🚨 Please share broadly! As usual, the Kochs are dumping tons of money into GOP candidates...especially into *critical swing districts* we need to flip.

I've threaded links below to the Democratic challengers in these races. Please RT and support them! /1

Please see our @DemWritePress #NovemberDemocrats page for a complete list of Dem *NOMINEES* who are competing in critical swing districts. We'll add more all summer as states have their primaries...

Thanks to everyone pointing out Pittenger lost his primary. Nevertheless, Koch money is in the district.

In Portland today, 16 foreign-trained immigrant nurses graduated from an innovative new re-entry program - the @IRCOnews Immigrant Nurse Credentialing Program.

Nurses from Ethiopia, Cuba, Ukraine, Japan & more will now be able to practice in the US.

This. is. America. 🇺🇸
I had am honored to have had a hand in starting this program, and the stories of these wonderful graduates today brought me to tears. Our healthcare industry is in desperate need of nurses, and yet we have these trained, diverse and multi-lingual nurses sitting on the bench.
Many of the nurses who graduated today have been working in jobs well below their skill level. This phenomenon, known as "brain waste", is rampant - and not exclusive to the health care industry.

RT Announcement

I wanted to let you all know that I’ve decided to pick a lane & focus my time/effort on the one solution that will ultimately turn things around:

Electing Democrats.
Expelling the GOP.
Every office.
Every state.
#Blue2020

Follow me for this content. /1
The next two years will offer endless rabbit holes & distractions. The Mueller investigation will bring intrigue. The Trump/Pence administration will bring outrage.

But along the way we need to lay the groundwork for a massive electoral victory. And we have to start now. /2
We need people who will focus & share early information about races to watch, ways to volunteer and candidates to support.

The Democratic brand needs to be championed proactively...because it will be attacked relentlessly. /3

1. We are offered two distinctly different messages in response to the political actions and climate of the Trump era. Two fundamental philosophies that will shape the course of our country:

We Are Better Than This
vs.
It Doesn't Matter, We Won
2. One, an optimistic appeal to the integrity of the people of our country, offers hope for the future. The other hints at a slippery slope with no bottom. The end justifies the means no matter the cost. I find it doubtful this dark message is what Republicans teach their kids
3. There's no daylight between Trump and #GOP leaders who've have had 2+ years to decide who they are - those of character have already left the party. The rest have gladly molded themselves into Trump’s vision, fully embracing fear-mongering, nationalism, division and lies.

There’s been a lot of talk about the “civil war” between the moderate and far left within the Democratic Party.

The wonderful conversation I just had with Jake Sullivan on The Good Fight is one many reasons I don’t quite buy this.

Let me explain.

1/n slate.com/articles/podca…
Sullivan was an advisor to @JoeBiden, ran the Department of Policy Planning under @HillaryClinton, and then designed her campaign's domestic policy. On paper, he’s about as establishment Dem as they come.

And yet, he’s in favor of a very robust economic policy program.

2/n
The ideas Sullivan advocates include:

* A (kind of) jobs guarantee

* Much higher taxes on concentrated wealth

* Universal Medicare

* Dept-free lifelong learning

* Tough measures against monopolists

* and much, much more.

3/n

You have #betrayed this trust. You unfortunately chose the wrong side, and must realize that by now. #WeThePeople have identified you as a Domestic Enemy to this #Republic.
Exhibit 1 and 2
You have been found #colluding with the #DNC in a Strategy to manipulate #American Citizens and sway the opinions of #GOP #candidates. I have more exhibits and will provide them as needed.

One of the most important offices in any state is that of Secretary of State, especially in swing states like Ohio where SOS’s have turned off voting machine audit functions, fought to keep machines paperless, & purged voter rolls. Pls support @KathleenClyde for Ohio SOS! 1/
2/ Ohio’s current SOS, Republican John Husted , went out of his way to make sure voting machine audit functions were turned OFF in 2016!
3/ In 2004, Republican SOS Ken Blackwell tried to have Ohio buy paperless voting machines!

I feel like this is an episode of #RickandMorty, but we have to do a sequel to first #TwitterStorm now with 280 characters. I will be going through this #GOPRiot where they loot middle-America. So the thread begins here. 1/?
Not that the #GOP cares about #DACA or #undocumented families. But they use #SEC11022 to not allow undocumented parents to receive a tax credit for their children. These is cruel unjust and unAmerican. 2/?
#Sec11023 With the language to repeal the #JohnsonAmendment contained in the house amendment they have allowed an increase of cash contributions to #Charity as a means to funnel the money to #GOP candidates in a tax free fashion. This is not what Jesus would do or want. 3/\?
