Democrats don’t have to agree on everything. We just have to agree on one thing:

It’s time to win the general.

What if someone comes and abducts your family members?

It could happen.

There are untrained & unidentified thugs abducting, threatening & brutalizing immigrants as well as US citizens.

Couldn't anyone pretend to be an ice agent & kidnap people.

Yes! (See thread🧡)

Thank you Gov. Gavin Newsom @gavinnewsom.bsky.social for your leadership as our CA Governor! I loved hearing Newsom speak about his life, time in office, resistance to Trump/GOP at his book tour for β€œYoung Man In A Hurry” moderated by Crooked Media’s Tommy Vietor & Jon Favreau at the Ebell Theater!

She doesn’t raise her voice!
She raises accountability!

Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they weren’t!

Strong women don’t need permission!
They need evidence!
And she brought receipts!

She was labeled, bullied and threatened. Never once did she flinch!

She knew what her job was and she did it professionally and with dignity. She took everything the Trump regime threw at her and did her job remarkably well!

She is a perfect example of a strong women and a wonderful role model!

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Northern MI Wouldn't it be great to have a Rep in the US House who'd actually fight for us & what is important to us vs encouraging clear cutting old growth forest in the UP? Bayou Bergman could be working to protect the Boundary Waters that affect all the Great Lakes but billionaires control him

Iraq veteran Rep. Jason Crow (CO): One moment it’s regime change, the next an unverifiable imminent threat. Then it’s someone else about to start the war, so we must start it first. The story changes by the hour and by the person. It’s madnessβ€”our troops deserve far better.

Gov Newsom (D-CA) has #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy pegged, Trump is NOT a builder he’s a destroyer. He has wrecked our economy, made us not trust in our Democracy, trampled on our institutions, demolished the east wing of the White House, and broken up our alliances. Dude gotta go‼️

Father’s Murder Conviction in School Attack Puts New Onus on Parents

Don’t buy your kid an assault rifle.
Full stop.

β€œThe teenager had bursts of anger and nursed an obsession with school shooters. Instead of getting help, the father gave him an assault-style rifle as a Christmas gift and let him keep it in his room.”
