Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.

[Kevin Liao @KevinLiao_]

A bunch of accounts (including ones saying they’re Republicans) posting the same pic of a ballot for Becerra. Very cool, very normal Election Day behavior.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

NEWS: In a major coup against the Republicans, the AFL-CIO just endorsed Sherrod Brown for Senator in Ohio. This is a huge endorsement.

[Laura Fuchs @DCWard7teacher]

As someone who sat in on all the meetings for @DCLabor as we were making the decision on who to endorse, it is unconscionable to use our logo. Trust and believe it was an easy decision for us to endorse @Janeese4DC and it wasn’t even close.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

hey @CoryBooker -i thought you didn’t endorse dems in other states, are you worried that @chrisrabb the anti genocide candidate in this philly primary has a shot of winning?

[Andrew Perez @andrewperezdc]

Retiring Blue Dog Rep. Jared Golden just cast the deciding vote to kill a war powers resolution he *cosponsored*

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Americans’ wages are no longer outpacing inflation.

Prices are now rising at an annual rate of 3.8%, the highest rate since May 2023.

That means inflation is now outpacing wage increases.

[@DCHomos @DCHomos]

Brooke Pinto’s new ad features anti-union Graham McLaughlin. McLaughlin was president of snack food brand Snacklins when he was listed as an “employee” of Compass Coffee and hired just to vote in their union election and vote AGAINST unionizing. McLaughlin Admitted to never working a shift at Compass. Union busters for Pinto? ❌❌❌

[Safe & Affordable DC @WashDC4all]

@kenyanmcduffie's record on utilities includes everything from borderline negligent oversight to backdoor dealings with utility companies, and thousands in donations from Pepco, its lobbyists, and its executives.

Don't rank Kenyan McDuffie.

[sierraclubdcpac @sierraclubdcpac]

Kenyan McDuffie took thousands from for-profit utility lobbyists & execs, met with utilities behind closed doors, & worked against affordable energy. He turned a blind eye while DC utility rates shot up--now, DC is paying more.

[ATU Local 689 @ATULocal689]

Major DC unions today released the following open letter to Kenyan McDuffie today calling on him to retract and apologize for his statement characterizing D.C. workers as “dark money from outside interest groups."

[Michael Brice-Saddler @TheArtist_MBS]

Scoop: @charlesallen is endorsing Janeese Lewis George for D.C. mayor, telling me the city's executive leadership has "lost the ambition."
The move solidifies @Janeese4DC’s support among Council progressives. My interview for @CityCast_DC: https://t.co/N2JXLIvmL8?

[Jacob Rubashkin @JacobRubashkin]

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

NBC News: Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) will hold a rally with Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner in Portland, ME on May 18

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

In ten minutes I'll be holding my 50th town hall.

My opponents (combined) have held zero.

TMZ asks followers to take photos of Congress members enjoying spring break following nationwide airport delays:

“While TSA workers are wondering how they will pay their bills, Congress members will be vacationing for spring break […] Send it to TMZ so we can properly put them on BLAST.”

DUNE PART THREE

[Alex Taliadoros @AlexCTaliadoros]

What a weird and incoherent attack.

DC already has a regulatory body to control utility costs — the Public Service Commission. No new laws are needed, just proper oversight.

Instead of doing his oversight job as Chair, McDuffie let them approve huge rate hikes on DC families.
