Why would anyone want to spend 1.6 billion dollars subsidizing Big Tech companies when that money could go to public education, health care or tax relief for our constituents? This issue is uniting Democrats, Republicans and Independents and I am proud to be your advocate!

Abigail said I was frustrated but the real problem was I couldn’t hear her over the data center noise.

🚨Jacksonville, FL @Fla_Pol political writer @AGGancarski has a nice write-up about the HD 12 contest today. In 2024, the young ‘first time’ (D) candidate faced a “titan” of the FL (R) house caucus, (who had 40x more cash), & still got ~ 43% of the vote.

Rita Hayworth was of Spanish descent. She was born Margarita Carmen Cansino in Brooklyn, New York. Her father, Eduardo Cansino, was a professional dancer who immigrated to the United States from Castilleja de la Cuesta, Spain. Her mother, Volga Hayworth, was an American.

Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth found an instant rhythm on YOU’LL NEVER GET RICH (1941). Astaire later named her among his favorite dance partners, praising how quickly she mastered his demanding choreography and matched his precision step for step.

Any win Democrats get while being in the minority should be celebrated like this. War Powers resolution passes the House 215-208. Only 4 Republicans broke rank and voted with Democrats to get it over the line. #FundHealthCareNotWar

Unions like @CWAUnion are the reason Americans have some of our most important worker protections, like overtime pay and the five-day workweek.

I was honored to join the members of CWA today to celebrate their advocacy and hard work on behalf of all workers.

🌿 At what point does a policy become too unpopular to keep defending? Polling shows support for marijuana prohibition continuing to decline as most Americans live with legal cannabis.

So why are so many politicians still fighting to preserve it? And more importantly, why are you still voting for them?
