Loved catching up with my friend @oliviajulianna.bsky.social about Illinois banning AI therapy bots, and the courage of our Texas democratic state reps fighting for democracy! Watch the full interview: oliviajulianna.substack.com/p/illinoiss-...
And just so we’re clear— Texas Democrats begged Republicans for weeks to pass flood relief but they refused and instead spent the entire special session focused on redistricting. There’s plenty of camera footage and testimony to prove that you gutless liars.
What do you think? 👇🏼
Texas Republicans were given directions by their daddy Trump to go draw 5 Democrats out of power before the midterms because they’re too chicken shit to actually compete. Every single Democratic governor should do the same. Draw Republicans out of Congressional power. No mercy.
Greg Abbott wants to redistrict Texas to draw Democrats out of power. There’s only one Democratic governor who has the courage to be just as scheming.
I ran Sacramento County's safety net clinic system before entering Congress. I've seen what happens when patients can't access the care they need. That's why I'm worried about Donald Trump's Big Ugly Bill becoming law.
I’m starting to think the kind of charming cutthroat Republican hatred Gavin Newsom has to offer is the right way forward. I want a Democrat that dreams about creative ways to screw them over.
Hillary Clinton wasn’t mean enough when she called y’all deplorable.
We got Doctors in Congress who represent blue states actively concerned about people living in red states because of how bad the budget bill is. We are so cooked.
Donald Trump's "Big Ugly Bill" will take health care away from millions of Americans. As a doctor, I know just how devastating the ripple effects of this bill will be — from shuttered rural hospitals to seniors losing the nursing home care they rely on.
Two Democrats, raised by Republicans. Here’s my special Father’s Day piece where @slotkin.senate.gov and I reflect on our upbringing (and how much we love our dads!) oliviajulianna.substack.com/p/two-democr...
Over 25,000 people have marched in No Kings Protests in Texas and the marches *haven’t even started* in Austin or San Antonio. 25,000 in Houston and Dallas alone.
I’ve made *one* negative comment. You seem overly triggered.
I haven’t finished college yet either and have taken time off, does that make me a quitting idiot? These are the kinds of narratives that turn people off.
People keep makin fun of Charlie Kirk for being a “community college drop out” and it’s being phrased in a very smug elitist way every time I see it.
Hey liberals— stop using community college as some kind of gotcha. Community and junior college is a serious educational pathway hundreds of thousands of working class people use to further their education, myself included. Stop being elitist.
This is our answer: Secure the Border, Protect the Dream. open.substack.com/pub/oliviaju...
The same people who supported the American flag being lowered to raise a MAGA one suddenly care about the optics of flags at protests.
Terry is just speaking the truth. ABC suspending him is more anticipatory obedience, like their pre-inaugural settlement of Trump's case. Terry if you need a lawyer....
Idk what his plans are but they don’t involve me!
Well I’m free tomorrow night— what about yall???

President Biden has my eternal respect and heartfelt gratitude. The few moments I spent with him—however brief—left a lasting impact that I will carry throughout my life.
How many of you could have spent your time going after the felon who’s been deporting kids with cancer instead of beating up on the former President who has an aggressive form of cancer himself? Absolutely sick. I will never trust you or your leadership again.
The influencer primary is already underway. Both parties want the creators—but only one is building power, not just content. @oliviajulianna.bsky.social lays out the new digital democratic battleground.

I remember when Texas passed SB4 in 2023, people said I was being hysterical for saying citizens and legal residents would be forcibly removed from the country. That I was crazy for saying it was a test case. I absolutely fucking hate that I was right.
Greg Abbott’s stalling the TX-18 election to help Trump’s agenda—keeping a safe Dem seat empty for 7 months. @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social isn’t just another name on a ballot—he’s the next-gen fighter. He’s calling Abbott out and ready to raise hell in Congress for people the GOP tries to silence.
I hope you all tune in to watch!!!!
🧵 When we have the Project 2025 Republicans making lifesaving healthcare inaccessible to women, and voting increasingly difficult for everyone (hello, SAVE Act!), we need Democrats with A SPINE in Congress like Isaiah Martin. Listen to him talk about how in Houston, he… youtu.be/RmrYOc-JgyY?...
This is my America.
Huge shoutout to the young men from the University of Houston who volunteered with the @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social campaign today—then hit the road right after the rainy protest to make it to the game in San Antonio!🐾🏀🙏🏻 Youth voices matter, and we’re already putting in the work!
“Trump doesn’t understand tariffs”? He does. That’s why North Korea and Russia aren’t on the list. He’s showing off for the dictators he admires—no matter how much it hurts Americans.
I’m 26 years old and I’m running for Congress in an open seat special election!! We need new energy! I’ll make sure we’re one seat closer flipping the house so we can be a BRICK WALL to Trump’s anti-America agenda. Get one of our mugs so we can save our country and drink MAGA’s tears together!
It’s so obvious that Greg Abbott and the Repubs are terrified of calling the special election to fill my district’s vacancy in Congress. Cute. They should be afraid! They know what’s coming. I’m going to DC to be a brick wall to this pathetic “President’s” anti-America agenda! So get ready, Greg!

Economic uncertainty, shifting gender roles, and a crisis of purpose have left young men vulnerable to far-right "alpha-male" influencers. @oliviajulianna.bsky.social explores the new era of online extremism, how we got here & how to change course.
Just talked to a guy and he goes “wow, you’re a candidate and you’re calling me?” Crazy to see how many ppl never had a candidate call them directly before. Well, I want to do things differently and EARN your support! I’m not entitled to anything. We’ve gotta build this movement person by person!
Just watching my favorite congressional candidate @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social on the biggest democratic news network in the country @meidastouch.com! 💖 Let’s go Isaiah!
WE WON! PI granted in substantial part in our @sddaction.bsky.social appointments clause case re USAID
LETS F*CKING GO @meidastouch.com
Why are we shocked the White House is ignoring court orders? Trump broke his gag order over 10 times in the hush money case. Who would’ve guessed a felon doesn’t care about the law?
Being a young Democrat isn’t enough—I have to prove that I’m ready to fight. I believe in bold leadership, real change, and putting people before politics. I’m not entitled to your support—I have to earn it. Here’s what I stand for ⬇️
Congress is broken because too many people in power are comfortable doing nothing. I’m running for Congress to stand for YOU instead of the few. We need new people in office that fight for you, not just their re-election.
You want to know what I stand for? Shred medical debt. Buzzsaw tariffs. Make Republicans keep their hands off our stuff—Medicare, Social Security, and our freedoms. Send me to Congress, and I’ll fight for you.
Isaiah Martin is THEE best of the best. I know him and I’m so proud to call him a friend. Everything about him is truly authentic - his words, his handshake, his compassion, THAT SMILE! Please follow @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social. Donate and volunteer if you can. I’m all in - join me! LFG Texas!
Republicans can talk all they want about how “safe” their House majority is. I’ll keep talking to voters, flipping minds, and proving them wrong.
Let’s go, Isaiah! We need fresh voices and real fighters in Congress. 🔥
We need more Democrats with this energy-- Democrats that have a spine! Let's send a message: we're ready to fight back.
My name is Isaiah Martin and I’m running for Congress. We can’t solve today’s problems with yesterday’s politics. Repost and follow if you’re ready to send Donald Trump a message that Democrats are ready to FIGHT BACK!
Wildfires and measles are spreading across TX, meanwhile: Gov. Greg Abbott backs the F.U.R.R.I.E.S. Act, banning animal accessories and behaviors like meowing in schools, with exceptions for events like Halloween, performances, and mascots.

After the 2022 midterms, Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, and Steny Hoyer all stepped back from leadership positions to make way for a new generation. It’s time that Chuck Schumer does the same.
Never been prouder to work with Norm Eisen at The Contrarian 💙
CNN: Senator Michael Bennet erupted in a meeting that Senate Democrats had "No strategy, no plan, and no message on this spending bill" It is becoming more and more apparent that Schumer was banking on Republicans failing to pass a CR through the House. Jefferies did his job-- Schumer didn't.
It’s time for Chuck Schumer to pass the torch.
It’s always the Democrats who represent the wealthiest states and districts because their constituents are the ones least at risk of suffering. Come down to Texas. I’d be happy to show you what our government does to people here in my own backyard.
Gavin Newsom is acting like best buds with Charlie Kirk & Steve Bannon, and Gillibrand is supposedly leading the charge to let the Medicaid cuts roll through. What the hell is going on with blue state Democrats? Starting to DEEPLY understand why we lost so many house seats!
Any Democrat that votes to break this filibuster should be shamed so vigorously they don’t want to step foot inside the Capitol building ever again. Do not be weak. Do not be cowards. This is exactly the time to fight back. HOLD THE LINE.
Enough with the decency. Republicans have the football. Let them do what they do best— fail to govern. Stop giving them coverage and excuses to be bad at their jobs. Talking to you Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman!
What are Democrats doing? 21 Democratic AGs are suing Trump for firing 1,000+ Dept. of Education employees. The mass firing is part of his plan to abolish the DOE. The suit argues these cuts would delay “nearly every aspect” of K-12 education in their states.
Chris Pappas, possibly New Hampshire’s next U.S. Senator, is also the congressman who overwhelmingly defeated Trump’s Press Secretary when she ran for Congress. She lost bigly.
Gary Peters, Tina Smith, and Jeanne Shaheen retiring is not selfish or cowardly— it is exactly what leaders would do. By retiring in a midterm cycle which is undoubtedly going to favor Democrats, they’re making way for a new generation of leadership. Congratulations to them all
This is how I talked about my parents at church before they got divorced.
Harry Styles is close to securing a residency in Las Vegas and I’m gonna say it now— if you’re MAGA, STAY YO ASS AT HOME!
MAGA has gone so far right they’re turning on the Justice who used “supply and demand” to justify banning abortion.
What does the Censure of Al Green mean? And why did 10 Democrats vote for it? open.substack.com/pub/oliviaju...
If you’re a frontliner who is representing an R+3-5 district, I understand why you took the vote. If you’re in a D+5-20 and you did it? Get out of my face.
MTG gets to scream like a banshee at President Biden and Brandon Gill can call for Ilhan Omar to be deported but Al Green standing up and saying “you have no mandate to cut Medicaid” is where Republicans draw the line? GTFO.
Adam Schiff is bringing a California fire captain to the SOTU. Elissa Slotkin is bringing a marine veteran who was fired from the VA because of DOGE. Chuck Schumer is bringing cancer survivors who relied on Medicaid. Speaker Mike Johnson’s guest? Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.
I attended the State of the Union in 2023 and I sat next to New York Mayor Eric Adams and I was the only person in our section who refused to address him or look him in the eye. I stand by that decision and it looks like It was the right one more and more each day.
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS? (everyone could have predicted this)
hey, @washingtonpost.com didn't you get the memo? maybe run a correction and include an ad for @contrariannews.org ???
Trump and JD Vance attacking President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office sends a clear message to the world: America is one election away from abandoning our allies. The damage to our global standing could be irreversible.
VP Vance to President Zelenskyy: Have you said thank you once?
Absolutely brutal @schiff.senate.gov
Andrew Tate going straight to Florida once again proves that the state is full of despicable swamp creatures
I could think of a couple other names to call Elon Musk… can you?
First confirmed measles death in 10 years, 880 billion in Medicaid cuts, and tens of thousands of government workers losing their jobs. But hey— we got the Gulf of America!
NOW THATS A DEMOCRAT WIN!
