An image showing Rep. John Larson. Next to his photo are the words, "Rep. John Larson family filed articles of impeachment after the pressure of having a primary challenger." Under his photo are the words, "77-year-old House Dem facing younger primary challengers seeks to impeach Donald Trump. Larson charged Trump with war crimes and piracy over Venezeula military intervention and the naval blockade." Under Larson's photo is an image of CT-01 Courage Candidate Jillian Gilchrest. Next to her photo are the words, "That's courage" and the Courage for Democracy photo. She is saying, "I have committed to impeach from day one."

Primary.👏 Them.👏 All. 👏

@johnlarsonct.bsky.social did nothing until he got a primary challenger. Then suddenly? Articles of impeachment.

Make them fight for their job. That's when they grow a backbone.

CT-01 is heating up!

Support @jilchrest.bsky.social and our Courage Candidates everywhere.

Fabulous Meet & Greet in Newington today! It’s so nice getting to speak with people about their hopes for the 1st Congressional district and our country. #congressneedsasocialworker

A New Deal for Public Education | Jillian Gilchrest For Congress Public education is how America invests in its children — and it’s time government takes it seriously. Jillian is proposing a historic federal commitment.

Why do teachers, on average, earn 19% less than other college graduates in comparable fields? And, why do paraprofessionals make poverty wages? You cannot build a world-class public education system on the backs of an exploited workforce. #teacher #paraprofessional #publiceducation #teachers

RESULT: Analilia Mejia is heading to Congress.

The AP has promptly called the NJ11 election for Mejia, the left-wing advocate who won a tight primary earlier this year and just easily won the general election. Mejia will replace Mikie Sherrill, who of course is now governor.

This week is Black Maternal Health Week! Founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, this week aims to raise awareness, foster activism, and promote community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives, and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people. #BMHW26

On this Tax Day, let’s remember that in 1950 Congress raised the top corporate tax rate to 45%. This last year, more than 88 corporations paid no federal taxes. The U.S. can provide people with healthcare and living wages and childcare. We just choose not to. #taxday #economicjustice #taxfairness

Swalwell staffers in unsigned statement: ‘We’re horrified’ by accusations Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign is reeling from accusations of sexual misconduct.

“We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too. The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians.”

There is so much we can be doing to ensure those with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive safe services, free from abuse. #idd #ada #disabilities #disability

Trump says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and daycare: 'We’re fighting wars' Trump urged states to fund benefits programs instead because "we have to take care of one thing: military protection."

We pay into the government, the government should invest in us. This includes healthcare and childcare. Stop spending our tax dollars on a war with no plan, that no one wants.

Voters are tired of being told that bold change is impossible. Today, I’m announcing A New Deal for Public Education, my latest platform in my run for Congress! #publiceducation #childcare #teacher #paraprofessional #studentloandebt

“We need to keep beating that drum, because some people in this building feel like we checked the box last year,” she said at the March public hearing. “We did not. We did not at all. When people got a seven-cent raise, we didn't do our job.” #medicaid #workingpoor #healthcare #healthcareworkers
