Frustrated Democrats remember all too well. With tested candidates like @benwikler.bsky.social ready to lead DNC out of obscurity to viable organization, the Centrists would rather we commit political suicide. @whitehouse.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
GodRemember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
Every Great Lakes member of Congress and the Governors of those states must demand Gov Whitmer finally stop Enbridge from fatally decimating our shared GREAT LAKES. It is time to Remove the pipeline! @barbmcquade.bsky.social
Oil & Water Don't Mix🎉 THE GREAT LAKES WON TODAY. MISC just vacated the permit for Enbridge's Line 5 oil tunnel — 6 to 1. The oil tunnel has no state siting approval, which is required under federal law. This victory belongs to the Tribes who never stopped fighting: They led. The Court listened. #ShutDownLine5

“Great Lakes provide drinking water to more than 40 MILLION people. Without a barrier, carp could wreak havoc on $20 billion fishing/boating industries and upend freshwater ecosystem, experts say.” Unconscionable harm by a degenerate President. @pbsnews.org @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social
Chicago Sun-TimesGov. Pritzker accused the Trump administration of playing "political games" after it ordered a work stoppage on the Joliet project intended to keep invasive Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.

Philip BumpAs I've said before: What high-paying long-term jobs do they pretend exist here? A data center isn't a place where execs come and do Big Deals. Go to the server room at your workplace; are there lots of rich people in there spending money?

Alt National Park ServiceWe found some fraud, waste, and abuse. Trump ordered the National Park Service to spend $5 million on a project to paint four horse statues using 23.75-karat gold leaf. This money was intended to maintain our national parks, but instead it’s being spent on gold paint for statues.
THIS messaging, Congress. Trump Admin and predatory White House Staff have made America a pariah nation of our Global Community. This places us in harm’s way. @schumer.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @whipkclark.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social
🍁🇨🇦Team Canada Forever🇨🇦🍁France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
