SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The GOP’s coalition is holding on by a bare thread and when Trump is gone it will fall apart. Our task (and it’s not easy!) is to build a Democratic Party capable of picking up the pieces.

Not a damn lie spoken from the OP or Vice President Harris
It’s not just the Party…a lot of democratic voters do too.
Before anyone jumps in to say otherwise I guarantee you l don’t know a single Black Woman on Bluesky that can’t provide you weekly if not daily examples 🤷🏾♀️

I wouldn't be here today without the thousands of New Jerseyans who volunteered their time to knock doors, make phone calls, and send texts.
In the final 18 days alone, you knocked over 400,000 doors and made over 3.2 million calls. I couldn't be more grateful for this team.

The President is openly defying a court order just to rip food away from starving families. So much for the rule of law. So much for basic humanity. This cruel, lawless man is hell-bent on inflicting pain on the American people—because that’s all he knows how to do.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

If the bottom falls out for Virginia GOP, keep an eye out on House of Delegates

We’ll see where it ends up, but they are aiming for 60 seats and not out of question

By 51-42 vote, the Virginia House votes to pass a resolution that would allow a mid-decade redistricting. This must pass the Senate and then pass both bodies once more after the upcoming election, and then the voters of Virginia will weigh in.
