Oregon: Yesterday Federal agents tear gassed union members, families, children, and pets in the middle of the day during a peaceful march.
Why do they have tear gas? And why are we paying for it?

In a district won by Trump by 17 points, Democrats force a runoff and flip a Texas State Senate seat.
Even after endorsements by both Trump and Abbott the Dems over performed by 20 points to win the seat.
Doesn’t bode well for the GOP midterms.

Flipping MTG’s seat doesn’t just alter the breakdown of the 435 seats in the House - it also sends a signal. I like Shawn’s stance on the issues & donated a few bucks.
36 days until Northwest Georgia chooses new leadership!
The seat once held by Marjorie Taylor Greene is up for grabs, and every single day matters.

Tents?? Thank God Jared Kushner, the self-described “Wunderkind” & shameless profiteer off the Trump family name, helped broker the Gaza ceasefire which Israel has since violated on a daily basis - 500 people have been killed since Trump boasted about brokering it. Get that Nobel Peace Prize ready
