I think the Republican redistricting plan may backfire. If the wave is big enough they will lose seats that they created with illegal redistricting.

Tell that to my neighbor whose nephew was born in the USA and detained. She must think Americans are just stupid.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you’re serious about the national debt then you don’t fire IRS workers who bring in $6-8 of revenue for every $1 of their salary. That’s one of the best returns you can find.

28% of unpaid taxes come from the top 1% households.

We are fortunate to have Sen Warnock in the Senate as a voice of faith in these times.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Today, I filed a #HatchAct complaint against @forestservice.bsky.social Chief Tom Schultz for violating 5 U.S.C. Β§ 7324, prohibition on political activities

We won’t tolerate partisan messages from USFS, which manages 40% of Idaho’s land for *all* Idahoans. Follow the Constitution.

A Solution to Abuse of Executive Power Both parties have misused presidential power. Congress must act to end it.

In the wake of the president’s abuses of power, it won’t be enough for politicians to merely orate about restoring the rule of law. The only way to overcome that skepticism is with action.

Axios Hill Leaders - πŸ’° Sneaky shutdown threat

On the brink of a govt shutdown, Dems plan huddle in Napa while GOP plans retreat in Sea Island, GA. Both parties sipping wine at resorts while Americans brace for lost paychecks and massive disruption to govt services.
The 2 party system is broken.

This fight is not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom. I’ve been saying this since day ONE of my campaign for U.S. Senate.
