More women, particularly more women of color, should be in rooms where decisions are made—from city councils to the U.S. Congress. By helping women run, win, and govern, we’re paving the way for new perspectives and policies that make our government work better.
👋 I’m Julie Johnson — mother, wife, daughter & granddaughter of teachers, Democrat & proud lesbian. I served 3 terms in the #txlege & now I’m running for Congress! If elected, I’ll be the 1st openly-gay MOC south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Can you RT & follow to spread the word?
@cmclymer that’s a very condescending statement from @andersoncooper. I’m
not in a silo- and not half of America supports Trump- never has and never will.
.@andersoncooper Sir, it’s actually very simple: I want a political media that sheds light and holds nonsense accountable. CNN failed to do that last night. Not just a little bit, either. It completely failed, and you need to be honest about that.
In my April 1st newsletter, I shared that I will not pursue the Democratic Nomination for Senate District 14. While this was a difficult decision to make, please know that I am still considering my next steps.
Leslie Stahl’s interview isn’t a one-off atrocity. It’s just one symptom of the media turning a blind eye to fascism.
In just the last two weeks alone, the mainstream media have refused to recognize the threat posed by the Republican party and its de facto leader, Donald Trump.
First, they based an entire week of reporting and analysis on Donald’s social media post that falsely claimed he was going to be arrested on March 21.
Then, 60 Minutes made the confounding decision to give a platform to insurrectionist and fascist Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Republican Party has fallen in line behind Donald and, now that indictments against him have been announced, they will stop at nothing to undermine the American people’s faith in the rule of law. Donald’s attacks on social media against NY DA Alvin Bragg have already resulted in an avalanche of death threats.
But just as they did in 2016, the media keep giving Donald millions of dollars worth of air time.
It’s time for the media to take sides—democracy or fascism.
It shouldn’t be that fucking hard.
NE State Sen. Megan Hunt (D) calls out her GOP colleagues for their anti-trans legislation: "This bill harms me in an unforgivable way ... Don't say 'hi' to me in the hall ... Don't walk by my desk and ask me anything ... No one in a world holds a grudge like me."
Wouldn’t it be awesome if @POTUS would be giving his healthcare/ACA speech in Miami Dade, rather than Virginia Beach?! We have the highest enrollees than anywhere else in the country & FL Dems need this.
Minnesota Congresswoman @AngieCraigMN is a dedicated public servant. It is beyond the pale that @FoxNews and @NRCC would spread vicious lies targeting her just days after she was assaulted. #WeStandWithAngieCraig
After nine failed votes so far to elect a Speaker of the House, Va. @Rep_Jen_Kiggans releases statement, says: "I cannot express how difficult and disappointing it is to have been confronted with such paralyzing dysfunction in my first week." @13NewsNow
@SenStabenow you are a class act. As my first boss in politics (30 years ago) you taught me so much about being a woman in the political arena. Thank you! #women
Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025.
