I explain my firm decision to refuse AIPAC funding and clarify why supporting the Jewish community and Israel's right to defend itself are separate from accepting money from political PACs. #AIPAC #Israel #OH7 #LauraforUs
I do not take corporate PAC money because I believe your representative should answer to you, not wealthy donors. This campaign is being built by people who are tired of being overlooked and pushed aside. Give today to help us grow. #LauraforUs #OH7 #OhioPolitics secure.actblue.com/donate/laura...
We've spent too long sending career politicians to Congress while expecting different results. Its time to try something different: its time for a change. #LauraforUs #OH7
Food costs keep rising while paychecks stay flat. Washington keeps telling people to work harder. That is not the problem. The problem is an economy built to protect profits before people. Share this if your grocery bill is hitting harder than ever. #affordability #OH7 #LauraforUs
If you work full time, you should be able to afford a place to live. That should not be controversial. Across Ohio’s 7th, families are being crushed by housing costs that rise faster than paychecks. People are not failing. Policy is. I believe housing is part of basic economic dignity. #OH7
American service members and their families deserve the truth.
The rest of us deserve answers about why there is never enough money for health care, lower costs, or working families, but there is always money for another war of choice. END

So far, the story is:
Not a regime change war but the regime is gone.
Not about liberation but the people are supposedly “free.”
Not an imminent threat but maybe it was.
Nuclear program “obliterated” but also the reason we had no choice

Here, people are working two jobs and still falling behind. Seniors are starving on SNAP benefits slashed by this administration. Prices are way up. Wages are flat. Good jobs are disappearing. And this government - instead of fighting for you - is dragging us toward another war in the Middle East.
Today, the U.S. launched military strikes against Iran without a vote of Congress. Without the consent of the American people, who, by and large do not want this.

The U.S. government has no right to withhold funds Congress has already allocated, by law, to programs and services benefitting the American people.

As many as 550,000 people file for bankruptcy every year due to medical bills in the U.S. 26,000 Americans die each year because of lack of health insurance. If we can use taxpayer dollars to send a hospital boat to #Greenland, there is absolutely NO reason we can’t have Medicare for All here. #M4A
Wexner laughed when his lawyer joked about killing him for answering too many questions in his deposition.
Must be nice.
Epstein’s survivors aren’t laughing. Justice isn’t supposed to have a price tag. I will fight to make sure it doesn’t.
I’m not laughing.

What does freedom mean if families can’t afford housing, healthcare, or security?
In 1944, Franklin Roosevelt proposed a Second Bill of Rights—economic rights to make freedom real in everyday life.
I made a short video about why it still matters today.

Today, we lost Rev.Jesse Jackson. He stood by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. He ran for Presient twice because he knew the only way to change the country was to challenge it and force it to either expand its vision or be defined by its limits.

Not sure if they are setting up Republicans on this but obviously MANY more reforms are needed.
It’s a concrete patio now.
This airs at 8 am EDT tomorrow at aljazeera.com/live and then will be repayable at some point at www.aljazeera.com/program/head.... It’ll be better than anything you usually watch in the morning, I’m sure. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social was terrific.
This is illegal, immoral, and it needs to stop.
Spent my day getting into some good trouble with @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . Obligatory late-day selfie for context.
With 99% probability
RFK, Jr. continues the death march against his own people.
Seems like an extreme statement to make? This isn’t the time for pleasantries: people have died, are dying, or will die because of mistakes he makes. And, he knows it. #HHS
Now having finished the book, I did with it the only thing worthy of its bullshit. The time spent measuring and cutting was more meaningful than the time spent reading it…I still think our asses deserve better toilet paper. #OriginalSin @jaketapper.bsky.social
This has got to be my favorite protest title of all time. I wonder if Rage Against the Machine regrets not having this as an album title? It’s kind of perfect
Agree. Citations needed here! Mr. Murphy needs his flowers 🌺
Amen, Hermano
No they aren’t. We are a rigged state. Not a red state. What we need is some damned backbone and a party infrastructure to push back the tide. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for coming to Ohio. We need national leaders to shine a light. Our GOP follows Trump’s every move—ex. Trump slashes food aid, Ohio slashes more. Rinse. Repeat. People are afraid to speak. We need infrastructure to support leaders who want to, especially Latino community leaders.
Gaza is descending into famine and Trump is turning his back on this moral crisis. There is no excuse - ever - to deprive civilians of desperately needed food and water. Trump must press Israel to end this blockade.
That is some bullshit
He has congestive heart failure. My bet is he’ll throw a clot.
