The @swingleft community, our key partners on the ground, and voters in OH and VA showed up *BIG* to defeat the GOP in 2023. If Republicans keep running on extremism, we'll keep working to make sure pro-reproductive freedom Democrats keep winning.
About last night: Abortion Cost Republicans Big at the Ballot Box — Again This isn’t new. Dems have won big on the issue since Dobbs. But it proved, once again, voters are firmly against Republicans on abortion. Our story: themessenger.com/politics/el…

Hear Senator Peters, @SharlynDGrace @SafeandJustUSA & @SOULInChicago speak at a powerful webinar Tuesday, 6pm Central on how Illinois #EndMoneyBail! netroots.me/EndCashBail
After years of hard work, we have finally become the very first state in the nation to #EndMoneyBail. Earlier today, I attended a press conference to celebrate this historic day for all Illinoisans. No other state in the nation has implemented such comprehensive pretrial reform.

1/5 I need to correct some of the things said or that weren’t said, in this article. Black men were a crucial part of Biden’s victory in 2020, and that’s not to take away from Black women, washingtonpost.com/politics/…

1 in 4 Kansas Citians is Black. Systemic racism does not require intentional racist acts. It’s stuff like this. White people must look beyond the networks of people they already know, because the people white people know are usually white people with white people networks.

On day one as Auditor General I’ll rebuild the bureau of school audits destroyed by the current occupant and provide the oversight that tax payers, students, and families deserve. Learn more about my plans here: malcolmkenyatta.com/new-page – at Philadelphia, PA

Every year we see people asking why isn't there a left-wing version of CPAC. Well, there is, sort of... Netroots Nation is in its 18th year. A progressive conference w/ 3-4K attendees. But, being a political gathering may be the end of the similarities #CPAC #NN23 (1/3)

This is a long video, but if you’re able to spare even just a few minutes, it’s worth hearing about what it was like for Warren growing up in Missouri.
Seeing corrupt and control-obsessed politicians attack trans kids in Jefferson City this week reminded me of how proud I am to have a brother like Warren.
