These are the 37 Democrats who rejected AIPAC and voted against billions in unconditional military aid and offensive weapons for Israel today. They voted like Palestinian lives and our laws and human rights truly matter. Thank you for standing on the right side of history.

I’m in the @BernieSanders canvassing training at a Las Vegas field office w/ 30+ folks who came on a bus from Arizona. When the organizer asked who’s ever canvassed before, *85% raised their hands for 1st time.* That is exciting. This campaign is building new political power.

Sinema is setting her political future on fire. If she doesn't change course drastically and soon, it will be too late.

If you believe, as almost all Democrats do, that climate change is an existential emergency, then *it has to matter to you* that Bernie’s climate plan is many times more ambitious than Biden’s and Bernie has the support of nearly every major climate leader or organization.

All are welcome to join the #NotMeUs bandwagon. Truly. As @BernieSanders says, this is a movement of justice and compassion. We took many different roads to come together. Join us and let's win the America of our boldest dreams.

I appreciate the good Jay Z has sought to do w/ his platform, but it looks today like $ is still what comes 1st for him. Doing this deal w/out Kaep's involvement while he's still shut out of the league in retaliation for protesting racial injustice is just wrong. #ImStillWithKaep

BREAKING: Over a hundred West Virginians and our allies are nonviolently blockading the power plant that makes Joe Manchin rich burning his dirty coal while he kills climate legislation. We're making Good Trouble to say “Enough!” to Manchin’s corruption: climate action now!

The man on left, Trump’s Sec of Labor Alex Acosta, helped the man on right, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, escape accountability for *serial sexual abuse of minors*. Acosta now oversees efforts to stop human trafficking. He must go. #FireAlexAcosta Story:

Important statement. Arizona progressives are calling on @kyrstensinema to abolish the filibuster. We can't give Mitch McConnell a veto on the legislation young people, communities of color, Native nations & working families––the voters who powered Sinema's win––urgently need.

Two things should be clear based on tonight’s historic hearing. 1. Trump MUST be charged with the most serious applicable crime for leading this violent coup attempt. 2. Democrats MUST end the filibuster to pass legislation to protect our democracy from the fascist threat.

BREAKING: West Virginians are risking arrest shutting down street at Robert Byrd federal court house in Charleston. We say, "No more!" to Manchin’s corrupt obstruction! It’s time to end the filibuster and pass legislation to solve the crises facing our nation. #SitInToSaveAmerica
