"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."
Thank you to the Richmond (RI) Town Council who approved a resolution to support federal employees affected by the shutdown. For any federal workers who went without pay, 2nd-quarter taxes due on December 7th can now be delayed without penalties or interest for an additional 60 days.
Now that the shutdown is over and federal workers are expected to receive pay still the delay caused financial hardship to workers. This step is meant to ease some of the financial strain on our neighbors who continue to provide essential services during this difficult time. #RDTC #richmondems
In 349 days, you’re going to go to the polls, and you have a chance to make an impact. If you want to see someone who brings hope on the ballot, that person is your neighbor now. Encourage them to run. Let’s make sure our candidates are successful. Let’s make change together.

The results 2 weeks ago came from local people standing up to help, from people who are parents, neighbors who had enough. From people running for office. From volunteers who knocked on doors, who registered voters, who raised money. It came from those who got together to make their own change.
Two weeks ago victories in Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and California brought new hope. Out of 32 school committee races that Moms for Liberty ran in, they didn’t succeed in a single race. In spite of the negativity we see in the news and on social media, real voters want responsible leadership

I have news for Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the billionaires: no matter how much money you have, no matter how many poor people you take food and medicine away from, it will never fill that hole inside of you.
Check your town schedule for any upcoming elections or referendums. Confirm your registration is active NOW, well before federal elections. Ask your friends if they are registered, mark your calendars and make a voting plan today! And don't forget, many States have off-year elections. Be Prepared!

Trump is about to eat a giant taco shell. Inside the taco is a skinny, wide-eyed cartoon chicken clinging to a lettuce leaf, looking frightened while in a dining room with make America great again posters in the background and the caption “It’s Chicken Taco Time.”
