A packed house, standing room only, and overflow for the @rokhanna.bsky.social town hall today. After this stop he’s heading to red districts. We need more democrats to start showing up and doing this.

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for standing up/speaking out, for courage, humility & genuine concern for the lives of others & listening. You demonstrate what we crave from Democrats - defense of democracy, respect for working class, concern for the elderly, the poor & protecting all under attack.

My opponent recently shared his March Madness bracket. He's 100% worried about the wrong match. In Congress, I'll fight to protect this community and lower costs. He’ll head to D.C. to help Trump and Musk slash your Social Security and Medicare. Florida’s 1st District: #VoteValimont on April 1!

The Trump administration just shut down a food safety committee to prevent bacteria in baby formula. They are also threatening to fire employees who prevent deli meat from being infected with Listeria and applesauce from being laced with lead.

Today's thank you goes to @pocan.house.gov‬ for providing town halls where others will not. This is something every American citizen should be able to participate in. Thank you Rep. Pocan for finding the time, for doing something so worthwhile in our fight for America -- our fight for Democracy!

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza. I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

Trump and Musk have cut vital programs at the VA, leaving many veterans in crisis abandoned. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

Tempting as it is to focus and fixate on every element of Trump's speech promoting the destruction of our union, this hot mic moment crystallizes it all. /1

Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social for fighting for democracy. You communicate in a way that is clear, assertive and factual. You are an advocate for your constituents and for all of us who believe in a better world. As my mother used to say "Keep up the good work."

Today's thank you note is going to @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, the Senator I wish I had. Sadly, I'm in FL. Senator Murphy fights for people, he has a deep commitment to democracy. Following and learning from people like him is my reminder to do something every day to make a positive difference.

Today's thank you goes to Rep Maxwell Frost @maxwellfrost.bsky.social. He fights for Americans. He stands up for those in harms way. He is a light in the darkest of tunnels helping to lead us to a better tomorrow. I am proud to be his constituent. The Progressive Caucus is demonstrating leadership.

BIG TIME THIS. I want one reporter or one senator who is questioning a nominee...ask them flat out "do you think black people are unqualified to be in XYZ position? Do you think women are unqualified to be pilots/doctors/senators?" Just. Ask. Them.

Sent my thank you to Christopher Gibbs @chrisrgibbs.bsky.social today. He was formerly a chair for the Republican Party in Ohio and is now actively involved with the Democratic Party. I really appreciate and support people who move forward to a more respectful, compassionate, and decent party.

Today I wrote a thank you note to Amanda Litman @runforsomething.bsky.social for the on-going work she and her organization are doing to improve the world we live in. On this dark day, I needed to do something to share some light. We make a tiny monthly donation, but kind words are needed too.

I volunteer with the best FL State Rep, @annaforflorida.bsky.social, but it’s not enough in this hateful environment. So, I'll let people know I appreciate them. When able, I will make a small donation. This week, I donated and wrote a thank-you note to a local candidate. P.S. Hand-written is best.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

This is how it's done. If they come for our neighbors and we stand there and let them, we are guilty too. We must physically interrupt mass deportation or we are not serious about how awful we think it is.

This election was never about the price of eggs or gas Whip Clark (D-MA). It’s always been about culture wars that protect white fragility. They hate everyone, that aren’t like them and they won the message. Until we adopt negative partisanship into our messaging, we won’t win again. #DemVoice1
