Pete said don’t let the Traverse City move fool you I am still Indiana’s son 😤

JD Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: our political pressure against this plan is…



I’m sure the actual motive for this biblical proportion tone change is beyond my wildest imagination BUT there are a lot of Americans who aren’t going to get the point unless it’s coming from messengers like Marjorie Taylor Greene so…an actually genuine thank you (???)

Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say if that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session ... there is a new Democrat that's been elected that does deserve to be sworn in ... if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why…



It’s been a while since I’ve seen a statewide candidate Streisand Effect themselves to this degree. It is very basic ball to get asked what your campaign will do to appeal to voters on the other side. A moot point in CA? Sure. But it’s not an insane question.

Katie Porter, the front runner to be the next Governor of California, tries to leave an interview after getting frustrated w/ @juliewattsTV questions

In @politico interview, Buttigieg delivers a response to the Harris book that is dignified, restrained – and also quite stinging From @adamwren & @lisakashinsky politico.com/news/2025/09/1…

A few weeks ago, I found myself deeply understanding why so many women just quit. But we don’t. Because they matter. Their future matters. So we stay in it. For them.

Honored to join @DefendUSAAction, former HHS Secretary Becerra, former HRSA Admin. Johnson, Congressman Walkinshaw, and Del. Henson in highlighting the devastating impact of Trump & MAGA Republicans’ dangerous healthcare cuts on Virginia’s hospitals & the communities they serve.

Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?



Trump was 57 years old when he drew this. Not in dog years.

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. @khadeeja_safdar & @joe_palazzolo wsj.com/us-news/law/ep…

This is why they are changing the maps.

Democrats are going to flip a Trump +11 state Senate seat in Iowa tonight, by a wide margin, continuing a streak of special election over-performances in the Hawkeye State. At the current margin it would be a 19 point swing toward Democrats.

I haven’t received this many manic all caps text messages since Biden dropped out


If you have news to dump, now is the time


We are approaching candidate crashout levels not seen since the Pete campaign

I’m sure a scavenger hunt was fun for the people with nothing better to do. Ask our working families trying to do whatever they can to survive if they participated. Ask the people worried about making rent if they thought it was worth it. Mamdani is trying to turn our city into…

“I gave my life to christ in a cracker barrel parking lot in Tallahassee” is a lana del rey lyric

In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It’s time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again 🇺🇸

There is a Tatte and a sweetgreen on this corner. Super scary.

Situation in DC, on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no agency ID'd -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"



This is a test for other states with equally large Black/Brown populations, I hope y’all realize that

Trump announces he is "officially invoking section 740, of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act" & "placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control" He also announces he is activating the national guard
