So Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormickis suing her 26 year old primary opponent Elijah Manley for defamation.

Just so people know, itโ€™s nearly impossible for a politician to win a case against someone for defaming them, especially someone running against them.

This is insane.

I just pitched in to the Manley Legal Fund. Elijah's opponent filed a frivolous lawsuit against him, falsely claiming defamation of character, libel, and slander. Her goal? To have him spend thousands of dollars to get it thrown out. While w...

Shiesty Sheilaโ€™s goal: force me to pay thousands๐Ÿ’ฐto get her frivolous lawsuit thrown out.

Thatโ€™s what a loser does. She will lose this lawsuit and we will crush her in the most painful way imaginable in the August Democratic Primary. Donate to our legal fund:

Stories like mine are not the typical stories you hear in the halls of Congress. A little over a decade ago, my family and I were in chronic homelessness.

Now I'm running for Congress to push back against the bullshit and rigged economy that crushes the souls of working people.

Endorse Elijah for FL-20!

We are a people-powered campaign with grassroots momentum. It's how we've raised half a million from 18,000 people from all walks of life. We will win this primary, and it will be because of you.

If you live in South Florida, can you add your name to my list of community endorsers? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

DeSantisโ€™ attack on this Florida congressional district could have sweeping implications Gov. Ron DeSantis wants the boundaries of Floridaโ€™s 20th Congressional District changed before the 2026 elections, arguing that districtโ€™s structure is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.โ€ฆ

In 2022, Jim Crow Ron got rid of Al Lawsonโ€™s black seat in North Florida. Now heโ€™s thinking of doing the same thing with my district (FL-20).

Over my dead body.

Daniel Perez says Florida House will move forward with congressional redistricting The state currently has 20 Republican U.S. House members and 8 Democrats. Can that balance shift further right?

Theyโ€™re rigging the game mid-decade because they canโ€™t win on their own merits, and black voters will likely be targeted the most. Thatโ€™s how we do thangz down here in the South. Thatโ€™s how republicans work.

My remarks at the Broward School Board today were in support of school lunch debt relief and universal school meals.

The Trump administration cut crucial programs and took food out of the mouths of children. We will find a way to ensure that no child in Broward goes hungry.

Hi Ellie, Iโ€™m open to have dialogue about my candidacy. Iโ€™m not a Trumper, I am a Democrat. Iโ€™m not running against a GOPer, because I live in a blue seat. I am running where I live. We shouldnโ€™t support people because of their skin color. My opponent is a black woman, but she isnโ€™t a good Democrat.

As Gen Z myself, Iโ€™m proud to endorse @elijahmanley.bsky.social for Congress in Floridaโ€™s 20th District.

Elijah stands for justice, equality, and a future that actually works for everyone. We need voices like his in Washington now more than ever.

Republicans have passed the big nasty bill, slashing your Medicaid and taking healthcare away from 17M Americans, including seniors, disabled people, pregnant women, and children. Vote them out.

Republicans voted to gut your Medicaid, and healthcare for your kids because they donโ€™t give af about you. They only care about billionaires and their corporate donors. Tell everyone you know.

Frightening. I am glad that they caught this individual before he posed a threat to all of us celebrating pride this weekend. Be safe yโ€™all!

Once again, this is a line that should not be crossed. Using the U.S. military against Americans on American soil is not only illegal, it will erode trust in the United States government and our armed forces. This is a crime and any official who orders this is committing treason.
