Racism lives on! This country will never heal when it can disparage people, steal power in our government and NOW without consequences! Blue states must move stratregically to confront and pushback on rascism.
It’s very telling that the collective response from GA Republicans after the SCOTUS decision to weaken Section II of the VRA was essentially “Yay! We just got the green light to disenfranchise black voters! Call a special session!”

Don’t take the bait! We will always need clean energy!
In a new attack on clean energy and abuse of taxpayer dollars, the Trump administration will pay TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion to cancel two offshore wind projects that would have powered 1.3 million homes in New Jersey and North Carolina. https://ampr.gs/4s1vNAv
The SEC is either complicit with a MAGA agenda or cut off at the knees by Trump. Any enforcement data the agency is keeping will be marginalized and severely restricted or outright eliminated so the public cannot benefit from SEC’s abilities restrict investors or other scams brewing.
The SEC’s enforcement director quit after reported “internal disagreement” about holding Trump’s political allies accountable. The agency still hasn’t released last year’s enforcement data. Chair Atkins must answer: is the SEC enforcing the law or bowing to a corrupt President?

The memo my staff obtained and made public helped expose the sham justification behind the Trump administration's cruel plan to deport hundreds of kids to Guatemala. I'll continue to working to hold this administration accountable at every turn.

Sadly, we are not learning because we are now back to unknown dangerous territory and I fear a lot of Americans will be killed!
On @facethenation.bsky.social with Rep. Massie, I asked what have we achieved? The strikes put our troops at risk & create a generation of hate. Can this country learn? We keep voting for a president who says we’re not going to war & then they get pushed into war by the Beltway.
This is factually true, as mental illness soars in our prisons. It’s not just the prisoners that are mentally affect, but also the prison workers! America is failing.
Prison creates, worsens, & perpetuates symptoms of mental illness. For the incarcerated masses dealing with mental health issues, all we can really do is turn to one another for guidance, writes Derek R. Trumbo, Sr. in his ‘Never eat the candy.’ prismreports.org/2025/06/17/m...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s recent decision to hand over the personal information of millions of Medicaid enrollees to ICE is a disgraceful abuse of power and a direct assault on immigrant families. apnews.com/article/medi...

Disgusting and horrific. You will never break the spirit of New Yorkers, and you will never intimidate us. #AbolishICE #FreeBradLander
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

GOP proposed health care cuts will shutter ERs, maternity wards, and mental health care across America—especially in rural areas. Today, I warned Republicans: these aren’t just numbers—they’re lives. We must stop these cuts before it’s too late. www.cbsnews.com/news/medicai...

The U. S. Senate needs to work to better the lives of all Americans but no such deal is in The Big Beautiful bill nor is the Emoluments clause prevent his enrichment!
The Senate should update its stablecoin bill to expressly outlaw the type of emoluments-clause violation that the president is committing with $TRUMP.

❌ Luxury planes for Trump, tax breaks for billionaires, massive cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, food assistance for you. ❌ All-out corruption. ❌ Violates Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. ❌ National security risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
PROTEST TRUMP’S DISPECABLE DISPLAY OF CRONYISM, SELLING OUT THE PUBLIC FOR HIS OWN ENRICHMENT, IMPERIALISTIC AUTHORITARIAN, HE IS NO KING, VIOLATION OF THE IMPOUNDMENT ACT. No U.S. President should be allowed to accept gifts from a foreign country…should be impeachable! RESIST!
President Trump is accepting a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar while he drives up prices for Americans and kicks 13 million people off of their health care “This isn't America first.” “This is Trump first.” —Senator Chris Murphy
