This is the latest GOP effort to silence pro-democracy voters nationwide and lock in Trump's authoritarian rule for years to come. It's outrageous!

While @ncgoverner.bsky.social lacks the ability to veto their brazen move, it will be challenged in local courts. Indeed, we must demand it! #ncpol

Mikie Sherrill is calling out RFK Jr., Trump, and Jack Ciattarelli for pushing reckless lies claiming Tylenol is unsafe for pregnant women.

Their disinformation endangers lives.

New Jersey needs a governor who defends science, health, and truth. #VoteNJ

🎧 The Trump regime illegally leaked Mikie Sherrill's unredacted military file to Jack Ciattarelli’s ally, putting her private information at risk.

Beyond being morally reprehensible, such dirty moves are threats to national security.

The good news? Veterans across America have her back! #VoteNJ

We seem to be at a stalemate.

"Radical" Democrats want to save lives, while Republicans want to thin the herd. 🤔

Seth joins the conversation about magical "secret healing technologies," like health insurance...and $5 footlongs. 🤭

P.S. Tell Republicans to do their damn jobs!

Democrats showed up to negotiate in good faith. Trump showed up to play cruel games.

Jack Ciattarelli’s campaign illegally got their hands on Mikie Sherrill’s unredacted military records.

She has nothing to hide, but that’s not the point.

If they’ll violate a Navy Vet & Congresswoman’s privacy, no one is safe from their dirty tricks.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill served with honor as a Naval Officer. But the GOP is weaponizing wrongfully released military documents to smear her "flawless military record."

Lt Col (Ret.) Casey Moes—a 20-year Army Veteran & West Point instructor—lays down the facts! ‼️ @votevets.org

🎤 Top Journo Elizabeth Warren has the mic, and she isn't playing softball! 😂

Bottom line: Trump would rather shut down the government than work with Democrats.

His budget serves the wealthiest 1%, NOT the remaining 99% of us! We Americans deserve so much better!

🎧 Don’t Let Them Lie to You!

The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, and the lives & livelihoods of 15M people are on the line!

If the government shuts down, it's because THEY chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the American people.

NO FUCKING KINGS 🚫👑🇺🇸

They rig maps, disenfranchise voters, & rip away freedoms our ancestors fought & bled for.

They try to silence journalists, comedians, and cartoonists.

But we choose DEMOCRACY over dictatorship.

🧵 From the 1890s - the 1930s, the Daughters of the Confederacy martyred Confederate soldiers by perpetuating falsehoods about the root cause of the American Civil War.

They erected monuments to honor racists, blamed abolitionists for the war, and painted slavery as an act of benevolence.

Living with daily floods of bad news, it's easy to lose sight of all the GOOD out there.

My husband and I went for a walk today. Along the path we chose is The Woodland Journal, where walkers and joggers stop to leave messages (and their worries) behind.

Oh, SMACK. Alex Padilla nails it! 📣

If they were going after "law-breakers," they wouldn't be stalking immigrants who are dutifully following the legal process.

If they were going after people for not paying their way, they wouldn't be hunting down taxpayers!
