"Hoping on" to see the good news sweeping the East Coast tonight.

Let's use that energy to fuel movements and make inroads in our rural areas come 2026.

Media bros:

Invest in rural opposition and optics.

Y'all don't know we're here because you don't even care to look.

Algorithms drown us out because we're tiny.

Y'all act like we're a lost cause because rural areas "vote red" but y'all don't even step foot in the state.

Republicans be like

"Yes let's totally let Trump pledge a ton of money towards the same country the German leaders fled to in the 40s to avoid punishment. But absolutely no way we have money for healthcare for American citizens who are poor or disabled."

No connections in history at all....

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Wyoming wake up.

Trump is trying to pay to flood the market with Argentinian beef to lower prices rather than do anything that resembles real policy change at home.

And Congress is allowing it.

Be the squeaky wheel, force Barrasso, Lummis and Hageman to do something productive.

Why are Democrats not talking more about how Trump can't even pay for US citizen's health insurance but is willing to give Argentina a bailout?

Corruption abound!

If only rich and influential could be given a reason not to support the US regime like they just did with Kimmel. Target.

Don't stop pushing. Bring the house of cards down.

I forgot this platform existed.

Fuck Barrasso and his bid for attention. Which mega donor expressed enough concern that he decided to finally respond?

"Deeply concerned" my ass.

The Jackelope you are trying to reach is too busy screaming into the Void. Please do not try to leave a message; it will make the screams louder.

They are, however, accepting snackies.

Municipalities and tax districts across Wyoming are grappling with plummeting property tax revenues by making painful cuts and raising fees. In Fremont County, a flap over library funding erupted over a $300,000 cut.

The belt tightening is only anticipated to grow more pronounced.

Good morning to everyone except the Republicans that blindly support this stupid "Big Beautiful Bill."

A big FU to Lummis, Barrasso and Hageman of WY. WY does not want a King or his supporters.

Recruits! The Mushroom Burrow call centers are active.

Who is your rep, and what issue will you be calling them about?

This good news isn't going to mean anything if they figure out ways to block or ignore the Parliamentarian's rulings.

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.
