The GOP's bad budget bill will hit our hospitals like an earthquake. Insured or not, people still need care and our hospitals will provide it. But the costs of doing so will cripple the system. youtube.com/shorts/E219H...

My statement on Washington Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill.

ICE just arrested the Mayor of Newark after pushing and shoving peacefully assembled members of Congress outside of a detention center. ‼️‼️

For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

Trump says he’s reopening Alcatraz for prisoners.

Deranged Trump is now putting a 100% tariff on movies made outside the US.

👀💥 Q: What's a Legal Observer? 💥👀 A: Legal Observers protect 1st Amendment rights at protests, rallies, and demonstrations. They play a crucial role in monitoring law enforcement conduct and supporting the right to free speech. If this interests you, sign up for training with ACLU GA: bit.ly/4iOn3t3

Massive May Day pro-democracy protesters in Atlanta, Georgia (the US state) marched against the illegal Trump regime that's taken the US hostage. #3E #EndImpunity #MayDay

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

Thank you for the demonstration of leadership, Senator Booker and Rep. Jeffries. Being the minority party doesn’t make Dems powerless. More of this! @warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

Secretary Hegseth continues to demonstrate that he is not up to the task of leading our armed forces. Every day it becomes more clear that his leadership puts Georgia servicemembers at risk and threatens all of our safety. He must resign.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Pope Francis. As a longtime admirer of the Pope and his work to center the poor & marginalized, I was honored to meet him & pray with him last year. I join all those across the world mourning his death and celebrating his remarkable life.

Planned closure of federal center in Georgia triggers worries about ability to monitor water quality, reports @sdunlapgarec.bsky.social.

No surprise here. Ridiculous

The Florida State Shooter was hardcore #MAGA and thought things like "Rosa Parks was in the wrong and that black people were destroying his community"

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

Bless you, Senator!!

Tariffs drive Mack layoffs madness. #econsky

Senator Van Hollen has met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas has the latest.

@warnock.senate.gov , @ossoff.bsky.social We need to stop this!

Juan Carlos Lopez is an AMERICAN CITIZEN who lives in Georgia, y'all. He is our neighbor! First thing tomorrow morning, call both our senators (John Ossoff | 470-786-7800 & Raphael Warnock | 770-694-7828) AND your state rep. DEMAND they get AMERICAN CITIZEN Lopez released from ICE custody NOW!

On Abrego Garcia, Trump Is Lying on the Facts and Wrong on the Law newrepublic.com/article/1940... via @newrepublic.com

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for their decision not to turn the planes around on March 15. He orders them either to fix their mistake or identify who made those decisions (presumably for further sanctions).

Judge Boasberg on why he's launching criminal contempt hearings against the Trump admin: "The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders -- especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it."

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Work-in-progress pet portrait, for the king of all cats 😺

Do you feel it? Do you feel the momentum shift? The will of the people is strong. And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together. Resist. Persist. Standup. Speak out. Fight. We can do this. We WILL do this. We ARE doing it. And we will not stop.

Quick sketch of the Hands Off protest yesterday in Boston. Keep fighting, keep calling, keep protesting, keep speaking out! #handsoff

There is only ONE billionaire living able to motivate this many people to take to the streets. His name is Elon Musk.

Those pants are super hiked

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Pics from Hands off Macon Ga. #Meidastouch

Official APD estimates were 30k in Atlanta alone - Don't let them say we didn't show up!

Atlanta showed up to tell the Trump Musk administration #HandsOff @50501ga.bsky.social @indivisibleatl.bsky.social So inspirational to see the coalition of community orgs and most importantly people from all walks of life come together united to stand up for our rights, OUR democracy. #peoplepower

Chris Murphy's summary of the tariffs. I absolutely agree. Please read

In 72 days, Donold has taken 14 days off and spent $26 million of taxpayer money at his golf clubs.

Last week, a room full of Georgians watched HB 127–meant to expand teacher sick leave—become a ban on DEI. These Georgians (inc kids!) were denied a chance to testify against the dismissal of decades of progress in racial, gender, + LGBTQ+ equality. Tell GA Senate leadership to KILL THE BILL!

The FDA as we know it is gone

Yes! This is so damn good. We need warriors. Rise to the occasion Dems. If you can’t, get out of the way.
