These Democrats Are Moving the Democratic Party into the Future
A new generation of Democrats is reclaiming the narrative and showing the Democratic Party how to fight back.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “…I have to start tonight with a story that in any other administration, would be grounds for opening an impeachment inquiry, because today ProPublica reported that the White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to President Trump’s adult son @DonaldJTrumpJr…the deal in question involved a startup focused on rare earth magnet production called Vulcan Elements and last Summer, Don Jr’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in that company, and wouldn’t you know…three months later, the Pentagon announced that it was giving Vulcan Elements a $620 million loan.”🙄🤦♀️

OHIO:
With a strong top of the ticket led by Sherrod Brown & Amy Action, the Ohio Democrats are looking pretty well set to flip multiple seats in November. Notably, they're now favored to flip HD-31 & HD-35, two open Trump+1 districts in the Akron area.
With their gutting of the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS is ushering in a new confederacy.
First they strike down the voting rights amendment, then they strike down legally drawn democratic maps.
Power belongs in the hands of the voters — not unelected elites. From me and @aoc:
Gun violence is killing kids in this country.
The #MetGala is fashion’s biggest night, and the world is watching what people wear. This dress is a response to a world where safety is not guaranteed and protection should not be a luxury.
FASHION IS ADVOCACY.
"Acton raised twice as much money from Ohioans as Ramaswamy... Reports show 55,131 donations from Ohio to Acton’s campaign and 21,766 Ohio donations to Ramaswamy’s."
Says it all! Ohio is ready for a change.
Great to celebrate the expansion of the Women Helping Women hotline with these two and many others dedicated to keeping women and children safe in Hamilton County. @HamiltonCntyOH @Anna_Albi
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.
And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.
So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.
Thanks to the Carthage Civic League for welcoming @Anna_Albi and me at their Civic League meeting tonight. Always a great opportunity to hear from residents and share some things happening around the community.
