Rep. Nick LaLota claims he's held 20 town hall meetings since taking office. He includes appearances at various events, but no in-person town hall meetings open to the general public. https://t.co/V1P4ItcdbP
Just spoke to 1100 fired-up residents of NY1 and NY2 at the Patchogue Theatre on Long Island—oh, and to two empty chairs we held open for their GOP representatives.
Just remember what happened in Kansas, Michigan, and other states that had reproductive rights on the ballot. People -- especially young people -- turned out in record breaking numbers. That doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Amazing numbers out of Ohio today.
Holy cow: 700,000+ signatures were gathered in Ohio for a ballot measure that would guarantee abortion access in Ohio in this November's elections. That's 70% MORE than what they needed to make it on the ballot. People are fired up around a woman's right to choose & it's amazing.
Let’s be clear: Moms for Liberty are fascists. Donald Trump & Marjorie Taylor Green don’t deserve a national platform. @ReecieColbert joins me right now to talk about how our media fails us. https://t.co/2juXWGGc0t
This is AMAZING. Wisconsin Gov. Toni Evers just signed a new state budge that increases funding for public schools for the next FOUR CENTURIES! This is what it looks like to have a Governor who cares about young people. Democrats can & do get shit done & it's incredible.
"Their conduct and statements have grown more unrestrained. Alito’s WSJ op-ed was shocking unless you've caught his grievances at conferences against nonbelievers, same-sex marriage, the 21st century — sounding less a jurist than 'a talk-radio host.' " https://t.co/Hnze7XAKWb
The hypocrisy continues.
Hunter Biden is not an elected official. Most of us are glad he got help 5 years ago, which is when this supposedly happened.
Don Jr is coked up 100% of the time, and the right completely ignores it while attacking a recovering addict.
These clowns don’t care if their words cause a relapse of kill someone, as long as they score those political points.

Buttigieg on DeSantis video: I'm going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled up shirtless body builders..
This is a bonafide scandal. On the legal level, it means the Court decided a case that wasn't a real case or controversy as Art III requires. On the political level, it

I can't overstate how important it is that we get our shit together and get ready to push back on every front. Between #SCOTUS harming LGBTQ+, communities of color, and women, we have to balance the court, and that must be part of the 2024 election. 🧵
The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.
Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.
Justice Sotomayor, dissenting: "Although the consequences of today's decision might be most pressing for the LGBT community, the decision's logic cannot be limited to discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The decision threatens to balkanize the market and to allow the exclusion of other groups from many services.
