Comms/political for @ElectProgress, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC. Opinions are my own. A better world is possible.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

.@AOC is right: We must expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing and lower the eligibility age to 55 as part of the movement toward Medicare for All.

Let’s get it done.

[Progressive Caucus PAC @electprogress]

A lifelong Detroiter dedicated to uplifting underinvested communities & helping families make ends meet, @DonavanMI13 will be a leader in getting money out of politics and ensuring workers earn a living wage, kids grow up with clean air & water and that we pass Medicare for All.

[Team AOC @TeamAOC]

.@AOC: “Angie will be an exemplary fighter for the working families of Florida. She did not get here by yielding to major political machines, she did it by building community power and fiercely committing to her values. That’s why I’m proud to endorse her for the U.S. Senate.”

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

They pretend they want to make llfe easier for their residents, yet they spend time attacking colleagues instead of Trump who ripped health care away from our families.

Why? Because they are also war mongers & will fund genocide before taking on their corporate donors who are the ones really hurting our families.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

People see how these members who take donations from corporations will throw down against those of us who want to fund free health care and not endless wars and genocide.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

Islamophobia spewed carelessly by elected officials and the media makes us all less safe.

Dehumanizing, racist rhetoric has taken the lives of our neighbors, like Wadee Alfayoumi, and puts our constituents at risk.

Let's do better and stand against all forms of hate.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

To all who have attacked Hasan Piker, I’m going to check to see if you said anything about Laura Loomer calling a Black woman running for Senate in Florida, Representative Angie Nixon, a ghetto b**** and said that she should tug on her leash.

I STAND WITH @AngieNixon

This, too, is “I Have a Dream.”

Sharing this seldom-quoted excerpt with you on the eve of the 63rd anniversary of the speech and of the March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

@ggreenwald Glenn Greenwald can’t understand why FOX News would lie about someone being a socialist.

[IMEU Policy Project @imeupolicy]

NEW POLLING: Democrats in the first six states to vote in the 2028 presidential primary overwhelmingly demand sanctions and a total weapons embargo against Israel.

✅ 80% of Michigan likely Democratic primary voters say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, as do 78% in New Hampshire and Nevada
✅ 70% of New Hampshire and New Mexico likely Democratic primary voters say the US should sanction Israel, as do 68% in Nevada and Michigan
✅ 75% of New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Michigan likely Democratic voters say they prefer a candidate who will cut off weapons to Israel, as do 74% in Nevada, 66% in Virginia, and 65% in South Carolina.

Five months ago, AOC and I called for a moratorium on new AI data centers.

We were called “radical,” “crazy” and “extremists.”

Today, 75% of Americans agree and hundreds of candidates are responding.

The message is clear: We need a moratorium.

I believe this is the 10th race this year where AIPAC has spent $2 million+ and in those races they’ve gone 3-6 so far (L in IL9, IL7, NJ11, PA3, MI13, MI-Senate, W in IL2, IL4, MO1)

[Yasmine Taeb @YasmineTaeb]

Congrats to @aishabbwahab on making history by becoming the first Afghan American elected to Congress! My condolences to AIPAC. 😂

[The Story Is @CNNTheStoryIs]

“I don’t support weapons going out of this country,” @aishabbwahab said to @Elex_Michaelson

“We should care about the foster youth here in this country and in this county, as well as the kids being detained under United States ICE detention centers…” she said.

[Yassamin Ansari @yassaminansari]

Incredibly exciting! The first Afghan American Member of Congress! This is truly historic and inspiring. Congratulations @aishabbwahab!!

What do Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon have in common?

They all ran strong progressive grassroots campaigns.  They were all heavily outspent. THEY ALL WON.

The establishment has the money. We have the people.

When we stand together, we win.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Democratic Socialist State Representative Angie Nixon, outspent more than 16 to 1, pulled off a HUGE upset to win the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Florida.

Congratulations Angie!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It’s not complicated.

Despite being heavily outspent, many progressives across the country are winning elections for one simple reason: The ideas they are running on are extremely popular.
