Robert Peters is running for Congress and taking on the establishment — and we're with him all the way. @robertpeters.bsky.social
As a state senator and organizer, Robert has spent his career fighting to make government work for everyone — not just the wealthy and well-connected.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.

Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Trying to piece together footage from the last few months in any coherent way just feels like making a trailer for a horror movie starring the feds...and all things considered, that's probably about where we're at.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

These morons have learned nothing from the Obama years in office. Republicans lie & don’t give a fuck about regular people.
Republicans only work to make themselves and their donors wealthier. That’s it, nothing else. Every Democrat that has failed this moment must be replaced in 2026 & 2028

The fight for healthcare right now can’t end with ACA subsidies. It HAS TO BE bigger. Too many Americans are suffering over medical debt and spiraling costs.
It should be nothing short of Medicare for All.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
