This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung.   His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.

It’s Election Day in Philly. I spoke to more than a dozen young people (21-32) in this line. Nearly every one (and every young woman) listed women’s rights or abortion access as the top issue motivating them to vote. Other issues listed were the climate, economy, and democracy.

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

This is huge.
PRESIDENT NYGREN ENDORSES HARRIS-WALZ TICKET Yá’atééh … Election Day is here! We need to ensure our voices are heard and our votes are counted tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5th. I want to share why I’m supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz—leaders who respect our culture and are committed to building a brighter future for all Native Nations. Vice President Harris, alongside President Biden, has achieved historic milestones for Tribal communities. Through the American Rescue Plan, we received $2 billion for essential resources—funds that have helped with infrastructure, housing, clean water, and high-speed internet across the Navajo Nation. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law added $13 billion for Tribal communities, including $123 million specifically for the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project. The Biden-Harris administration has made public safety a priority, establishing the “Not Invisible Act Commission” to address the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. Through the Violence Against Women Act, our jurisdiction over certain crimes on Tribal lands has expanded, providing better protections for our families. Also, Executive Order 14112 has reformed federal funding to prioritize Tribal decision-making, empowering our communities to shape our future. In healthcare, the Biden-Harris administration secured the first-ever advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service, with $8 billion planned for FY2025. This commitment ensures continuity in healthcare for our people—a promise finally fulfilled. Governor Walz has also championed Native communities in his own state and across the nation. As governor, he became the first to visit all 11 Tribal nations in Minnesota, establishing government-to-government relations and codifying Tribal consultation into law. He’s a proven ally who listens and respects our voices. He has prioritized public safety by establishing the first state-level office for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives, ensuring justice and protection for Native communities. And under his administration, Minnesota invested in preserving Native languages, strengthening cultural preservation and education for future generations—a commitment he will bring to the national stage. This is why I, as President of the Navajo Nation, and my wife, our First Lady Jasmine Blackwater-Nygren – former Arizona State Representative and an attorney – support the Harris/ Walz ticket. I believe they will help us reclaim our traditions, protect our sovereignty, and honor the sacrifices of our ancestors. Navajo Nation, let us make our voices heard this Tuesday, November 5th. Under Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, every Native American person will matter equally. Together as one nation, President Kamala Harris and Vice-President Walz will be thinking for the future of the Navajo Nation. #ElectionDay2024 #NavajoNation #BuuNygren #DinéVote #OurVoiceOurFuture #ThinkForTheFuture

WOW. This is Philadelphia right now. There is no end in sight for this line to see Kamala Harris tonight. Thousands of people are already waiting and she doesn’t speak for another 5 hours. There is so much joy. People are singing and dancing and having a blast. This is amazing.

👀 CNN on yet another Trump rally with low turnout: There are a lot of empty seats left in the arena. Trump has built his brand on turning out large rallies, but today in North Carolina AND Pennsylvania they have been noticeably empty.
