    The rumors are true. Today we’re announcing the Courage to Change PAC - and we need your help. We are pushing the envelope in DC by rewarding those who reject lobbyist money, fight for working families,& welcome newcomers. Change takes courage. Let’s go:

    Trump’s “imminent threat” is the new “WMD”: there’s no evidence given for either.

    I’m also not the only one. Expanding a House majority is critical, which is why I regularly (and happily) fundraise sizeable amounts for fellow members. I also believe that a Dem majority should be transformative, which is why I give strategically. Seems fair, no?

    I give quite a bit to fellow Dems - we’ve fundraised over $300,000 for others (more than my “dues”), w/ over 50% going to swing seats. DCCC made clear that they will blacklist any org that helps progressive candidates like me. I can choose not to fund that kind of exclusion.

    SCOOP: withholding $250,000 in "dues" from the Democratic party in protest and building her own grassroots fundraising for progressives instead AOC riles Dems by refusing to pay party dues, bankrolling colleagues' opponents

    La representante demócrata asegura que quienes dicen que Estados Unidos "tiene dinero para una guerra" pero no para el cuidado de salud o matrículas gratuitas, "están jugando juegos contigo".

    The people who tell you we DO have war money but DON’T have healthcare money, tuition-free money, infrastructure money, or Green New Deal money are playing games with you.

    Sarah Sanders can’t think of anything dumber than the Constitution.

    Fox News contributor Sarah Sanders on war powers: "I can't think of anything dumber than allowing Congress to take over our foreign policy ... The last thing we want to do is push powers into Congress' hands and take them away from the president." (h/t .)

    How about “I am a Republican and will be voting Democrat because Trump is an authoritarian threat to our collective wellbeing.”

    Opinion: "I am a Republican, and I hope the Democrats pick a candidate I can vote for"

    Hi Jim, I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war. It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors.

    8 yrs old. That’s how old was when she fled for her life as her home was decimated by war I know you think war’s a for profit video game but you’d be wise to take a seat and take your cues from folks like Ilhan who actually know what they’re talking about

    I find it highly amusing that my coworkers angrily yell stuff like this and then clutch their pearls and cry when they are called out for their racism

    I was in the same briefing as you, , and this is absolutely false. You and your squad of Ayatollah sympathizers are spreading propaganda that divides our nation and strengthens our enemies.

    Are people actually upset over discussing multiparty systems? The conversation is helpful for understanding difference among Dems. People are acting like a Dem didn’t just join the GOP a few wks ago. Other safe Dems actually fundraise for Republicans. That’s not “moderate.”

    Please keep your thoughts today w/ Puerto Rico. Earthquakes began to hit last night, tearing down schools & buildings. Island-wide blackouts reported. My abuela relies on oxygen, and the power outage means she’s not breathing as she should - just one of many such stories. 🇵🇷

    Puerto Rico has had the following earthquakes within the last 2 hours: 6.0 5.6 5.0 4.2 4.5 4.3 All of these quakes were centered off of the southern coast of PR.

    In our current primary field, some people treat healthcare as a right, and others don’t. Doesn’t make you enemies, it makes you different. Abroad, being in diff parties doesn’t mean you dislike each other. It means you acknowledge your differences and come together in coalition.

    Yeah, I don’t know why people are up in arms about this. Many other countries have multiparty democracies, where several parties come together in a coalition to govern. In another country, I’d be in a Labor Party like Jacinda Ardern. Our primary field would cover 2-3 parties.

    This is just a politically sophisticated analysis. In Canada, Biden would be a Liberal and would be NDP. In the rest of the developed world the “universal hc costs too much” candidate would be in a conservative party.

    This clip is from 6 months ago. Pay attention. The Trump admin has been chomping at the bit to pursue conflict with Iran for months. We must act now to save lives, protect the innocent, and limit the immense damage that has been done. War isn’t “smart” - it’s barbaric.

    Targeting cultural sites is a war crime. It should also go without saying that sites like Persepolis (& its PEOPLE) are not only treasures to Iranians, they are gifts to humanity. They tell humanity’s story - that is why authoritarians target them. They want to erase history.

    NEWS from AF1 - POTUS doubled down on cultural sites in Iran as appropriate sites for retaliation.
