Observing the bumper sticker evolution from faded “terrific kid” to brand new “student driver” is one that really makes me feel connected to other drivers on the road in a way that I feel like needs to be talked about more.

Day 5 of a child SA trial got me like...

If a judge found out that I threatened to send someone to Eswatini if they didn’t plead guilty, two things would happen: 1. I’d be asked if I made that country up. 2. I would be disbarred for prosecutorial misconduct. This justice department is a disgrace to the profession.

I know this is like so not the point of RFKs testimony or existence, but his ties are entirely too thin. It’s sartorial malpractice and I don’t know why he continues to get away with it.

It’s rare that I get to read a 150-year-old law originally enacted to limit federal interference in the post-Reconstruction South—and even rarer when the brother of the late Justice Breyer uses that law to curb a so-called limited government Republican’s executive overreach. But today is that day.

As members of Congress return from their month at home, I was reminded of my favorite Nancy Mace quote (there aren't many). It’s something she and I agree on deeply, and I’m sure she will remember her convictions as Trump is likely to sign the 200th executive order of his second term this week.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while: There is so much discourse on what the Democratic Party needs to do, what we want from our elected officials, that we shouldn’t have purity tests, etc. But what I want to know is this: why are you a Democrat? Please repost so there are more responses!

And energy independence is the key to America’s global future. We could be energy independent today had Ronald Reagan not killed off solar panel manufacturing in the 80’s. It’s not too late to correct that mistake, but we have to start now.

Democrats will say its guns, Republicans will say its mental health. But Dems have worked to fund mental healthcare while Republicans have crusaded to end it. We've tried to come for the guns, but Republicans have sat on their hands. We're the only ones acting to end a solvable issue.

That’s over 1/3 of recipients for those keeping track at home. The attack on public education embarrassingly sloppy and is being carried out by people trying to bring “competency” back to education.

If the midterms were held today, a new poll from The Economist has independents voting for the democratic candidate by TEN points. If this redistricting war continues, the GOP is going to have to eat their own shoes. The wave is blue, and it is coming.

My statement ending my campaign for Congress. It has been an honor to even be considered as a candidate, and I hope that you will read my final statement. I'm not gone forever, I'll run for something again. But the reality is that this race deserves a candidate that can do what it takes to win.

🚨BREAKING: This Tuesday! Join us for a reception in support of our Exploratory Committee. To get the word out to the masses we need YOUR help. If you can't make it, please donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/jerma...

Let’s not forget the 600 million to develop a bird flu vaccine that he canceled already.

Control of Congress is in the balance, and MAGA knows that, and they know they’re losing popularity. Their solution? Cheat.

I was asked this on a fundraising call today. Make no mistake, I support a nationwide ban on racial and political gerrymandering. But if the GOP is going to start redrawing lines mid census cycle so they don’t lose in the midterms, Democrats cannot afford to “go high.”

Pathetic. Greg Abbott and the GOP in the TX legislature are dismantling democracy before our eyes under the guise of passing flood relief funding. Never forget that democrats tried to pass flood relief, but the GOP insisted that they vote on the gerrymandered map if they wanted it.

When Sunday scaries meet Monday blues, you get Nancy Mace running for governor of your state.

Stop the count! Stop testing for COVID! Fire the non-believers! It would be so boring if it wasn’t so awful.

This is my new opponent, and it looks like he’s running to be the most conservative Congressman. In his kickoff, he said that he agrees with every single Trump policy, does not believe in climate change, and he has consistently been the worst enemy of public education in SC. SC cannot afford him.

Netanyahu nominated Trump for a Nobel peace prize last month. This month, Pete Navarro says that Trump deserves a Nobel prize in economics for his tariff practices. These are the most messed up and confusing participation trophies I’ve ever heard of.

Of the 60,000 people killed in Gaza, half of them are women and children. 20,000 Gazan children have been treated for acute malnutrition since APRIL as Israel uses starvation as a weapon of war. Both are war crimes and genocide. It’s not complicated. Even MTG gets it.

I thought DOGE was supposed to have gotten rid of all the waste, fraud, and abuse, but instead it looks like they’ve invented NEW ways for federal employees to abuse their co-workers.

I only looked up because I thought the clap was coming.

A 1-year-old baby girl named A’Zouri was shot and critically wounded in Southeast D.C. in a drive-by shooting. She is on a breathing tube and needs multiple surgeries. Guns are the leading killer of children and teens in this country. We are failing them by allowing this scourge to continue.

This race just got blown wide open. I was ready to win already, but now we have an even better chance of flipping SC5 back to blue. If you’ve been holding back, now is the time for real action. Get involved, make a donation, and most of all dream of a better future and know that it is possible.

Since #MeToo and Epstein, more survivors are speaking, more abusers are being punished, and people are leading with belief now more than ever. But the fight isn’t finished. In Congress, I’ll fight tirelessly until every child has access to equal justice.

This contrast is amazing. Today, the UN court at The Hague declared that a healthy environment is a human right and that climate inaction may violate international law. The EPA, on the other hand, declared today that it’s considering revoking its finding that greenhouse gases harm human health.

This guy openly admits to being a Nazi and a fascist, says he’s proud of it and unashamed, then complains when he gets fired from his job. The worst part? He started a GoFundMe after he lost his job that has already crowd funded tens of thousands of dollars.

….oh.

Because Republicans' cuts to SNAP, 1.4M children will lose their free lunches this year. And they tried to take it away from 18 million more with changes to the universal free lunches program. Meanwhile? $182B more for defense. Always enough for bombs, never enough for hungry kids.

Meanwhile, we have had 205 mass shootings in this country this year. So far.

“May every day be another wonderful secret” might be a really sweet birthday message if it wasn’t written by Donald J. Trump to Jeffrey. Fucking. Epstein.

55 years ago and 240 thousand miles from home, three of our bravest souls soared beyond earth’s cradle and into the unknown. Apollo 11 wasn’t just a mission, it was a reminder that humanity is meant to explore. We are meant to rise. We are meant to continue reaching for the impossible.

I’m confused. Is there nothing incriminating in the files? Are there no files? Are files real but Obama and Hillary wrote the files? Are no files and it was just a Democratic hoax? Did Republicans vote to not release non-incriminating, Obama-written files that don’t exist. Help.

With the CFPB effectively out of commission, consumers need all the protections they can get. While I generally think that perfect shouldn’t get in the way of progress, this crypto legislation does not do enough to protect consumers. Democrats should insist on more before a single “yes” vote.

Ralph needs a Jet2 holiday from budget hearings.

One attorney for the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights said the job became “impossible" as their caseload went from 60 to 380. “The people who remain are doing all they can. We’re doing all we can. But it isn’t enough, and it keeps us up at night,” they said. (Published May)

Teachers tell me all the time that AI is completely changing how kids learn, or—perhaps more often—avoid learning. Legislators have got to put serious thought into how we use this tool for good in the classroom, because we can’t put it back in the box.

Trump and Republicans believe your credit should be ruined forever if you dare to get sick and can’t pay. Democrats have to actually fight for universal healthcare when we get power back. It’s the only humane thing to do. Progress demands action, not words.

*a tax hike artificially created by Republicans in 2017.

AGAIN. A 3-year-old child in Brevard County, FL was unintentionally shot and wounded after a gun was left unsecured in a relative’s home. Just last week, another 3-year-old shot and killed himself at a home in Atlanta, GA after gaining access to an unsecured gun.

Not only that, but Republicans once took this so seriously that it was Richard Nixon (famous for not being liberal, amongst other things) who established the EPA.

Nothing makes me think “peace” more than bunker busters in Iran and a worsening situation in Gaza. The biggliest of peaceful strides.

No client list and he committed suicide! We know this because *checks notes* Pam Bondi says so. Definitely don’t worry about the files that won’t be disclosed after she promised to disclose them!

Fact check: Ralph Norman voted “yes” (twice) on a budget bill that is estimated to add 2.5-3 trillion dollars to the national debt. I don’t feel that the second part is worth addressing. Thanks to @tangentsafari.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention!

I have seen HEINOUS comments like this in far too many places. Parents are suffering the loss of their children. Children suffered and died alone, confused, and terrified—my heart aches at the mere thought of their fear. These commenters are not liberals, they are sociopathic.

I feel like I heard something about grocery prices last election. Maybe it was just the wind.

El Salvador, South Sudan, Alligator Alcatraz. Is the US Government trying to speed run human rights abuses?

Every federally elected official in SC other than Clyburn voted to take healthcare away from 286k South Carolinians. Ralph Norman only hesitated because it didn’t do more to disenfranchise people.
