Russia sends stolen Ukrainian children to North Korea to become militarized.

Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

🤷🏼

They’re murdering people they merely “suspect” of being drug traffickers, yet Trump wants to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández—who was convicted and sentenced to 45 years for trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

Wait, what?

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

🎄For those who celebrate Xmas with gift-giving, we have important choices in the next 30 days.

My plan:
🎅🏼
0 $ at Target, Amazon, Home Depot

🍗
Smaller holiday meals & more $ to food donations

📗
Purchase gifts made locally or sold by local stores (especially books)

🎁
Let’s gift the country we want

Here's a seven-point peace plan:

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

The Fair Representation Act is the most important of all bills to the future of our democracy. We must achieve proportional representation.

Notably the one politician in the country who most plausibly owed his seat to single-winner ranked choice voting recognized it was an insufficient reform and wanted to explore multi-member districts and proportional representation.

If Democrats somehow win back Congress and the presidency with majorities willing to pass wholesale reforms and rein in the Supreme Court, enacting proportional representation needs to be near the top of the agenda

What I wouldn’t give for a parliamentary republic with proportional representation right about now

Proportional representation, explained Proportional representation is an electoral system that elects multiple representatives in each district in proportion to the number of people who vote for them.

Americans are more open than ever to adopting proportional representation, according to a Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll. Learn more about this path out of our winner-take-all elections gridlock: https://protectdemocracy.org/work/proportional-representation-explained/

Senate reaches deal to extend government funding in major sign shutdown is poised to end | CNN Politics A critical group of at least eight Senate Democratic centrists has reached a deal with Senate GOP leaders and the White House to reopen the government in exchange for a future vote on extending enhanc...

This is why we need proportional representation.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

After this Senate BS, it is imperative in 2026 we have candidates who take campaign donations like Citizens United is overturned. Change can’t come if politicians serve corporations over constituents. We must launch a public financing system to support these candidates with alternate funding ASAP.
