Senator Mark Kelly Nails It........

Rep AOC (D-NY) knows that we can’t leave the South behind we are doing important work to take back our state legislatures and to get Democratic judges elected. Tell your friends the further down the ballot you go the closer that politician is to affecting your personal life.🗳️🗳️

New NJ law criminalizes interference with trans healthcare share.google/xT0wTeUXv9Bf... Some good news!

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

In an opinion piece published in The WSJ, GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she will vote against the Trump-backed SAVE America Act: “As written, the SAVE America Act…would impose costly new barriers and prevent some, perhaps many, from voting, while also creating chaos before the November elections.”

What would the Founding Fathers think about Trump? The Declaration of Independence gives us an idea. Watch.

Thinking about the meaning of life…

Leader Jeffries (D-NY) lays out the plan to deal with SCOTUS reform, but once again reminds us that we need to win majorities in both chambers so that we control the gavel. We have to vote in numbers too big to rig in November and make Hakeem the next Speaker of the House. LFG‼️

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

My feelings aren't mixed at all actually

Pride and Community are so important. Let us all support each other! cdcooperphd.substack.com/p/pride-and-...

"Stopping Trump is a short term solution. The long-term solution - and it will be more difficult - is fixing the educational system that has created so many people ignorant enough to vote for Trump." Andy Borowitz

Trump voters trying to meme about New England is like me describing soil composition on a planet in the habitable zone of its solar system 967 light years away

Trump never has money for healthcare or VA staff or anything to actually make Americans’ lives better — but somehow found $1.8 billion to reward his allies with your tax dollars. That's corruption, plain and simple.

Gender is not an either/or concept. Gender is not binary, it is a spectrum -- a continuum -- no matter how much Trump and his executive orders insist that it is. open.substack.com/pub/cdcooper...

Do your really grasp how big a Trillion is? This chart shows how long it would take to make $1 Trillion at $1 per second. In comparison if you are making $15 hour for 8 hours a day then you are getting paid 0.42 cents per second. NOT EVEN A PENNY A SECOND! #trump #trillion #ballroom

Metronomes started randomly synchronize after a short period of time as they influence each other through the side-to-side motion of their shared base. 📽: UCLA Physics & Astronomy

The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

Oh, bless your little heart. People don't think the Supreme Court is comprised of "political actors" because it makes "unpopular" decisions. They think SCOTUS is composed of "political actors" because it decides cases along predictable political lines & makes decisions that are popular with Trump.

Illness is not a moral failure. Medical debt is not a sign of poor character. But choosing war over healthcare — cutting Medicaid while Americans go broke getting sick? That IS a failure. A moral one. #HealthcareNotWarfare

May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

As true as ever.

Washington politicians are leaving taxpayers on the hook for a skyrocketing national debt. For every tax dollar collected, this Administration spends $1.33. Trump's tax cuts for billionaires and reckless wars are going to hurt this generation and the next.

Can we try Matriarchy Now!

I was reminded this morning of something IBM noted in 1978: "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision."

When a Black man became president, it was an assault on Republicans white privilege that they've been outraged about ever since and are doing everything in their power to make sure never happens again. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Why did only 35 Senators send this letter? Every Democrat should have signed! #SheShed
