Illinois has had record breaking new business creation, yet the Trump Administration is closing off help to small businesses and putting jobs at risk. Americans first? Not with this move! Trump is hurting businesses and workers that need SBA support.

I feel like “Republicans stole 32 grand from you last year, and that was before they broke into the treasury” would be good messaging.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it. Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago. Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

This is how it’s done folks. If your rep won’t hold a town hall because they know what they’re doing is unpopular, hold one for them and let everyone in your community know what they’re up to.

Democrats stop being terrified of being called a socialist challenge. They’re going to call you one regardless. When they do say “Yes, that’s right, unlike Republicans I think American society should be defended and nurtured, not demolished by bigots and sold by billionaires and bosses.”

This is why I'm on the other side of the "don't be hostile to repentant Trump voters". They outright love Trump more than their own family members. And these are not children who don't understand consequences. They know the choices they've made are repugnant, but do not care.

every day of my life i wake up, read the worst scariest thing i've ever read, scroll down and immediately see a democrat scolding their constituents for begging them to do something about it and i wonder when enough will be enough and at this point i'm forced to assume the answer is "never"

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Democratic Party leadership is "very unhappy" with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics like outfit coordination and refusal to clap. Until every leader in this party is replaced, they won’t get a single penny from me ever again.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

So great to see groups practicing community care. We need to do this more than ever in light of mass dismantling of government institutions.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Seven federal prosecutors, many appointed by Republicans, chose to give up their careers rather than participate in an alleged quid pro quo. Mayor Eric Adams' dropped charges aren't just about NYC—any city could be next.

the purpose of banning section 230 is to ban all political, sexual, or critical speech from the internet this is to silence grassroots movements that don’t have the explicit sanction of the wealthy and powerful you are an abject moron or a liar if you believe it has any other purpose

We are 10 years into the Trump era, we watched a speech in which Trump castigated Dems as 'radical left lunatics' & used a racist jibe against a Dem senator, & Democratic Congressman Jim Himes voted to censure Al Green because of the importance of 'decorum' & 'civility. Really? Really?? SHEESH.

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine. Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community. It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.

The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously. You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.
