This implies that he did this to help the people of Iran, which of course not his motivation.

It’s time to impeach and remove Donald Trump before it’s too late.

Big list to cover with @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social today in advance of the State of the Union. The UK is taking action from the Epstein files. Let’s give that a try in the U.S.

The greatest American response would be to elect a woman President in 2028. She would repair our global friendships, clean our House from crime & corruption, manage our money & affordability, take care of our kids & our planet, make sure we get to the doctor when we need to, and help find us jobs.

Fuck all these billionaires destroying the democracy, freedoms, and workers that educated them, built their businesses, took care of their kids, and helped make them rich.

As a part of any deals made, we need to be pushing to UNMASK ICE. For one thing, the masks embolden them. Second, for social and public pressure. Your church, community, friends, and neighbors should have visibility. Last, for accountability and prosecution which will come.

On with @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social as President Trump agrees to move out ICE agents… this is a direct result of the people of MN using their constitutional right to free speech and protest.

Tough loss in TN but if you organized, volunteered, knocked doors, made calls, gave money, talked to your friends, voted Dem — maybe for the 1st time ever, don’t despair. Together, you and Aftyn Behn did something incredible to deliver single digit margin in a Trump 22 district. We see you! 💐

TN is wildly gerrymandered to benefit Republicans & Trump won by 22 points. That this is even a race we’re talking about is a credit to the organizers and volunteers and regular folks (Aftyn is all of those) in TN who’ve worked hard not just now, but for a LONG time to pave a pathway to compete.

Me and team NEWCO hit the phones today making over 350 calls for @aftynbehn.bsky.social Expanding the map starts tonight. Rooting for a win. Proud of Aftyn and all of the volunteers and organizers’ hard work - no matter what. Let’s go!

Shout out to my mom who had so much aluminum foil when she passed we’re still using it 11 years later. 🦃

Whew. We’re entering into next level talking points. Make the ads.

Maybe Senate Dems should read The Art of the Deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Not on purpose of course, but kinda a big night for DEI.

Thank you to all of the Democratic campaign organizers and volunteers who stayed laser focused on organizing — through everything this year. We see you! Let’s win!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Donald Trump is dangerous and reckless. He is breaking the law and the Constitution. Congress must act swiftly.

Many Lawmakers Share Their Home Addresses. Political Violence Is Changing That.

Requiring candidates and elected officials to publicly disclose their home address is outdated and should be abolished for safety — today. It’s time to change the laws. Reach out to www.democracysecurityproject.org if you need help navigating this right now. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

I am pleased to announce that I will join The Hague Talks, the flagship event of the Just Peace Festival, as a key speaker. On this day of peaceful political protests from millions across the U.S. and the targeted political assassinations in Minnesota, I am reflecting on “What is Just Peace?”

I started DSP last year because it’s become so dangerous to serve your country and community. The gunman planned this attack, impersonated a police officer, and is on the loose. We must condemn these violent political acts and murder of elected officials. Do not normalize political violence.
