Trump to defend the transgender community in Maine.

You are not alone… That is the message that I shared with every single new person who was out at #NoKingsScottsdale
October 21, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Yes!
Way to go, US‼️ 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪🇺🇸 👇
After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

America doesn’t have a king. But Trump acts like one—ignoring the Constitution, detaining citizens without due process, and attacking the rule of law.

That's what tomorrow's No Kings Day protest is about.

Here in #AZ01 we have viable candidates (I’m on Team Marlene @marleneforaz.bsky.social ) and at least half a dozen folks who are really making it hard for those of us who are volunteering, donating, and looking to flip a toss up seat
There can be a fine line between the strategy of running candidates in seemingly unwinnable races, and burning scarce money on vanity candidates. www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-...
Democrats Are Done With Vanity Candidates
Party insiders worry about running long-shots or no-shots who’ll drain money and energy.

Clear and powerful!
"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Emily‘s List makes careful, smart endorsements
I’m so proud that Marlene is one of the first congressional candidates to be endorsed! pro-choice, pro freedom, pro #AZ01
Honored to have the support of @emilyslist.bsky.social and BOLD PAC. We’re building a campaign that will be ready to win in November and finally flip #AZ01 Blue!
