Just a friendly reminder that this is the party that wants to take away all regulations for our air and water, but suddenly they need to test for BC and mifepristone, this is all about control.

Listen, if they really cared about girl’s sports, they would make sure that girls have the same access as boys to funding. Or facilities. Or coaches. Or uniforms. Or bus budgets.
They don’t care about girl’s sports. They care about punching down on a minuscule number of trans athletes.

NEW: Lawmakers in at least seven states are filing more than a dozen bills to expand abortion access.
Some were introduced in direct response to ProPublica’s reporting on the fatal consequences of abortion bans.

Elon Musk, who got exactly zero votes and is constitutionally ineligible to be president, bought the United States of America and feels entitled to call the shots on keeping the government open.
Now he wants the debt ceiling raised so that Trump can get the tax cuts through—for him (Elon).

I talk about engaging rural folks because I know there is opportunity in rural spaces. If Democrats will just spend time and resources there…if we build the infrastructure in the off years, we can win. We don’t have to flip rural districts— just get 5% more rural folks to vote for Dems. Then we win.

True! Vivek Ramaswamy was appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory commission. This role is a presidential appointment, not an elected position, making Ramaswamy an unelected federal official.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.
Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…
