What do these corporations all have in common? -SpaceX -Palantir -RTX -Northrop Grumman -Microsoft -Nvidia They are all corporations whose stock Trump just purchased — and who do business with the Trump administration. We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

The SAVE Act threatens to disenfranchise millions of women. Because 80%+ of women change their names when they marry, current IDs won’t match birth certificates. Strict proof-of-citizenship rules create a massive barrier to voting. Tell your MOCs to reject it!

Excellent medical care that this same senator spent his career denying to others.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, 84, has been hospitalized. His senior adviser David Popp says he is receiving “excellent care.”

Sadly this morning, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects roughly 45 million acres of national forest land.

Election officials conducted recounts in 2020 in multiple states. Courts reviewed over 60 cases. Trump's own attorney general & cybersecurity director confirmed the results. All reached the conclusion -Biden won. Every recount confirmed defending that truth means protecting democracy now. #Pinks

Colonists needed a way to communicate during the American Revolution, so the Post Office was created. It proved so vital it was written into the Constitution. Voting by mail is how our first elections were held. Trump making it harder to vote by mail is fascism. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

48 years old. Never uninsured until now. That’s someone’s parent, neighbor, coworker. Living in the richest country on Earth, terrified to get sick. Mexico is covering 130 million people. Canada has done it for years. Republicans keep funding wars instead of our own people. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Elon Musk’s 14 children have 4 different mothers. Those mothers *have* to nurture those children since those kids have a selfish and obnoxious father like Musk—who won't even spend time with them, when not disowning or feuding with them online. Happy Mother's Day indeed.

All Trump had to do was nothing, and he'd be crowing about his amazing economy right now. Almost no way to unfuck it now.

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

Louisiana is going to eliminate 2 Black voting districts. Tennessee plans to get rid of their 1 Black district. Tell me again how racism is dead, especially in the South. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

Republicans: “The debt is stealing money from our kids!” Also Republicans: “Let’s spend $400,000,000 on a ballroom and $1.5 Trillion on the military and let Trump win a $10 Billion lawsuit to pocket billions just for funsies”

I just want to point out that the WHCD took place in a ballroom. Holding it in a different ballroom wouldn’t make it safer. The administration chose not to designate the WHCD as a “National Special Security Event.” That’s the difference.

Donald Trump acquired the Eastern Airlines Shuttle in 1989 with $365 million in loans. By 1990, the airline had already defaulted on its debt and was returned to creditors. Spirit Airlines, you’re in good hands.

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine: "A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files. Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

We’re worse off than we were under Obama’s deal. Period. Trump blew up the 2015 agreement in 2018, and everything went backward. Under that deal, Iran’s enrichment was capped at 3.67%. Since it was canceled the deal, estimates are that Iran got it up to 60%. Just a step away from weapons-grade.
