Tried calling @RepDavid on his line. Mailbox was full.
Will you vote against Trump's bill?
Will you vote to ensure that millions don't lose medical care?
Or will you vote to continue to hurt your constituents?
By the way: this is what the Democratic Party as a whole should be doing. Traveling the country, speaking to rural voters and tbh, they should be ignoring blue states outright.
This sums up the my Republican colleagues….
Constituent: why did you sponsor a voter suppression bill?
Repub: I’ll have to read it… I don’t think it says that.
It's insane that anyone can view this as anything other than the persecution of an oppressed group of people. This is fascism to its core, but too many people have succumbed to the moral panic of transphobia to realize that they're supporting it.
Anyone from Illinois knows Gov. Pritzker is the real deal. This speech he gave at Northwestern’s graduation, where he reminded folks that the best way to spot an idiot is to spot the person who is the most cruel, is worth rewatching and sharing.
The reason ai video/audio is so horrifying, not just annoying from an arts perspective, is that I would not put it past this administration using these tools to try to fabricate "evidence" to justify their political persecutions once the tech gets convincing enough.
You’re about to hear all kinds of things about a bill called the SAVE Act.
Congressional Republicans are using it as a cover to take away voting rights from thousands of Americans—all while claiming it’s about stopping non-citizens from voting.

The town hall crowd peppers Rep. Rich McCormick with boos and catcalls as he struggles to answer a pointed question from a resident who says she’s a descendant of Patrick Henry who pressed him on whether Trump was moving toward “tyranny.” #gapol
Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.
Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.
The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Wow.
A Republican Congressman’s town hall is being flooded with constituents who are outraged at Trump and Musk coming for their health care and earned benefits.

To call one of our allies ‘a dictator’ while they’re defending their country against an actual dictator is ridiculous. I’ve met with President Zelenskyy multiple times and understand how hard the people of Ukraine are fighting to defend their homeland. I’ll continue to stand with them against Putin even if Trump won’t.
Today Elon called the commander of the ISS a retard, threatened to turn off Community Notes because it corrected him, and then shadowbanned the mother of his children because she had to post in public to get his attention about their kid's serious medical emergency.
so uh,
