I should do @jubileemedia just to dunk on nerds like this.
Imagine the privilege you have when your main political issue is a place in the mid east while millions in your own country don’t know if they’ll have enough for rent and groceries.

That’s not to minimize the horrors of what’s happening in Gaza, Sudan, the DRC or Lebanon.
But as a Black Democrat, I won’t be lectured about oppression by gentrifiers whose only understanding of it comes from what they learned sophomore year at Choate.

Hakeem needs — and I suspect he'll get — a double digit majority so he won't have to waste time with this bullshit.
There's too much at stake. Everyone's focus should be winning on Nov 3 then holding trump accountable and bringing down prices next year.
Neither Darializa Avila Chevalier nor Melat Kiros would commit to backing Hakeem Jeffries as speaker.
“'What am I actually voting for' is gonna be the most important question for ... my district,” Kiros told @DashaBurns.

The people of Michigan are drowning in the failed Republican economy.
As a working-class mom of three, @cbhines586 is fighting to lower costs and ensure every family can afford to see a doctor when they need one.
That’s how it should be in America.

I am tired of moving legislation out of the house only for it to die in the Senate. We need progressive fighters like @AbdulElSayed in the Senate to deliver real solutions for working people.

I've always thought Democrats should do more interviews on right-wing networks.
So I went on @NEWSMAX to dismantle the hateful attacks against @AbdulElSayed.

The president is either delusional or lying to the American people.
Since he launched the disastrous war in the Middle East, supported by Republicans in Congress, the cost of everything from gas to groceries has skyrocketed.
And hardworking families are paying the price.
Trump says prices are coming “way down.” Inflation is 3.7% and has risen in three of the last five months. Core inflation rose in September too.

The cost of living in Florida is way too high.
@ERodforCongress is fighting hard to make life more affordable.
And stop the Trump administration’s violent mass deportation machine from attacking law-abiding immigrant families.

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress. I have always stood up to him and that will never change. The pedophile protector will never silence me.
BREAKING WaPo:
Trump officials scrutinized Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2019. They didn't find citizenship issues.
The earlier review of Omar's immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now. washingtonpost.com/national-…

The president is completely detached from reality.
Billionaires and his Big Oil donors may be making more money than ever—but working-class families are struggling to stay afloat due to his disastrous policies

Most Americans think that Donald Trump is profiting off the presidency either illegally or unethically, according to a new poll

Freedom to worship and practice your faith without fear is part of America’s promise. That promise includes our Indian-American and Hindu-practicing brothers and sisters.
Under no circumstances can white supremacy and hate be tolerated in our democracy. I am grateful for law enforcement’s swift intervention to prevent loss of precious lives.
May peace be with you, your family, and your entire community, @CongressmanRaja.

Critics called House Democrats naive for taking on the affordability crisis.
But we knew what mattered to everyday Americans drowning in the failed Trump economy.
Now the American people know exactly who’s fighting to make their lives more affordable.

Dems need everyone from @AOC to @RepCuellar.
Big tent is the only way back to a Democratic majority.

I don’t understand how my Republican colleagues could hold hands with their fellow legislators, say a long prayer, and then vote to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid.
There ought to be a connection between what you say on Sunday and what you do on Monday.

Republicans have ruined the economy and made your life more expensive.
Enough.

Inflation is up 54% from the day Donald Trump was elected. That's why Democrats just might take both houses of Congress in the midterms.

In March, I said on @MSNOWNews that there was a 30% chance Dems take the Senate in next month's midterm.
Today I've got that number at 52%.
Last week, The Cook Political Report moved three Senate races, all towards Democrats.
Read about those changes from @JessicaTaylor:

We knew from day one that President Trump’s plan to flood local grocery stores with imported beef was a shameful betrayal of American cattle ranchers.
As predicted, we can now say it was also an ineffective approach to lowering prices.
