Rain damaged a lot of cabbage this year in upstate NY, resulting in farmworker hours being cut. "Joe" shared, โOur wages were cut and our hours were reduced. We pick cabbage late into the year when temperatures can reach freezing levels or it can start to snow.โ #WeFeedYou

Thank you for believing in me and never forgetting Mississippi. You supported early and it wouldnโt be possible without you. God bless you & your mom! #MississippiMatters
When my mom was a little girl, she heard the gunshots that killed Medgar Evers.
This year she got to vote for Mississippiโs first Black senator since reconstruction.
This means something.
Congrats @scott_colom โ๐ฝ

I want to recognize the Elias Law Group team that spent the last week in Mississippi representing Scott Colom to ensure every legal vote was counted.

Remember all those jobs that DOGE cut? Well, 10 percent were Veterans. Worse, they cut jobs of people who provide Veteran services as well as actual funding for Veteran services.
So, when Trump says he honors Veterans today. Think about that...

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about โNATO not being there for Americaโ is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.
A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And youโve got a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth."

The best way Democrats can keep the Latino voters they won back is to focus relentlessly on affordability. ICE is part of that. You canโt provide for your family if youโre constantly afraid of being ripped away from them.
Itโs the economy, stupid!

We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory โ in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour โ thatโs 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered โshahedโ drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these โshahedsโ becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russiaโs occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

JUST IN: Iโm working with @SenAdamSchiff, @RepJuanVargas, @RepSaraJacobs, @RepMikeLevin, and @RepScottPeters to find this 8-YEAR-OLD boy that was taken by ICE.
WHERE IS THIS CHILD? Who is this little boy a threat to? And why the hell are we spending our taxpayer dollars on UN-AMERICAN, VILE things like this.
I will not rest until we find this child.

According to LA MAGA GOP Senator John Kennedy, "A smart man washes his hands after he urinates. A wise man doesn't urinate on his hands."
This is his advice to his fellow MAGA Senators in Congress about their loss of the majority in the Midterms.
With advice like this Democrats will have the majority in the Senate for years to come.
And that is a beautiful thing.
