Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

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.

Walz: "I wouldn't do those town halls if I were them either because they have to defend cutting Medicare, cutting Medicaid, hurting their local public school, fighting a trade war with Canada. Just the nonsense, and defending President Musk."

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

They want to turn our social security fund into their exit liquidity. Instead of saving for the future they want us to gamble for it.

You know Trump is lying when his lips are moving.

Folks, #Trump is lying. He just said his plan calls for “no tax on tips, OT, or Social Security.” But the Tax Bill the House GOP just passed has absolutely none of this. Zero. Nada. Nothing. But it does have trillions in new tax cuts for billionaires. #TrumpSpeech #SOTU

SCOTUS just weakened the Clean Water Act’s limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water in a 5-4 ruling. Meanwhile Trump's guest, a 13-year-old cancer survivor named DJ, got cancer from a chemical he was exposed to as a child. I'm sure the two are entirely unconnected. smh #SOTU

Hello Bluesky! I'm joining this platform because now more than ever, the American people need to be informed about what's going on. Chaos is up, corruption is up, and costs are up — and I spoke on The View about how Democrats are standing up for the American people.

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control. Why is this not already happening?”

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional. In Illinois, we follow the law. This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
