New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!

They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Pride Month Never Replaced Our Veterans It's a big calendar, folks.

"At least 120 days on the American calendar are dedicated to honoring our military, fallen service members, veterans, and their families — about a third of the full year."

The Law Firms That Appeased Trump—and Angered Their Clients After firms struck deals to avoid punitive executive orders, some big clients decided to take their business elsewhere.

Capitulation comes with a price, whether you're a law firm, a corporation, a media outlet, or a member of Congress. We will not forget nor forgive. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

So glad to see that cursive writing isn't a lost skill after all.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

My heartfelt suggestion for y'all today is staying offline for a few hours and doing something that brings you calm or joy. It was a long week, and it's not healthy to be constantly immersed in doomscrolling. Step away from the bullshit and replenish.

Luv This!!

Finally!! Should have been doing this all along!

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

What the fu@k. These people are sooo desperate😡

Dear ICE Agents:
When your parents told you that you could be anything you want when you grow up, they didn’t mean masked kidnappers.

🤦🏼 couldn’t make it up if we tried

I would like for stupid people to stop making important decisions that affect my life

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
