For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs.

How many times does Confederate America get to try to destroy the Constitution and then move on under the protection of the Constitution we defended from their assault?

I think it’s unconscionable that we are willing to move heaven and earth to find money for stadiums, but seemingly incapable of doing the same to prevent the closure of schools. My constituents are outraged. They are right to be. There’s still time to fix this, but we’re going to need to lock in.

Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway.
I hope he sues their asses off.

Ken Paxton, caught on video admitting he’s lost control of his own campaign:
“I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control… it’s all coming… from DC.”
Texas deserves a senator who answers to Texans — not Washington operatives pulling the strings.

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

Troy Jackson says: “I don’t owe Donald Trump and the billionaires anything. I owe Mainers everything.” Read that twice. Most politicians can’t say it with a straight face. He’s running for U.S. Senate promising to fight for Mainers, not donors.

You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated.
Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger.
Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline.
The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊
