Chag Sameach! Happy Passover to all who celebrate!
Chag Sameach! Tenth Dems wishes a Happy Passover to all who celebrate, here in the 10th District and around the world.
It's intolerable that we're constantly awaiting updates from the mad king on whether we're going to war, whether we'll remain at war, what appropriations will be made or cut, etc. THAT'S NOT HOW THE CONSTITUTION WORKS. None of these decisions are meant to be made by 1 person. And for good reason.
People who question the effectiveness of doing something never seem to worry as much about the result of doing nothing.
Come join us!
The performance from The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe never fails to disappoint. And it's always fun to spend time with like-minded Democrats. Don't miss out! Tickets: tenthdems.org/capitolfools
Hope you can join us for the show, dinner, or both!

Tenth Dems wishes Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr as Ramadan comes to an end.

James Talarico tonight:
"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."
