President Trump raged after Democrats won multiple elections this week. Why is he so afraid of American voters? He’s afraid of losing his majority in the midterm elections, via nytopinion (IG)

In the last 90 years, when Democrats have swept the NYC mayor and the New Jersey & Virginia governors races, they won the U.S. House 5/5 times! ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏻 Let's continue this historical streak by never, ever letting up.

Republicans are ON THE RUN: While House and Senate Democrats are in Washington working on behalf of the American people to find a bipartisan path forward, House Republicans are not in D.C. but on vacation and refusing to work!

Immigrants contribute over $525B in taxes annually, including $12B to Social Security from undocumented workers who often get no benefits in return. They pay income, payroll & local taxes, & fund vital programs for us all. Protect our neighbors. #MeltICE Speak up.

Watch how ICE is keeping America safe by apprehending dangerous criminals. 🙄 Two ICE agents detained a pre-K teacher inside a Chicago day care.

🌊 🌊 🌊 The tides are turning in MISSISSIPPI! Last night, Democrats flipped TWO seats and shattered the GOP supermajority: proof that no place is beyond change when people rise up and vote for progress. 💙 #BlueWave

Chris Hayes nailed it: Every single county in Virginia swung toward Democrats—yes, even the rural ones. This wasn’t a normal election. It was a RECKONING. Voters chose sanity over chaos, progress over decline. 🌊 🌊 🌊 #BlueWave

Looks like white U.S. citizens are the biggest group of SNAP recipients. People criticize SNAP without bothering to find out who uses it. “They should get a job.” It must be nice to have never been laid off, become ill, or get paid such low wages that you need help.

The PA Supreme Court has stood strong for our rights—protecting access to birth control, contraception, and prenatal care. Let’s keep it that way. Vote YES to RETAIN Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht. 🗳️ Freedom’s on the ballot.

We need more accountability like this. Hold this administration to their broken promises on immigration and more.

England stripped Prince Andrew of titles and public duties. America? Still protecting power. Justice shouldn’t stop at wealth’s edge — every name linked to Epstein deserves the same accountability, no matter the crown or the cash. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The Trump administration is refusing to fund SNAP benefits—leaving families scrambling to figure out how to put food on the table.

Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday that Democrats would vote for Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) bill to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) amid the government shutdown. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/schumer-says-democrats-vote-hawley-205118877.html
