I mean, you first should talk to all the other Todds you can find that are doing cool things.

he played one of the most famous fictional undocumented immigrants in the world, that the United States just accepted without question because Superman was such an upstanding and productive member of his community. Hope, belonging, purpose all things I associate with immigrants coming to America.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

seems to be a slogan not just for our times but for his campaign too: 'Moore of what they want and deserve'

‘Not a Damned Penny.’ Texas Flood Survivors Look for Help

Dear Democrats, if you want to stand out in Texas, do what the state is not doing and help individuals in Kerrville

If they are willing to roll over on science about climate change, what would they be willing to roll over on next with our environment?

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Exclusive: Dems propose corporate PAC ban Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin will introduce the Ban Corporate PACs Act.

Washington is broken because our leaders serve corporations and billionaires - not the people.

From Day One of this campaign I’ve refused to accept a dime of corporate PAC money. I’m calling on folks on both sides of the aisle to join me.

A union Brotherhood pulls the plug on its Sisters - NW Labor Press The United Brotherhood of Carpenters union is ditching its women’s group and pulling out of tradeswomen and Pride events.

@lizshuler.bsky.social do we know if this is just an isolated case? nwlaborpress.org/2025/07/a-un...

AFL-CIO Report: Is DOGE’s Antonio Gracias Mishandling Retiree Investments? Elon Musk’s replacement is busy with mass deportation, while simultaneously running an investment firm managing public union pension funds.

Antonio Gracias' day job is running an investment firm that plays an important role in many public union workers’ pension funds. So why is he also undermining working people with a second/third/fourth job at DOGE? America's unions have questions.

Sent this poster recently. A powerful reminder why we should all be #registered & #vote. It is from the #1970s, and I'm sure #MLKjr was a fresh memory for many. #posters #political

Transgender people notch rare win in fight over Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ ‘I think there are a lot of people who are rightfully relieved,’ Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of congress, tells The Independent

Thank you @wyden.senate.gov . A win is a win, especially in these difficult times.

#PFAS isn't going away and cutting funding to the EPA isn't helping our communities. Congress needs to show up and remember that its job isn't to always follow the president of their party but to hold administrations in check when they veer too far away from the public good.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

They are the swamp.

J.D. Vance’s Master Plan For Citizens United 2.0 The vice presidential candidate is helping spearhead a lawsuit designed to prompt the Supreme Court’s destruction of some of the country’s last remaining campaign finance laws.

While everyone was focused on the tax bill, JD Vance just advanced his lawsuit aiming to expand the Citizens United decision before the 2026 election, so billionaires have an even easier time buying elections.

The case was just accepted by the Supreme Court.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

Climate change may be fueling tree pest outbreaks in Oregon Annual cold snaps have kept some invasive tree pests in check, but outbreaks could become more common with warming temperatures.

With temperatures rising — especially in the winter — Oregon's forests have become more hospitable for some destructive bugs like spruce aphids, balsam woolly adelgids and emerald ash borers.

Nothing seems more Trump than telling everyone he dropped a bunch of bombs and then asking for peace all in a single tweet.

#handsoff #nokings and the many other mass rallies/protests we will have will mean nothing come 2026 if you don't find other people at these events and bring them into whatever organizing you are associated with. It doesn't have to be a national group, but it does need to be one you care about.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

so many people today think they want to be snake charmers. It's a little funny, but mostly sad.

Tim Walz takes a shot at Susan Collins: "She's always 'deeply concerned' about things. Well do something then, about being 'deeply concerned.'"

Thrilled with the results from Election Night, but glad to move on to getting our district budget reviewed and adopted. #vote #water #budgets #orpol

The House Just Passed The Biggest Medicaid Cut in U.S. History, Twice the Size of Reagan's Cuts So much for realignment. New analysis from UnidosUS shows the House’s cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are unprecedented, twice as large as anything under President Reagan,

When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy.
