Claudia is 100X the ideal female role model I want for my granddaughters than all the MAGA makeover phonies in Trumpsโ€™ regime.

Gang of 8 are just the safety pawns. Sacrifices so the old guard leaders who were scared (and likely shocked) on Nov. 4 can pretend to care what we think and add a meaningless notch in their midterm belts.

Wow - what a random coincidence that the 8
capitulators all had safe sets or were retiring - almost like it was set up that way so the other Pilateโ€™s could wash their hands?

We all know what happened here.

You conveniently picked the senators who were not up for re-election to be the ones to cave and give MAGA just enough votes to get what they wanted so the people who are still running for another term can save face and not have it hurt their elections. Full stop

Who thought it was a good idea to bribe people to work past their physical limits and endanger lives?

Most TC who are taking time off are NOT doing so because they arenโ€™t being paid, but because they cannot work for weeks/hours on end with no break. No controller of integrity will take this $10K.

The ones with experience and integrity realize when they are too tired to work safely.

Any idiot who thinks Trump is actually going after insurance companies has another scam coming.

There's not an ounce of empathy in our current administration.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And itโ€™s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

CALL FOR REFORM:

We need laws that stop govnt shutdowns entirely.

If Congress canโ€™t compromise, funding should auto-continue at prior levels. We must put an end to abusive leveraging tactics & the chaos.

Also, if the govnt does shut down, NO PAY for lawmakers until it reopens.

Full stop.

Thereโ€™s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline

He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

There are people who think that America is only big enough for some of us. Yesterday, voters reminded us how big America can be.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas.

But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community.

It was standing room only.

I donโ€™t know how many times Iโ€™ve watched this video.

I donโ€™t know how weโ€™ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while theyโ€™re watching children.

But I do know that this isnโ€™t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Trump: I demolished the Peopleโ€™s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care.

Tonightโ€ฆ

The People: Our turn, motherfucker.

ICE ADMITTED they had mistakenly yanked them as they drove to school BUT CONTINUED TO HOLD THEM!

A Purple Finch on a branch with out of focus berries and branches in the green background.  The bird is red with brown patches on his face and chest.  The wings are brown with reddish areas.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
