Alex Rikleen

I'm happy for Mookie.
(I'll never understand that trade.)

If you'd rather avoid that case, there's still plenty of other things you could have inserted into that post in its place and the point still stands. There is plenty of evidence to connect Trump to Epstein, Trump to young girls, and Trump to rape/sexual assault. The only open Q is all 3 together.

And it is an indication that the 7 million estimate may be low!
Perhaps very low!
Maybe 8% of people polled are telling the truth!
Estimating attendance at 2,700+ combined nationwide events is hard!

My quick guess would be the answer is in the middle. More than 7m (~2%), but way less than 8%.

8% would be well over 20 million, so probably a "more people say they were at the super super bowl than tickets sold" phenomenon going on.

But, the fact that people may *want* to lie to anonymous pollsters about attending these protests is an incredible testament to their popularity.

I'm running against Moulton. I don't have to go out of my way to praise him. But I'm glad he's pressing this issue and bringing it up in front of a large audience.

So, sure, Scarborough was technically correct to say that we do not (yet) have any proof that Trump raped little girls *as part of the Epstein case*.

But Scarborough is flat wrong to imply that there is ~no~ proof of Trump being engaged in the kind of pedophilic rape Epstein did.

Moulton was absolutely in the right to bring this up - and, frankly, could have gone harder to defend himself.

We *know* Trump was named repeatedly in the Epstein files.
We *know* Trump has been accused of raping a 13-year-old & of invading the Miss Teen USA locker room. 1/

Op-Ed: A stronger response to Trump overreach is direly needed With each passing day, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer continues to lose the support of demographics he desperately needs to retain, including millennials like me. His recent responses to the …

There is a direct connection between Schumer's press tour insisting that it will only matter if/when Trump defies SCOTUS, and the admin's increasingly brazen disregard of the rest our judicial system.

Top Democrats literally downplayed this behavior in the Spring.
The results are predictable.

The President hosting a Gatsby themed party at his resort as 42 million Americans are minutes away from losing access to food is just so on the nose.

Thuggish criminal behavior.
There is no possible defense for punching someone repeatedly in the face who is already completely subdued beneath you.
This agent should be fired and arrested.

Judges order federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP during shutdown. Follow live updates. - The Boston Globe The rulings came a day before the Department of Agriculture planned to freeze payments to the nation’s biggest food aid program because it said it could no longer keep funding it due to the shutdown.

This is excellent news.

The Trump administration must adhere to the courts' rulings.

Email from the Markey campaign sent 10/30. Details irrelevant.

Exact same email, except for deleting "Senator Markey here" from the opening sentence, sent from the Markey campaign on 8/13.

Campaign fundraising emails are a window into a campaign and a candidate.

For example, if a campaign sends you identical emails 2 months apart, it shows that they're stale and lack attention to detail.

As many have pointed out, there *are* legal avenues available to keeping SNAP funded.

But that's getting into a level nuance that is unnecessary.

This administration doesn't care what the law is! If he wanted to pay for SNAP, he'd do it, regardless of the law!

Important to remember about the pending SNAP cuts:
This is a choice Trump is making.

He has shown, repeatedly, that he will ignore the law on spending.
He doesn't care what the law says.
He wants to make people go hungry.

The only metaphor that rivals Trump destroying the White House is Mike Johnson closing the House of Representatives indefinitely. Congress is the first branch. The “People’s House” is our most democratic institution. GOP is literally closing down democracy.

Pentagon Admits It Has No Idea Who’s on “Drug Boats” Being Bombed A Democratic lawmaker revealed the shocking detail after a Pentagon briefing for members of Congress.

They are just bombing random fishing boats and creating ex post justifications.

Alex Rikleen makes a run for U.S. Senate for Massachusetts Markey hasn't officially announced a run for re-election, but he has alluded to the possibility.

Trump is literally using starvation of Americans as leverage in political negotiations.

He's not wrong with his main point, but.... does he think the government shut down in March?

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.

Some of the proposed rules impact 18-year-olds, too.
Also known as adults.

Hateful, senseless, and in direct contradiction of what doctors actually recommend for their patients.

I hope all of Congress speaks out against this.

Thank you!

If you want to support a candidate who won’t throw trans people (and other marginalized communities) under the bus when it’s politically convenient, consider supporting Alex Rikleen!

Donald Trump actively encourages violence against his political opponents.

He has been crystal clear on this since the 2016 campaign, when he promised to cover legal fees for rally-goers who attacked protesters or media.

It is one of his few truly consistent positions.

I support Alex Rikleen! If you're ready for a campaign built on courage, not compromise, chip in now to help us take this fight to Washington.

So, if you can contribute to help the campaign keep paying its bills & spreading the message - that our current Dems are not doing enough - I really appreciate your donation.

If you can't, I understand. Help spread the word. We're all doing what we can.
Thanks.

It stinks to ask for money for a campaign when so many people are struggling.
When millions of people don't know if they will have food this weekend.
Campaign finance reform is one of my top priorities for a reason.
But that's why I'm trying to get in there and change the system.

But we're getting close to the point where getting more attention requires more funding.

It's a messed up system, but some outlets or organizations look at a campaign's balance sheet before deciding whether to talk to them.

This linktree has a more comprehensive list and goes father back in time - but even this doesn't have everything!
Which is a good thing - the campaign is getting enough attention that some stories are escaping out google alerts!
