As an election pollworker in IL, not a huge fan of partisan pollwatchers, especially after some of the abusive behavior by GOP pollwatchers I've observed the last 2 elections. But - Dems need to have lots of well-trained pollwatchers at elections moving forward to protect voting rights for all.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B.

A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next. As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

If you're considering a run for president in 2028 your highest priority needs to be fighting to ensure that the midterm election is free and fair. There's no 2028 without a legitimate 2026 where the results are respected. Something I pray that everyone with presidental ambitions understands.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to

His is a world in which autocratic leaders make deals over the heads of the people, extrajudicial force is legitimized, conflicts simmer so long as they are kept off screens and corruption intermingles with diplomacy.

MAGA keeps saying Trump is βsaving taxpayers moneyβ and βpaying down the national debt.β If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires. For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year β and still have $7B left over. Priorities.

ABSOLUTELY NO on Trump getting paid back for his legal expenses. Just because the cases were dropped because he was reelected does not mean the cases were bogus - they were not!

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B. That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Priorities.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

Norway has stepped in β not with campaigns, but with craftsmanship. Engineers have created floating ice pods designed to replace the vanishing habitat. They're made from biodegradable, non-toxic materials. Insulated to stay cold under the Arctic sun. Grooved to keep seals from slipping.
