She……..doubled down on it??????????
Oh boy, on the eve of Trump’s visit to Mississippi, Cindy Hyde-Smith *doubles down* on her other “proteins to choose from” comment.
“Thank goodness when mothers want to feed their families when you go out shopping, there are proteins, you want to feed meat, there are some cheaper prices. And that’s what that statement was about.”

This is why they’ve kept Cindy Hyde-Smith in a witness protection program. This Senator hasn’t had a single town hall in 6 years and literally runs away from reporters who ask real questions. She can run but can’t hide on Election Day. @scott_colom is coming for this seat

Accountability can defeat authoritarians and win elections. Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on his resounding victory. America, let’s follow his lead and choose democracy.
Mais uma vez, foi o povo brasileiro que me mostrou que nenhum sonho é grande demais quando a gente caminha junto. ❤️🇧🇷
Foram dias incansáveis. Cada caminhada, cada ato e cada passeata foram muito mais do que momentos de campanha. Foram encontros de sonhos que se transformaram em conquistas concretas, como o fim da jornada de trabalho 6x1.
Cada mão estendida e cada sorriso me lembravam por que dediquei minha vida à luta pelos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras deste país.
Saímos dessa caminhada mais fortes, mais unidos e mais mobilizados pela garantia de um futuro melhor.
Obrigado, Brasil, por cada abraço, cada lágrima, cada sorriso e por nunca soltar a minha mão.
Nossa história ainda tem muitas páginas bonitas para escrever.
Amanhã, dia 25 de outubro, vamos escrever mais uma delas. Juntos, pelo Brasil que a gente ama e pelo futuro que o nosso povo merece! ❤️⭐ 1️⃣3️⃣
Authoritarians are using the institutions meant to protect our democracy to seize our power. We cannot treat that as politics as usual.
This is patriots versus authoritarians. And every one of us has a role in defending our democracy.

.@staceyabrams is making it clear: If Republicans can’t move their reckless agenda forward in DC, they’ll try to push it through the states. We can’t let it happen. That’s why it’s more important than ever for us to grow Democratic power in the states this year.
Such a pleasure to join legendary author @JohnGrisham at the @KYAuthorForum in Louisville! I loved our conversation about his new book, The French Illusion, and the joy of telling a good story. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
I had the opportunity to join so many fighters for democracy, including my friends @NedLamont @JahanaHayesCT @ChrisMurphyCT and the @CTDems for their John Bailey Dinner. And I shared some of my reflections on the meaning and power of electing Governors that fight for the people.

@staceyabrams will be joined by Dr. Maria McCauley, President of the American Library Association (@ALALibrary), and Cameron Samuels, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (@studentsengaged), for a conversation moderated by Brittany Packnett Cunningham of New Disabled South (@DisabledSouth)
📅 Tuesday, September 22
⏰ 7 PM ET
Twenty-five years ago, our nation was attacked, and nearly 3,000 lives were stolen.
We remember those we lost, the families who still carry their absence and the first responders who ran toward danger. We remember, too, what was under attack that day: our people, our democracy and the freedoms that define us.
In the days that followed, Americans came together across differences because the moment demanded it. Today, our nation faces different threats and deep divisions, but the obligation to one another remains.
September 11 reminds us that in moments of crisis, we are strongest when we choose courage over fear, unity over division and determination over despair.
We honor those we lost by remembering what we share — and by defending it together.

The 10 Steps Institute brought together dozens of young leaders for discussions about authoritarianism in America, and what young people can do and are doing to push back and win freedom.
Gloria Steinem understood power: of women, words and coalitions, and she used that power to transform a stubborn nation.
She built alliances without concern for how cynics might perceive them - and she lifted leaders long before others understood their promise.
Meeting heroes always risks disappointment, but knowing Gloria was an honor, where her humor and kindness were matched by a relentless belief that we could be better.
May the Lord bless her family and all who loved her.
For more than a decade, Georgia has left billions of dollars on the table that could have kept hospitals open and helped our neighbors get the care they need.
Nine rural hospitals have closed. Rick Jackson says the consequences aren’t “as bad as anybody else thinks.”
It is easy to dismiss the consequences when you will never have to bear them. Georgians deserve a governor who knows the difference.
🚨 @RickJacksonGA just admitted he doesn’t think the consequences of failing to expand Medicaid “are as bad as anybody else thinks.”
Really Rick? 9 rural hospitals closed & you don’t think that’s bad?
This from a man who’s made billions off our broken healthcare system. #gapol

During our latest Community Call, @staceyabrams broke down what it really means to litigate, and why you don’t have to be a lawyer to have a role in challenging what’s happening around you. It can mean sharing information, organizing your community, questioning the things we’ve been told to simply accept, and making the case for something different. As Stacey puts it: “Litigation is a disruptor, because it argues that maybe it should not be so.”

Since Cindy High Prices is so hard to find in Mississippi, I figured I'd try the U.S. Capitol.
Turns out she's just as hard to find there, too.
Sixty-one years after the Voting Rights Act became law, its promise is once again under attack.
They target Black voting power first because they believe we are the easiest to silence—but their ultimate goal is to dismantle democracy for us all.
As I told @MichaelSteele last night: We have the power. We have the agency. We have the numbers. And every time we rise, unite and vote, we prove that our power is real.
Sixty-one years after the Voting Rights Act became law, its promise is once again under attack.
Voting rights are not a Black issue. They are democracy’s last defense. We have won this fight before — and through organizing, vigilance, and votes too powerful to ignore, we will win again.
Protecting democracy starts with protecting the freedom to vote. Join me tonight for a conversation about the challenges ahead and the actions we can take together to defend every eligible voter's voice. RSVP: go.redwine.blue/ve0
