👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Roswell, GA!

I am bummed for @aftynbehn.bsky.social and yet this is a very big shift in a district Trump won a year ago by 22 points.

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. 👇👇👇👇

I wrote this five days after Trump was inaugurated, the day after Pete Hegseth was confirmed by 50 Republican stooges. The prompt was aptly titled: "Will American Soldiers Refuse to Obey Illegal Orders?" www.americaamerica.news/p/will-ameri...

Trump: "Pete didn't know about the second attack having to do with two people. I guess Pete would have to speak to it. I can say this. I want those boats taken out. And if we have to, we'll attack on land also."

Part of a pattern with Hegseth. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A vote (or a canvass or a phonebank!) for Aftyn is a vote for affordability & a vote against Trump’s secret police who are throwing our neighbors in concentration camps. I hope you’ll stand with us for working families against fascism. Here’s a great way to get started with Swing Left’s phonebank:

Let’s end 2025 with a bang & start dismantling the GOP majority. Worst case: she still comes close and puts every R<10 District in play. But best case - we get a real fighter & we blow the midterms wide open. If you’re in TN-7, vote for Aftyn! If not, join a GOTV text/phonebank like I just did.

Voting is the Right of every eligible U.S. Citizen. Sadly, Republicans want to make it difficult & even prevent people from voting. Don’t stand for it. Know your rights & what your state’s laws are for Mail-in & Early Voting. Check your Voter Registration regularly. Be an informed Voter. 🇺🇸

Right-wingers are nuts.

If you live in VA’s 1st Congressional District with GOP Rep Rob Wittman, please take a minute to answer his One Question Survey. I chose “Other” and told him to Support Extending ACA Subsidies and healthcare for Virginians and those across the country. Go to: wittman.house.gov/forms/form/?...

Get out and vote TODAY for Aftyn Behn TN-07!!! 🇺🇸💙

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Well, here are trump’s latest Gallup Poll numbers. The worst ever— until the next one that is. 😂😂😂

This is a travesty of justice but totally expected from yet another Republican protecting trump. substack.com/@jimspencer9...

“Republican Party of Virginia Chair Mark Peake sent a letter to Republican State Central Committee members on Monday, notifying them that he will step down from his position at the end of the year.” He sees the 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 coming!

Vote blue with all YOUR 💙

Wouldn’t it be great if more companies said the same?

Sen. Mark Warner Says the Fact That Pete Hegseth’s “still there is an embarassment”; Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA07) Says Hegseth Exemplifies Trump Administration’s “two overwhelming characteristics…malice and incompetence” bluevirginia.us/2025/12/sen-...

RFK Jr is turning our country's public health agency into a tool to push his own propaganda. It’s dangerous and could hurt a lot of kids and people across America.

We must never turn our back again. The Trump Admin must reverse its billions in cuts to programs that help prevent HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and around the world.

This #WorldAIDSDay, we reflect on the progress to prevent and cure HIV/AIDS—including ending the stigma that forced too many into the shadows.

The moment Trump pardoned the former President of Honduras — convicted of taking bribes from El Chapo — is the moment he lost credibility in his strikes against drug boats in the Caribbean.

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me. In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Red State Governors are delaying Special Elections & Runoff Elections to slow the Democratic wins.

Where’s @jaketapper.bsky.social now????

💩😂🤣

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

And this kind of healthcare crisis will hit every state, especially hard in Red States.

Remember, when trump mocked a disabled reporter on national TV during a rally 🖕🤬🖕

Trump already pardoned Gentile.

On Tuesday, December 2nd, voters in Tennessee’s special election in #TN07 have a chance to send a message that will be heard across the country. No apathy. No excuses. Vote for Democrat @aftynbehn.bsky.social — our future is on the line! Let’s do this!!! 👊

Here's "Fair and Balanced" newsman Bret Baier once again getting in a round of golf with the president at his personal golf resort.

For at least the next dozen years, rural areas will continue to have only about two-thirds of the primary care physicians they need ncnewsline.com/2025/11/29/r... via @stateline.org

1/ You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what 6 Democratic members of Congress said on video. Trump called it seditious. The FBI launched an investigation. Then came reporting in WAPO about an order SecDef Hegseth gave ahead of the 9/2 attack on a boat allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.

3/That’s what the special operations commander overseeing the attack did. After the initial hit, live drone feed showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage. The commander “ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions … The two men were blown apart in the water.”

4/Hegseth tweeted but didn’t deny that 2 defenseless people were killed. There’s no evidence of their guilt. Clinging to the wreckage of a boat in the ocean, they weren’t an immediate threat to the US. The lawful choice was rescue & prosecution. Instead, per Hegseth’s order, they were executed.

"Let this be a reminder to all of us: Watch what Trump does, not what he says..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump pardons another rich fraudster who took advantage of others.

A lawsuit previously alleged that David Gentile—just pardoned by Trump— was an associate of Russian organized crime figure and oligarch Michael Cherney. A business news outlet found that Cherney’s daughters benefited from some of Gentile’s earliest dealings.
