“Voters didn’t turn out for Democrats last November - not because they don’t want us to fight for our values, but because they think we don’t want to fight for our values. We need to knock off the rust of poll-tested language, decades of stale decorum. It’s obscured our better instincts.” - Pritzker

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

Democrats, keep holding townhalls in red spaces. Our Republican Reps do not come home. They do not speak to us. They do not care about us. I know this, but I need my Republican neighbors to realize it. Come talk to them. Show them. Reach them. Rural Dem organizers on the ground can help.

1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.

Someday, when I think back to this time, however bad my memory is, I’ll remember the smirks. The smug self-satisfied evil-spirited infuriating smirks.

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

This isn’t just about Pete Hegseth. 🔴 Trump nominated him. 🔴 Republicans backed him. 🔴 JD Vance broke the tie to confirm him. He’s not an outlier—he’s exactly what you get with this corruption-coddling, chaos-driven administration.

So glad that members are going down to El Salvador to personally investigate what our government has been doing to over 250 men we’ve sent to be imprisoned for no crime without any trials.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

What an absolutely, lie-ridden, shameful response. This looks like something a playground bully would spew, not an elected member of congress. And yes, Comer lied here. A lot. He's a liar. Did I mention he's lying?

A Border Patrol official arrested a 19 yo citizen from Albuquerque in Arizona who didn’t have ID on him, claimed he ‘admitted’ to illegally crossing the border, abducted + ICE imprisoned him for 10 days, and would have deported him to Mexico if his family hadn’t tracked him down and provided his ID.

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL. Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.” Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.
