Yesterday I was on the ground in Pensacola supporting @gayforcongress—a friend, a leader, and a fierce advocate for gun safety. Running for Floridas 1st congressional April 1st

Two of the most important congressional races in the country right now are happening in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. If we win both, and we win former Congressman Turner’s seat in Houston, Democrats can tie Republicans in the House—giving us the power to stop the worst of the GOP.
Gay is running against Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s former CFO, who—let’s be clear—took money from the insurance industry while Floridians saw their rates skyrocket. He had the power to do something about it. Instead, he did nothing. And now, he wants a promotion.
This isn’t an easy race. None of them are. But that’s not the point. The point is that we have an obligation to show up and fight—everywhere, in every district, no matter how tough. Because what’s at stake isn’t just a seat in Congress
It’s the future of our veterans, our scientists, our seniors, our disabled Americans—people whose livelihoods are threatened by Republican efforts to slash jobs, weaken the VA, and defund Social Security and Medicaid.
Even if you aren't in her district, you can do your part. Call, write, email, protest. We are even holding the line in South Carolina (barely). If we can do it, nearly anyone can.
Bless you both! So glad to see you out there David! I made a contribution to Gay's campaign...here's hoping some of those Florida voters have woken up.
The entire country is rooting for you. People have been calling and mailing Florida residents from other states making sure they are aware of the election. You got this Gay!! If you all have a go fund me, please pass on the link.
Thank you. People need to understand the races to elect Gay and Weil for Congress are so important. More democratic members of congress need to get involved.
Come on, vote more women in the office! It will piss off the convicted🍊💩 felon & plus it's International Women's Day. She stands for freedom, gun control, anti-abortion, DEI, --- everything the 🍊💩 hates!! 💙🧢🤬💪
Hey David! I first followed your acct back on twitter. Don't know how or why I didn't remember to follow you here. Just corrected that dumb oversight.
I'm glad to see you still active and continuing to fight the good fight!

In 23 days there's a special election in FL congressional districts 1 & 6... Dems Josh Weil and Gay Valimont really have a good chance to win! They need our help---so check in with them, knock doors, make calls, donate... "Stopping MAGA, DOGE, and Project 2025 starts here..." 💪
People in Florida, get out and knock on doors and spread the word, we need Gay in Congress to help the democrats take back the house. April 1st get out and vote!
I never watch WEAR because they are owned by Sinclair, so nothing but far right propaganda. But I have seen her signs out on HWY 98 and tv ads on other local stations here in Dist 1
Finally‼️t thank you who else is joining you. Need lots of Democrats there & the other 2 districts too. Open the coffers Get the ads out so much to build on since the distraction that started on 20 of January
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
We encourage early voting, paper ballots, hand delivered to the polls, to thwart voter suppression. If you are helping canvass or phone bank, please let your voters be aware.
Early voting was apparently badly hacked likely in tabulators in the swing states in the 2024 US election, so we need forensic audits of everything now. I'm sure HRC's 2016 election was stolen, too, and how many corrupt GOP Senators are usurpers as well?
I don't know what air-gapping is, no need to explain.
The articles and videos in that thread show what was found in forensic date analysis and now they have lawyers and head to court with findings to get tabulator access to find hacker algorithmic code--my take on it.
1. Any citizen can pay for an audit for any reason. It's set law in every State I know of.
2. In every case I'm aware of, everything at a polling location is air gapped. Laptops are updated the day before, then data is pulled from each booth. A lot of places are not electronic only. 1/

Can the initial election be all paper ballots, counted by hand, with no tabulators? Since the opposition knows about these percentages, they would likely make the margin greater than that to force us to pay.
Whats going on there? Any bases losing civil service jobs? Disgruntled active duty? People on ss/ssdi/mc? Its a tough district to win for a D. But its a different kinda day
Good work, David! How can the democrats have a series of family meetings? I volunteer to be part of the solution! We need one voice and we need to tell others how they should treat us.
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Still pushing gun control bullshit while the rest of us are getting armed to the teeth. Fukin Democratic party is out of fukin touch with the reality of the situation. 😳
There's a bloody civil war coming, everyone knows it, & yet the Dem politicians act like we're going to vote these shitheads out of power. How fucking blind can someone be? 😳
I actually agree in this case. Gun control? How about social security, Medicaid, education, women’s rights and citizens being disappeared by ICE to name a few. This is not regular times. We’re dealing with a coup.
Big fan. No idea of her constituents but maybe “they want to take away your social security and medicaid” is an easier sell than gun safety. Get the seat then tackle guns.
All the damage will be done by 2026, forget about 2028. WE get that orange motherfucker out NOW, or NO future elections will matter. Do ANY of my fellow countrymen comprehend how badly he devastated our country in just the past week? If not, you're lowballing reality and need to wake the fuck up.
These idiots are still talking about gun control, they're hopelessly stupid. JFC we need a real leftist party in this country - after the bloodshed that's coming.

In times of uncertainty, people need reassurance. They need to know there is a plan, that their leaders are prepared, and that someone is fighting for them.
So far, Democratic leadership has failed miserably. They have shown no clear plan, no decisive action, and no strength when it matters most.

Please keep us posted on the FL races! You can be a force at DNC. It NEEDS an information hub, w/ accessible accurate data to dispel the overwhelming right wing media firehose.
They want to overthrow democracy. Please get DNC to act like it.
Thank you. As a parent who has had to stress every day for 15 years, I appreciate anything and everything you’ve done that made my boys even an inkling of a bit safer.
I'm so very proud of you, David. I've watched you grow from a student of trauma to an activist for gun rights and safety. Thank you for your integrity. We look for more good things from you!
Hey David! Can you get your friend to include some details, on her campaign site, about how she is going to “fight for” or “work to”…. Sounds like “concepts of a plan”. I was trying to donate, but couldn’t in good conscience because of the lack of specifics for so many important issues.

Later this month, I’ll be in Florida’s 6th to support @JoshWeilFL6. Because every seat counts, and every fight matters. Let’s get to work.
HUD had major cuts, lots of staff fired, vouchers at risk of being cancelled, affordable housing unfunded.
Va cuts are drastic. Support the soldiers bumper sticker is only while they’re deployed, when they come home they’re disposable.
Sad
(In mom-voice) please put on more sunscreen
1. Tax Guns based on Caliber-
.22 hand gun @ 25%
AR-15 Rifle @ 75%
2. Tax Rounds (ammunition) based on caliber
.22 Round - @ 25% each -
50 caliber @ 100%
3. Require Liability Insurance - just like a car
also, like above, based on the caliber of the weapon.
I will!!
Go organize the big number of young people you claim to hold sway over.
I'll be watching. From here.
But, as a reminder, fascism wasn't defeated in offices or a courtroom.
It took brave soldiers and guns.

Don't let the Dems concede without a complete audit, including tabulators. Consult Election Truth Alliance.

Floridians, join me!!!
Florida doesn’t have a recall mechanism for Senators, but since we’re ignoring the rules….
Let’s remove this fraud, waste and abuse. Let’s raise our collective voice and send a message!!!
https://chng.it/s6J7sfDmHD
demand a hand count if she loses
enough 'norms'
fight back
There are multiple experts who have clearly outlined that tabulators were hacked and how
only way to verify, is hand count
If a candidate wants a recount outside of that, they have to pay for it, but can specify hand count for the process.
for one district, it would probably cost 1$million or so...
Power to the People 🗽🇱🇷
I hope they don’t change her name, ya know, DEI and all.

I hope your friend wins!
And while you are at it, could you give us some help here too. We will appreciate it. Thanks 🙏

If that person is a woman, and the video is shot on International Women's Day, shouldn't that apply doubly so?
I could be wrong.
Pentagon u must send her help to defend the nation
I worked that area for Obama 08' where we flipped 22K red to blue....
Be a real progressive and they will come !
She just has to win!
( :D )
Seriously, good luck! Her name alone will have them upset for years ....
