It cannot be overstated how much red tape Republicans added to the process of getting Medicaid and SNAP. Millions of people who literally qualify for these programs are being kicked off them, despite qualifying, because of all the red tape Grassley voted to add to them.
Republicans hv been hard @ work cutting red tape 2 lower costs+ make life easier for Americans We hv already overturned 23 Biden era regulations thru legislation GOP is committed 2 slashing heavy-handed gov policies

If you are filling out your ballot tonight and looking at Prop 133 (Human Trafficking), it is important to know that victim advocates, anti-trafficking groups, and child advocacy centers are opposed to it ...

This is why we can’t get rid of the Education Department.
Yesterday, the Energy Department announced major investments towards Tribal communities energy infrastructure that will lower energy costs for Americans! 🇺🇸

The very quickest way to squander it is to not actually deliver real policy wins for working class people. And that's true not just of Dems at the federal level, every single state and local elected needs to be part of that project in the lead up to 2028.

Every national Democratic leader should be on fire about the disgusting, overt racist abuse the right subjects Angie to and moving heaven and earth to support her campaign. Jigsaw may get Trump’s invitation on Air Force One for talking like this, but Angie’s race is winnable.
Hey there. If you’re going to call my phone and lob racial slurs, don’t block your number. Say it with your chest. Go to AngieNixon.com to donate so we can win and send this racist man spiraling.

Cannot overstate how anathema it is to everything we are supposed to stand for that the president is trying to denaturalize his political enemy. It’s unamerican, it’s dictatorial, and it deserves to be rebuked as vehemently as possible.
BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin's investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe. wsj.com/politics/policy/ilha…

As a native New Englander with family in Maine, boy do I enjoy watching Troy Jackson.
Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."

At @CommChangeAct we’ve been saying income — not education (although there’s lots of interplay) is the key. That’s why we are targeting voters making the national median average and below.
Buried in this piece: According to data from The Argument, Dem gains are EXTREMELY correlated with income, to an INSANE degree. Those making $200K+ are only swinging 4% bluer, while on the other end, those making <$25K have swung a whopping SIXTEEN POINTS BLUER!

remember when we told yall how incompetent jena griswold is & how giving her a promotion to an office that she isnt even qualified to have an entry position in (to make no mention of her abhorrent treatment of staff) was a terrible idea? well, behold her parting gift to colorado
NEW: Uh-oh for CoCo. The yet-to-be-built train for the Front Range Passenger Rail District is seeking a sales tax from voters in 13 Colorado counties. But in three of those counties - Adams, Douglas & Weld - some voters are seeing it on their ballot when they shouldn't.

We got a million Coloradans crushed by medical debt. Teachers living counties away from where they work. Lots of work to do, but it starts with fixing our broken tax system. YES ON 87 protectcoloradosfuture.com/

The good news is that this is so brazen that most Americans see the scam.
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!

This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. pbs.org/newshour/polit… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

An erasure poem of District Attorney Matthew Van Houten’s explanation for why the Cornell Seven were not criminally prosecuted. The materials sent to the prosecutor by campus police were missing Jane’s assertions that she was raped. Staggering. In this poem, I decided to omit the document to unerase Jane’s truth within it.

Thanks for asking! Here’s who it’s NOT backed by: Colorado Society of Addiction Medicine Colorado Academy of Family Physicians Colorado Psychiatric Society American College of Emergency Physicians (Colorado Chapter) All oppose Prop 132.
A conservative dark money group is running Prop 132 asking voters to put more Coloradans in prison for fentanyl. Is it backed by people who make money off private prisons? Don’t know. It’s dark money.
