THIS is why it is so important to stand up, not cave in. Let's see what you've got, House Dems.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Anyone look over their old posts and see LOTS of old content labeled as SPAM by moderation? I haven't been here for a minute and just noticed that half my old posts are labeled as spam by moderation, including a post about BREAD. What?!

@slotkin.senate.gov It's not time to make a deal w/ Senate Rs. Fight for guaranteed extension of ACA tax credits. We WILL NOT SUPPORT any Dem who sells out the American people. We will fight to remove you from office if you strip already barely affordable healthcare from Americans.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

And you will cave and let them reopen the government without fixing ACA or extending tax credits. Resign and let someone else with a spine do the job.

Itโ€™s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?!

Iโ€™m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ainโ€™t cutting it.

Former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg looking into run for governor's office, sources say Nirenberg would need to boost his name recognition statewide and raise considerable funds to match Gov. Greg Abbott's $70 million war chest.

You know who isnโ€™t taking a beach vacation, or any family vacation this year, @fetterman.senate.gov? Millions of American families who just canโ€™t afford it. Stop your complaining and vote against any version of this terrible big bad billionaire bill.

What are you doing to support Progressive Dems and stop hedging your bets by siding with the very people who would dismantle our government? Because supporting Progressive Dems is how we move forward and flip everything.

It was incredible. So moving that Iโ€™ve already contacted one of the speakers to fully offer my campaign support WHEN he decides to run. TX Progressives are tired of this 30 year Reign of Republican Terror and political sidelining. Thatโ€™s exactly what this post was about: bsky.app/profile/jgil...
