🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child. THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals. Dead children. And they do. not. care.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

The GOP’s SAVE Act is a direct attack on married women. If your birth certificate doesn’t match your married name, registering to vote could become a bureaucratic nightmare. 69 million women are at risk of being silenced—not by accident, but by design. #HandsOffHerVote @anitamd.bsky.social

Elon Musk takes $8 million a day from the federal government—your tax dollars—while doing zero philanthropic work. No giving back to society. FOCUS: gutting jobs in the most ruthless way possible. Hoarding wealth, boosting Nazis, and leaving folks terrified about their future.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Democratic leadership must follow the advice below in order to win back the narrative. Trump & his lapdogs do this daily without real pushback. The new strategy will take a concerted effort, but our democracy & values are on the line. Our communication channels must be elevated before it's too late!

Yeah they are, and if you don't start f***ing doing something about it, were going to lose our democracy, and it's going to be on YOUR watch. Try this:

Imagine dropping out of school because MAGA decided the rich needed more money. Trump & Musk are about to make major cuts to the Department of Education & student aid to fund huge tax cuts for their greedy billionaire buddies. Tell MAGA: don't defund public schools! Call Congress at 202-224-3121

Whether you are a Democrat, Independent, or Republican, no WOMAN should ever vote for this bill. Democrats must go on offense to defeat this bill.

The Save Act will place unnecessary burdens on married American WOMEN who have changed their name. Making it harder to vote. It passed last year but was deferred when the senate was in control by the Dems. If your husband or boyfriend is telling you that you’re overreacting, they ain’t the one.

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Trump pardoned 23 people today who were convicted of violating the FACE Act. Trump claims Christians were being targeted. They were not just peacefully protesting. They were blocking entrances to healthcare clinics. This just gives "pro-lifers" a license to continue their egregious behavior.

Trump rolled back the effort to lower Medicare, Medicaid drug costs. Trump’s Make Drug Prices High Again executive order rescinded the Biden-Harris order to lower drug costs — to cap the copayment for generic medications at $2 for Medicare beneficiaries. www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/tr...

President Biden, laid it down: - 18 year term limit for SCOTUS - No stock trading for Congress - No immunity for Presidents for crimes they commit in office, because that's bullshit THAT PART! 🔥🔥🔥

Democrats see people experiencing a disaster as an opportunity to help, whereas Republicans see it as an opportunity for extortion.

Ronny Jackson on federal disaster relief to CA: "It's gonna have to be in conjunction with some reforms that CA hasn't been willing to make on the way they regulate their water and things of that nature...they wasted their taxpayer dollars on all kinds of crazy woke agenda items"

🔥 WATCH: “TEACHERS ARE NOT IGNORANT. THEY ARE OFFENDED.” A Knox Schools board member rips @GovBillLee for trying to bribe teachers with $2,000 each to get his private school voucher scam passed — even when the state’s own data shows they don’t work. Pretty gross, Guv.

Here it is: the confirmation hearings schedule we’ve been waiting for. The common thread… Trump’s nominees prioritize loyalty over qualifications. They’re here to gut agencies, undermine institutions, and impose extreme policies. 🧵

Stocks surged more than 24 percent in 2024, even as Americans fretted over the economy. Of course, you’d never know that from the media coverage during the months leading up to the election.
