I have a smart governor.

This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.

Remember everyone, STATES run our elections. Generations of Americans before us didn’t die for our rights just for us to cower before a big-bellied small-brained orange idiot. (Besides, GOP votes by mail too. Good luck taking away the convenience from them, Trump)

Folks, no one can stop you from voting BUT YOU. Don’t let them get in your heads.

This part. There's actually people calling them cowards for going back....so ridiculous.

TX Dems these past couple of weeks stopped a GOP attempt to rig the state's congressional races, fleeing to IL to deny the votes needed for it. IL Gov Pritzker protected them from arrest. This spurred CA and NY Dems to start redrawing their maps. Good. Dems, keep fighting.

Whatever Democrats think of Newsom, this is a big reason his current media strategy is winning him lots of attention.

In November, Dems need to support the three Pennsylvania State Supreme Court justices for “retention”, otherwise Trump and the GOP will be happy to replace all of them. ✅Christine Donohue ✅Kevin M Dougherty ✅David N Wecht The three justices’ ActBlue links are in the comments below.

BREAKING: LOS ANGELES (AP) - California Gov. Newsom calls for Nov. 4 special election on redistricting plan aimed at adding Democratic US House seats.

Looks like Cali will go forward with redrawing more Republicans out of Congress. Dems in NM and IL did this in 2022, but it’s good to see Cali putting this plan to a vote this November. Vote YES on this plan, Californians!

Trump voter targeted by ICE: I truly believe I was a target because of my race. I was racially profiled. Trump lied to many of us. We were all manipulated

Not a bad list to use during the Trump years. I’ll add another one: Mental breaks are ESSENTIAL during stressful times.

TX judge temporarily blocks former congressman Beto O’Rourke from fundraising for TX Dems trying to block TX GOP gerrymander so he’s fighting back by suing TX’s GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton.

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just cut $500 million in federal funding for life-saving vaccines. This will affect 22 research projects combating viruses like bird flu and COVID.

whichever Democratic politician you’re currently describing as a vile bigot would not have done anything like this

Seems useful for anyone who wants to try to get answers from their member of Congress. Make sure you record on your phone and share with people who can spread the word!

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

You all see how these news companies and TV channels are bowing to Trump? What can be done? Well, here’s a message more Democrats need to get into their heads. Spread the word 👇

We need serious local news outlets, doing original reporting, subsidized by and aligned with the Democratic Party. Hyperlocal with lots of youth sports and WeRateDogs-type content.

No one can stop black folks from voting except ourselves. They didn’t stop us in 1964 when LBJ got 94 percent support. They can’t stop us now. Trump isn’t no worse than the old southern Democratic Party.

This means the Steels know former Rep Michelle Steel can't win back #CA45 in 2026 and most likely that her husband has concoted some other way for them to keep a grip on power & continue to grift Let's keep supporting @congresstran.bsky.social www.ocregister.com/2025/08/01/f...

WIN: A federal court dismissed an anti-voting lawsuit alleging Florida violated federal law by failing to remove ineligible voters from the rolls. The GOP plaintiffs sought to halt the 2024 general election certification until the state proved its lawful conduction.

Does he have a point? (I think so)

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Minute 31: If you haven’t been the subject of the news it’s hard to describe how disorienting it can be to read something and be like, “Is the reporter a psychopath? Have they not met any human beings?” Only to hear normal people *praise* those journalists. youtube.com/watch?v=XBbk...

If there's one thing Democrats & Republicans agree on, it's that headlights are too damn bright. Brightness doubled in the last decade, yet standards are from before I was born. My amendment passed to find solutions bc it's not a binary choice between the light of 1,000 suns & driving in the dark.

Colorado’s Attorney General boosting this bill to unmask Trump’s ICE agents

In Colorado, we promote trustworthy law enforcement through transparency and well-trained professionals subject to appropriate oversight. With respect to masked ICE agents, Congress must act now to protect that trust and public safety, as our coalition explains. kdvr.com/news/politic...

In Pinellas County, 74k Floridians will lose health insurance and 14k will lose food aid because of Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s cruel vote. Voters from St. Pete to Tarpon Springs will remember how she sold them out.

Tackle immigration and take this issue off the table. Will congressional Republicans in the majority go for it?

Absolutely

Good sign?

@vademocrats.bsky.social beat early primary voting record #VALeg www.wvtf.org/news/2025-06...

Wow! Good for @abigailspanberger.com

So, let me get this right… The Freedom Caucus just took down the Rule Vote on the House Floor because they want more children to die with cuts to international aid? Asking for a friend.

Good stuff from Senator Slotkin

The Trump Administration purposefully made all these devastating health care cuts AFTER the midterms. They know what these cuts will do to people, and they don't want to pay the price for it.

Inflation's up under Trump & Vance. Trump's voters bear the responsibility for having produced this inflation. Also good to know that at least as of now Trump & Vance aren't able to mess with the data to hide this truth. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/b...

After I demanded an investigation into what role the Trump staff cuts played in the response to the horrible tragedy in Texas, Trump threw a fit. Now we know why: Trump and Noem fired key personnel at FEMA, weakening America's disaster response ecosystem.

Democrat Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and one-time chief of staff to Doug Emhoff, announces campaign to flip longtime GOP-held House seat in Colorado Springs. The 5th District has been in GOP hands since it was created in the 70s, but recent shifts give Killin an opening vs. Rep. Jeff Crank.

Hopefully Dems can recruit more moderates to run against Republicans in races like this one.

We took a detailed look at the emerging race for Colorado's 5th District last month when Jessica Killin's name first surfaced.
