"That's absolutely a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that" -- Hakeem Jeffries was not happy when CNBC's Rebecca Quick claimed he actually wants healthcare costs to go up to score political points on Republicans

Tennessee Dems think they might be able to pull an upset in the #TN07 race in two weeks.

@cookpolitical.com still ranks this race as Likely Republican.

Do you think Democrats can flip this race Blue?

Governor signs legislation making college tuition-free - Office of the Governor - Michelle Lujan Grisham

We also have tuition free college and universities, and cost free breakfast and lunch for all of our children.
Remember that we are not a wealthy blue state. In fact we're the least wealthy and therefore continually mislabeled as a red state.

In Mississippi, Democrats Hope New Maps Lead to Statehouse Wins

These Mississippi elections were called to rectify the GOP’s racial gerrymandering. If these Dems win their races, they will break the GOP supermajority in the state Senate, increasing their power to fight back against Republican recklessness.

Why is educational attainment so predictive of partisan alignment? We’ve been moving that direction for a while. What happens at college has something to do with resentments of non-college voters. Thread on The Hard Hat Riots…

It’s nice watching people amplifying more and more Dems fighting back, but I still get comments asking why they aren’t talking about this thing or that thing, and I just sight and say β€œthey are, it’s just not being amplified.

Democrats Bid to Become the Party of Cheap Energy: Exclusive Representatives Sean Casten and Mike Levin have a new package of legislation designed to lower electricity prices β€” in a way that just so happens to be β€œclean.”

NEWS: I've just released the Cheap Energy Agenda with @levin.house.gov.

Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.

Republicans blocked that bill and left town.

If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.

Remember everyone, STATES run our elections.

Generations of Americans before us didn’t die for our rights just for us to cower before a big-bellied small-brained orange idiot.

(Besides, GOP votes by mail too. Good luck taking away the convenience from them, Trump)

TX Dems these past couple of weeks stopped a GOP attempt to rig the state's congressional races, fleeing to IL to deny the votes needed for it. IL Gov Pritzker protected them from arrest. This spurred CA and NY Dems to start redrawing their maps. Good. Dems, keep fighting.

In November, Dems need to support the three Pennsylvania State Supreme Court justices for β€œretention”, otherwise Trump and the GOP will be happy to replace all of them.
