Do it again just before the election. And call after you’ve voted to make sure it has not been thrown out. If they don’t like your signature they will toss it and you won’t be informed. I never worried in the past but now…

Happy Mexican Independence Day...
And
Happy National Voter Registration Day!

It's vital to check if you are still registered. Republicans are purging voters from the voting rolls so double check &check for friends & family!

In case you missed it….Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to make more of the Epstein files public – the next move in their coordinated attempt to cover this story up.

House Republicans snuck a massive policy change into their tax bill that could upend the civil service: It would make new federal employees "at will" unless they agree to an effective 5% pay cut.

One union official told me it amounts to "criminal extortion."

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

We may feel this way, but we don’t have to live this way.

The future of our country, the future we want for our children, all depends on what we do right here, right NOW.

Stay in the fight. Make your voice heard. Call your electeds, attend a town hall, join a Brady chapter. We’re in this together.

So look at what just happened in Milwaukee. We’ve now reached the point where Trump and his stooges are arresting Judges. Hello 1940’s! This is exactly what happens in dictatorships. PAY ATTENTION!

At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner."

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
