California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

A mass boycott of any bookseller carrying those books sounds like a great idea.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

Mills knows how to friggin' GOVERN. I don't give a rat's patootie if she's "likeable" or not. She has been the only force standing between my elderly mother losing her Medicare and SNAP benefits. There is no better choice at this moment than Mills, much less a Nazi-tattooed liar.

Ciattarelli has spent years trying to slash police pay & benefits. He’s on record saying cops & firemen should earn less because he knows β€œpeople in even more dangerous jobs who are paid less.”

That’s is who he is folks.

Get out to early vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social TODAY!

I have lost no sleep about cutting off friends or family because of this. Not one single, solitary moment. I hope they eventually see the light, but I'm not holding my breath and I'm sure as heck not spending even a speck of my energy on them.

Exactly. Interestingly, outgoing Governor Janet Mills has thrown her hat in the ring as well. She's termed out of her current office. She may well have a window to defeat Collins in this.

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

My great uncle was a ball turret gunner on the B52 Flying Fortresses in World War II. He was not small, he was just 1/2 inch shorter than the next guy, LOL. (Gratefully, he came HOME. β™₯️)

Democratic governors know how to lead, deliver and fight for working families. Fantastic to be in Monroe with my friend Governor Shapiro this morning, firing voters up for the home stretch of this fight. 9 days and a wake up β€” let's land this thing, New Jersey.

I'm a straight white married 50-something; happy for the folks who love that stuff, but the algorithm likes to toss those my way as well and I am definitely NOT interested. If I wanted nudes or porn of any kind, I wouldn't go looking for it here. 100% agree with needing an opt-out.

Brings back memories for me! I was always the first kid in the house to wake up and for some reason decided I might as well start or stoke the woodstove fire. (East Machias kid, here.)

I'm agnostic and have no use for organized religion, but this hit even me like a gut punch. Cardboard cutouts of parishioners who reasonably fear for their safety because of this nation's disgustingly cruel and phenomenally racist regime. We have so much work to do. πŸ˜₯

Holy sh*t. Did he assign "renovation" of the White House's timeline to Big Balls or something?

Trust me, Goodell. This is the right choice. I can't believe you made it, and I sure hope you don't walk it back, but thank you for doing what's right. Not to mention that the Orange in Chief will personally assign you to painting every stadium in cheap gold spray paint if you give him an inch.
