Don't forget that there is a major election tomorrow in Tennessee. Before we think about 2026, let's focus all our energy on tomorrow's election. Make phone calls. Knock on doors. Do everything between now and tomorrow to make sure Democrats can show we can and we WILL win in the south.

Gov Walz is saying what we’ve been saying. If the president is this erratic, then the public deserves to know what is going on. Four simple words: show the MRI results.
If Trump is fine, prove it. If he isn’t, step aside.

President Zelenskyy is thanking again other leaders for their support. How about we all thank him and all Ukrainians. They are fighting Putin and keeping us safe. If Putin wins we all lose and Europe is finished.
Thank you President Zelenskyy and all Ukrainians 🇺🇦🙏

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?
What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

I really think it'd be worth the time for anyone with red reps or senators to call and email about this.
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

It’s been 44 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her congressional race.
Mike Johnson knows she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files so he’s done everything he can to prevent her from taking office.
Speaker Johnson, do your job and swear her in.

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.

If you are a Democratic senator watching these results and the lesson you take is "I should cave and help Republicans reopen the government for nothing more than a promise written on toilet paper" then you shouldn't be in the Senate anymore
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Even if Trump admin obeys the court and releases funds for SNAP (food stamps) it could be weeks before states can recharge people's cards etc.
