This starts GayforCongress 2.0! I am the Democratic nominee who ran against Matt Gaetz, and lost, on Nov. 5th, only for him to resign 9 days later so ethics investigation into sex crimes would go away or perhaps AG! My focus remains the same-The people of FL's 1st. Gayforcongress.com

I remember saying the same thing about graduate students who taught our 101 courses in college—-45 years ago youtube.com/watch?v=SQgf...

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Translation: they want to privatize everything to enrich themselves and their friends. As we see in Tennessee, this hurts the most vulnerable. And it will exacerbate Gilded Age levels of inequality even further.

youtube.com/shorts/78VtN... Soooo many folks are self-identifying as needing a primary challenge in 2026

The tribalism in politics has got to go. The idea that everything that a leader from “your party” is correct is destructive and not good for the American people. These are public servants who should be under the public eye and are not above criticism.

Because he could decide tomorrow that pizza shops are terrorist organizations and send drones there.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.” taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

@governorwalz.mn.gov rumor has it that you are eyeing @smith.senate.gov ‘s open 2026 seat. I love having you as governor BUT if you really want to do us a solid, please take back your seat in the House. We NEED strong leadership there. Same advise I had for Ilhan Omar #TheWellstoneWay

I got a fundraising letter from @ilhanomar.bsky.social I know it wasn’t from her but the campaign mechanism. Asked me if I support her in seeking @smith.senate.gov ‘s vacating seat. I voted “No” but aside from my gifting $5 more $ to her Congressional chest fund, it didn’t give a chance to respond 🧵

Well I guess this is one way to rebut the claim that government doesn’t do anything 😳

Woot! @peggyflanagan.bsky.social and @ilhanmn.bsky.social Our bench is deep with talent #TheWellstoneWay #MinnesotaProud! www.startribune.com/minnesota-lt...

I wanted you to hear directly from me that I have decided not to run for reelection to the Senate in 2026. I have loved my job, and after 20 years of hard and rewarding work in the public sector, I'm ready to spend more time with my family. I want to take some time here to explain my decision (🧵)

I’ll be rocking this well-worn shirt on Sundays from 3-5 at Oakdale Commons library. I’ll have plenty of postcards and tea to share. Let’s write some notes to our elected representatives #TheWellstoneWay #MinnesotaProud

@fefferfilms.bsky.social good to see you made it to #BlueSky 🦋
