Great conversation today with @racheljanfaza.bsky.social on Gen Z and these midterms. Where their head is at? Will they vote? What’s driving them? Good stuff. Today’s show. Have a listen.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Idk who needs to hear this but Scott Presler is either full of shit; himself; toxic amounts of hairspray; or all of the above. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

I know Kevin McCarthy. I served with Kevin McCarthy. He can’t wipe that smile off his face. He knows he’s gaslighting here. Even out of office, he’s gotta keep lying to that @FoxNews audience to keep the money coming in.

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.

Some folks spend Friday night at the Young Men's Democratic Club in Williamsport by grabbing a bite, a drink, or enjoying the company of friends. Other folks come to stuff envelopes to help elect Ray Bilger for Congress. (bilgerforcongress.com) 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪

The Lycoming County Democratic Committee had a table for Juneteenth festivities at Memorial Park in Williamsport! My first as Party Chair—great event!!
