Yup. This is how Dems need to talk about ALL issues. Clear. Plain. English. Even when the English has four letters.

Lots of folks don't understand what's at stake with the Judicial Retention questions on page 2 of their ballots. It's not enough to just leave them blank, they MUST vote YES.

Beyond the fact that legal immigrants and tourists can attend the Super Bowl, I find it absolutely hilarious that they're gonna have ICE harassing a bunch of rich people. Tickets are almost $10k. Please own the libs harder.

Sucks being denied access to bathrooms doesn’t it.

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

12 hours until the government shuts down. Democrats are at work, ready to protect your family’s health care costs from skyrocketing. Meanwhile, House Republicans are on vacation and the president is posting disgusting AI videos. Our country deserves better than GOP dysfunction.

@deluzio.house.gov We hope you'll support this. It is anti-American to create this Gulag where people simply disappear.

Have Apple TV+? You might want to ask them why they feel the need to pull a show about infiltrating a white supremacist cell/

This is amazing to hear. Here's hoping he is a positive role model for others.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

Good to see that Chuck finally has zerofuckstogive. No more hand-wringing and trying to reach across the aisle. Give 'em hell!

Kasparov said this just after last year's election. It rings truer and truer every week. And yes, we hold our values and our honor very dear.

Lawyer up! We love to hear it!

Want to support school board candidates across the county but don't have a lot of time or money? How about baking some cookies? On October 11, the Allegheny County Democratic Committee will have a bake sale at the annual Kennedy Lawrence Dinner! And you can help! grow.withlome.com/a/4801e5c7-d...

I think we all know how this really started

this is incredibly true and tracks with a basic dynamic we've seen all along: the people who were cowed into submission by Trump's win were elites. regular people have never given an inch

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

A 2024 report from a research arm of DOJ noted: “[s]ince 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” DOJ removed the report from its website after the shooting.

DUCK AROUND, FIND OUT! With our duck delivery in tow, we waddled up to the Hill to let our representatives know that it's time to send the Quack-In-Chief packing. #ImpeachRFK

A man in Washington, DC, plays the Imperial March from Star Wars while following patrolling soldiers. One of the soldiers threatens to call the police.

“There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins ‘Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.’”

Thank you to Pittsburgh Women for Democracy for putting into words what we feel as well.

Trump promised to lower the cost of living, but things have gotten even harder! Coffee is up 33%. Vegetables are up 40%. Washing machines cost 12% more. @momsrising.org is gathering #Trumpflation stories about high prices - do you have one to share? trumpflation.momsrising.org #MomSky

The parking was terrible as always, but the weather mostly held and the company was outstanding at yesterday's Sewickley Harvest Festival! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and thank you to everyone who staffed the booth!

Draft-dodging coward posts A.I. image of himself in Vietnam.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

The weather is cooperating and the company is great! Come join us in Sewickley for the annual Harvest Festival!
