She’s right again, you know. She usually is.

64 percent.

They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Fyi, scott walker has always been and will probably always be a complete douche bag. The fact that he is afforded a platform is truly appalling.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

By firing IRS auditors who went after wealthy tax cheats, Elon Musk's DOGE could cost up to $323 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years. It was never about being efficient or effective. www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-dog...

Trump and Republicans in Congress want to make the the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Dr. Roberson, a Navy veteran, has been fighting to show a new path forward for Veterans and people who are experiencing substance abuse. Organizations like hers would be devastated if Donald Trump moves forward with his cuts. She's fighting for her community. #TheRealCost youtu.be/iswSR8yxzOI

A mother caring for her disabled adult daughter. A young woman turning her life around with an opioid treatment program. These are just some of the Americans who would lose health care if Republicans pass their proposed budget gutting Medicaid. abc7.com/post/republi...

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

There are lessons to be learned from our shared history. Right now, one is ringing loudest for me: Cowardice can be contagious, but so can courage. It’s time for us to step up and be courageous.

The Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history. Stop this bill.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Trump declared May as Mental Health Awareness Month while also: ✖️cutting $1 billion in school mental health grants ✖️canceling $1 billion from SAMHSA ✖️seeking cuts to Medicaid which would strip mental health care coverage from millions The hypocrisy is astounding.

Deeply alarmed by ICE detaining and interrogating a group of teachers on Maui. Rather than making our communities safer, Trump is focused solely on sowing chaos and instilling fear in vulnerable communities.

Trump is cutting $1 billion in grants that were allocated after the deadly 2022 Uvalde shooting to hire mental health workers in schools. Democrats and Republicans approved this funding to increase mental health services in schools and keep kids safe. This will cost lives.

When I'm feeling down I think of him and his wife 😢

THREAD: They’re not trying to win elections. They’re trying to rig them before you even show up. Let’s talk about how voter suppression is evolving in the Trump era — and how to fight like hell to stop it. (1/)

Don’t tune out. If generations of Americans before us had tuned out, where would our country be? youtu.be/JaEkWgzM1QA

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Men at Bluebonnet Detention Facility (immigration prison) in Anson, TX form an S.O.S. with their bodies to signal to a drone overhead. This is the facility from which the Trump Administration appeared ready to fly another planeful of men to El Salvador last weekend www.reuters.com/pictures/sos...

You don't have to agree with his (or any) religion to recognize his wisdom and heart. RIP

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

So not surprised 😳

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

This is what the courts (and the country) are dealing with -- equal parts juvenile, callous, and lawless.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Nervous about Trump, international tourists scrap their U.S. travel plans

BREAKING: They waited until everyone was asleep to sneak this in—cuts to museums, scholars, homelessness programs… and The Minority Business Development Agency. They aren’t trimming fat; they’re gutting the core of opportunity and history. Pay attention.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

From the halls of Congress to the communities of Southern Arizona, America mourns the painful loss of Congressman Raúl Grijalva, a passionate and undaunted servant of the people. Sending love and strength to his family. May his memory be a blessing to us all.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

The Resistance is strong! #Resist
