🚨 Wichita nurses will strike Monday, July 6.

RNs at @Ascensionorg have faced escalating workplace violence — even a grenade found on Easter.

It's past time Ascension takes patient safety and staff protection seriously. https://t.co/uzg50pcQdT

[Kai Newkirk for Congress @kai_newkirk]

The state of Israel is interfering in our elections.

I’m fighting back.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

When @RepLaMonica stepped up to defend her constituents and neighbors being ripped away from their families, this authoritarian administration arrested her and filed sham charges against her. Her fight is our fight. I stand with LaMonica.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Congratulations to my friend @bradlander on tonight's big primary win!

Brad will be a fantastic representative who fights for working families, holds the powerful accountable, and puts people over profits.

Double woohoo!

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Congratulations to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on her re-election. 

After a stunning upset in 2018, @AOC joined Sunrise activists in a sit-in demanding a Green New Deal, helping spark a movement that changed what's possible in American politics.

We're proud to be in this fight.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Congress needs more Claires: a renter, union organizer, and 36-year-old progressive who will defend working Americans, not corporations, real estate developers, or the special interests making our lives hell. Leaders We Deserve is beyond proud of our support for @claireforny!!!

[Chris Rabb @chrisrabb]

Congrats to @DarializaforNY on tonight's #NY13 win!

Darializa knows we need to invest in babies not bombs, immigrants over ICE & renters not real estate developers.

Together in Congress, we're gonna take on the DC establishment & deliver for working families across the country!

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

True in some swing states/districts, but not others.

More progressive candidates won their primaries in:

— ME-Sen (Graham Platner)
— CA-22 (Randy Villegas)
— ME-02 (Matt Dunlap)
— MT-01 (Sam Forstag)

The Democratic primary for Michigan Senate will be the ultimate test of this.

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

Thank you, @ZohranKMamdani and @BernieSanders for putting principles over polls.

The arc doesn’t bend on its own. It bends when someone is willing to put skin in the game and take the risk when it actually matters.

You took that risk on Darializa, Brad and Claire.

Tonight, it paid off. Not just for them, but for everyone watching who needed proof that change is still possible.

[NYC-DSA 🌹 @nycDSA]

SOCIALISM WINS UPTOWN! Darializa Avila Chevalier will be the first Afro-Latina to represent NY-13. We can’t wait to see how @DarializaforNY fights to abolish ICE, end the genocide in Gaza, and fight for working class people every day.

[Beverly Nelmes @banelmes2001]

Darializa won!

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

This will be the kind of upset that redraws the map for an entire generation of challengers.

A political newcomer with no machine, no establishment money, and a fraction of the resources just unseated a five-term incumbent who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

People are tired. Tired of money deciding elections before they vote. Tired of harassment standing in for an answer. Tired of the same old, do-nothing politics. They see right through all of it, and they know who’s actually serving them.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, congresswoman-elect. 🗳️✨

Claire Valdez just won by doing it the hard way: out-organizing the money, not out-spending it.

She never wavered on Gaza when staying quiet would have been easier. Her moral clarity wasn’t a liability. It’s exactly why people showed up for her.

Principled campaigns can win. Congratulations, Claire. 🗽

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I had one rule this week: no one plays on Home Court until some old friends and I get some shots up.

Who’s got next? 🏀
