Trump got 3 American soldiers killed today because of his unconstitutional war of choice. Everyone should be mad as hell that this warmonger in chief is sending people’s sons and daughters into yet another unjustified war. #NoWarWithIran #EndForeverWar // @commondefense

Amy Acton's brother reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy using their estranged mother in a campaign ad: "...Our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.”

Donald Trump's ICE has separated over 6,200 children. Michele Tafoya still welcomed his endorsement. Peggy Flanagan will defend Minnesotans, not ICE.

@peggyflanaganOct 15
This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process. I hope you'll watch my TV ad:

Before everyone freaks out, let’s remember that KSTP had Peggy losing the primary and yet she wrapped up election night +20. Ignore the polls and go knock some doors for @peggyflanagan , @keithellison , and the entire @MinnesotaDFL ticket. 19 days to go!

Governor Pritzker has been leading the charge on so many issues that matter to Illinoisans. Under his leadership, IL has invested in modernized veterans’ housing, educational opportunities, and so much more! We are proud to endorse him for another term.

We are proud to endorse Justin J. Pearson for Congress! Justin understands that standing with veterans means ensuring they have the support they need long after taking off the uniform and has shown he is ready to fight for Tennesseans in DC.

It's been 20 days since Republicans fled DC rather than vote to impeach Hegseth, stop Trump's illegal war, or pass the Major Richard Star Act.

SENATOR SLOTKIN: If you hear in the next 34 days that there is a new security threat that you’ve never heard of, that somehow requires federal law enforcement or the military and not local police, an alarm bell should go off in your brain. Do not let him get away with that.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible. When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit. When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power. When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.
