Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

Musk's reckless threats toward the U.S. and his enabling of Russia's war machine demand consequences. Laws evolve. We took down Capone with taxes and used RICO on Big Tobacco. We have the emergency national security tools to nationalize SpaceX and seize Musk's assets. #DV1 #GTS #ProudBlue #Blues

1/ What if the most effective way to silence dissent isn’t banning speech, but making it so costly that people stop? Lose your job. Risk expulsion or deportation. Face police for a sign. Across countries, people are being taught the price of speaking. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

2/ Some states, including Georgia and Indiana, let anyone challenge anyone's registration. Now there is right wing software that automates it. EagleAI, now rebranded as ELLY and backed by Cleta Mitchell's Election Integrity Network, autofills challenge forms in a few clicks. bsky.app/profile/digi...

5/ EagleAI is explicitly described as enabling mass challenges by non-official actors using unreliable matching, shifting power from professional list maintenance to activist-driven contestation. That’s a recipe for false positives and administrative overload. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

1/ If you haven't voted yet and you live in a red state, please vote now. There is an organized, well-funded effort to challenge voters' registrations at scale, and eligible voters can get knocked off the rolls without knowing it until they show up. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

i’m just so fucking sorry that my muslim friends have to be hit with this despicable racism every single day. it’s not ok and you should not have to tolerate it. this country belongs to all of us.

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

We are good people who know what to do and will vote up a blue wave!💙💙💙

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

Ossoff: "If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God, in front of Congress!"

VOTE THEM OUT!

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

1/ The US spent decades making itself indispensable to allies. Now Europe is building alternatives: satellites, military data, even software. The latest warning came from Ukraine, where Reuters traced a restriction on satellite service to the White House. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred stock trades while Trump sits in the Oval Office. Mark Kelly has made zero in six years in the Senate. Trump wants rules for everyone else, just not for the family getting richer while your grocery bill keeps climbing. #TrumpsAbuseOfPower

What a smelly full diaper lie!

Canada is a sovereign nation. You have no voice or power there. Your baseline personality is a Psychopath-Sociopath, Narcissist, Machiavellian, paranoid, sadist with significant advancing dementia. Take your word salad and your authoritarianism and go crawl in a hole.

This was Lindsey Graham's bill, something he felt strongly about. So, of course, his devoted sister, Darline Graham, will ferociously rebuke Donald Trump for this. I'm kidding! She doesn't give a shit about her dead brother's wishes. She just wants the fame, $174,000, and free healthcare.

Elon Musk is pouring millions into Republican Senate races, including efforts to help Ken Paxton in Texas, where Musk has major business interests. One billionaire with enough money to influence an election. How? Citizens United made this possible. Reminder Tomorrow: N🚫 Kings #VoteEarlyOnNoKings

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

Arewe enraged yet! This is fucking serious! Fuck trump! We all must do something about this!

1/ A secret military task force in San Antonio is working the midterms, and ICE is fast-tracking a spy network in two dozen cities. Nobody gets to call this hysterical anymore. It's documented. The only question left is what we do. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1/ No Kings' Instagram went dark for ~90 minutes at peak mobilization today. Meta stayed silent, then admitted "a bad call." Organizers are still locked out. Ezra Levin: suspended "without explanation." Zuckerberg's platform. Remember Brazil? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Truth! 3 votes from our house for that great leader

What an impressive young man Abdul El-Sayed is. He is a man of moral certainty and he does not waver. He will fight for us because that is who he is. Start at the 34:40 mark. It gets real there. Dems disagreeing, amicably. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy youtu.be/-WrnppHGCEQ?...

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

1/ In May, I wrote: “The real fraud is the con that this is about fraud at all.” I warned fraud claims could become cover for cutting benefits. Four months later, 760,000 ACA enrollees are being removed in an anti-fraud sweep. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

As gas prices in Michigan hit $5/gallon and diesel hits a record $6.59, it shouldn't be this hard to buy gas, groceries, or afford healthcare. Our economy has been rigged against the very people who make it work. I'm running for Senate to change that.
