I wholeheartedly believe we’re doing some of the most critical & transformative work in #Philadelphia. If you don’t believe me, take a minute and watch this coverage of today’s Catto Graduation & Pinning Ceremony

Jan 6 terrorist Jake Lang tried to crash our canvass launch. Here’s how real Americans responded:

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The government is giving guns and badges to violent, psychotic individuals and setting them loose on our streets

[Action News on 6abc @6abc]

No one supports your community like 6abc. But the FCC questions that commitment. More info: https://t.co/43spSJDqlP

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee and Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and Florida? Is every Democrat asleep at the wheel? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back? If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.

Every school needs a ballroom.

This one is so much more accurate than the original.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

$38,300,000,000 of your tax dollars.

Not for healthcare. Not for education. Not for small businesses.

But for mass-detention camps.

It’s flat out UNAMERICAN.

Nobody can sit on the sidelines — it will take all of us fighting back together to stop this.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Jon Stewart should run for president. Seriously.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

No money for school lunches but definitely money for his ridiculous vanity projects.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

[ABC News @ABC]

The amount of money Americans are paying for their energy bills has increased 13% since President Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report. https://t.co/X2wKX8Q6YZ

If this can happen to this U.S. citizen, it can happen to any of us. We cannot let such lawlessness persist.👇🏼

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Mamdani was what so many politicians, law firms, universities, media companies, and others have not been: totally, completely, authentically unafraid. That's the only way to defeat authoritarianism.

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

What's weird about this is, a year ago all the media talked about was how awful inflation was. Here we are, a year later, and it is worse. Yet I'd bet it gets only a tiny fraction of the press attention it got last year.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

CNN breaking it down: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, your health care premiums will skyrocket. One example—$7,225 a year now (8.5% of income) would jump to $25,000 (nearly 30%). That’s the reality for millions, especially in CA, TX, FL, GA, and NC.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

@GregAbbott_TX Houston has 10X the murders of SF.

Dallas’ murder rate is nearly DOUBLE LA’s.

Texas’ homicide rate overall is 39% HIGHER than California’s.

Would focus on your lawless state, Greg, before sending troops to ours.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @AdelitaForAZ.
