Pragmatic Progressive
Unapologetic Democrat

Voting like Black women since 1976.

Here's what I was taught:

Always vote to reduce harm.
Especially to those who don't have your advantages.

Don't know why this is so hard for some people.

And why they are so proud of opting *not* to do that.

Tonight, House Democrats voted to rein in Trump and find a way to responsibly end his war in Iran so that we can put an end to the skyrocketing costs that are crushing working Americans.

Statement from New Dem Leadership.

Thank you, Rep. Nancy Mace for joining the right side of this fight for the 59,000 combat injured veterans who have waited long enough. We now have 218 signatures on the discharge petition for the Major Richard Star Act — a majority of the House has spoken. Speaker Johnson must schedule a vote.

Thankful for the swift response of the first responders on the scene.

The House just passed another bipartisan War Powers Resolution — with 4 more Republicans joining Democrats — to stop the Iran War.

Enough with Trump’s endless war costing us billions.

Stop endangering our troops.

Lower the cost of living and the price of gas.

Wake up.

House Republicans just voted to choke port communities and harm our children with dirtier air.

Why? To give Big Oil another handout while YOU keep paying more for gas, back-to-school clothes, diesel, groceries and more thanks to Trump’s disastrous Iran war.

I swear I had completely forgotten about Macklemore until his name came up for the Ed Sheeran tour. I never viewed him as much of an entertainer. But to each his own. Also, I would never spend money to see Ed Sheeran. You would have to pay me to see Macklemore.

Three short whistle blasts mean immigration enforcement activity is visible nearby. One long blast means an action may be underway and observers are needed. The Arizona Whistle Project has the codes, the hotline numbers and printable know-your-rights cards.

It’s not a standard arms deal, it’s a sale via the Foreign Military Financing program using the “emergency authority” loopholes is the short version to bypass that.

Your tax $ is explicitly being used to “sell” the exact weaponry the Biden-Harris admin put a pause on sending to Israel. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

As it says at the bottom of the article, Trump immediately reversed the moratorium upon taking office (like he did with a lot of sanctions).

Donald Trump is preparing to supply $2.8 billion worth of bombs to Israel, The Washington Post reports. U.S. taxpayers will foot the bill.

I've been a little worried about this one, bc we need every (D) we can get in the Senate and I do not think Mr. El-Sayed was the best choice of nominee.

But if Rogers wants to continue making unforced errors such as open, rank cowardice, that changes things considerably!
