Just posting my post-vaccine selfie. Be sure to protect yourself from flu and covid! This will trigger someone in the comments in 3…2…1…

We are NOT all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm. Some are safe in their yachts. Some are drowning in canoes. Be kind and help when you can, especially as we approach Thanksgiving.

*edit: in a century* In 1889, a man named Hugh Grant won an election for NY mayor at an age of 31.

The largest city in our nation will soon have its youngest mayor in history with the election of 34 year old Zohran Mamdani. A testament to the power of our vote and the power of the people!

Congratulations to my friend and fellow member of the House Armed Services Committee. Mikie Sherrill will win her race to become the next Governor of New Jersey. 🇺🇸

You only get one answer.

My number one focus is reopening the government and lowering the cost of life for my neighbors.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

The government is shut down. Millions of families could start going hungry next week. Our troops aren’t getting paid. Health care is skyrocketing. Farmers are getting crushed by the president’s trade war. And the president’s main priority is building a ballroom at the White House? Unbelievable.

Let’s talk about why #NoKings is so important. Also, let’s go over some ways to make the day as meaningful as possible. #NoKingsDay

We need that to beat the Republicans in our battleground districts. So important for us to get the majority next year.

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialOct 16(source)

Million dollar milestone! Many thanks to 800 of my neighbors in #IL17 who’ve contributed an average of $42. I’ll never stop fighting for real people. And while I’m at it, I’ll fight anyone who thinks it’s okay to enrich billionaires while screwing with working people in this country. LFG!!!

On I-66 EB on my way to the Capitol from Dulles yesterday. If I wasn’t in a time crunch, I was going to stop and shake their hands!

Because he’s worried about crowd size. If Americans don’t rise up to use our first amendment rights, what will we do when we don’t have them?

Eric Sorensen@ericsorensen.bsky.socialOct 15(source)

Billions of people on that other social media are being duped by lies and propaganda. Truth is, Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House and they alone need a bipartisan solution to move forward. Thought they were gonna lower costs on day one?

While the Trump administration amps up bully tactics and tries to figure out how to bail out farmers, we wouldn’t need any of it if we had good immigration and farm policy. Some excellent journalism from ABC News helps people understand.
