There have been promising advancements in Alzheimer's diagnoses & treatments in recent years. But that progress will mean little if patients can't access or afford them. I joined my colleague Rep. Buchanan to author legislation that ensures access to screening tests that diagnose this disease early.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

a livestreamed execution is just a lynching

FUCK YES. This is the energy, morality, and courage that I expect from leaders. Unbelievably brave.

The workers who make Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are unionizing. The teams behind these famous games would join United Wizards of the Coast, a union established earlier this year by Magic: The Gathering Arena developers in partnership with the Communication Workers of America.

Nearly all UUP represented employees who were on payroll as of June 30 will see a 4.5% increase to base salary in today's payroll, retroactive to July 1 (12-month appointments) and Sept. 1 (10-month appointments). Read about the hard-fought union gains: uupinfo.org/contract/

English pod, assemble!

The UUP Contract has been ratified! The contract was approved by 97.7% of eligible voters who cast ballots. Thank you to all who voted. Special thanks to Chief Negotiator Bret Benjamin and the Negotiations Team for their work on this historic five-year agreement. uupinfo.org/communicatio...

Also, before I get fellow Leftists calling me a shitlib: I couldn't stand HRC and I voted for her. SCOTUS and the EPA were my biggest motivators. Also, if you're still calling people shitlibs in 2026, I struggle to take you seriously.

If we don't fight, we don't win. We have to work to hold everyone accountable to the law or the fascists will trample it.

This is incredible. Also. Fuck RFK Jr.

It is kinda darkly funny how transparently obvious it was that Vance was trying to set himself up as a great statesman and the moment he stepped into the arena for real he shit himself and went home.

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

Demand that your Members of Congress vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702 without significant reforms to protect us from the authoritarian Trump regime. Democrats must reject the warrantless mass surveillance of American citizens.

real long shot here but if you have any idea why melania is suddenly talking about epstein, reach me on signal at marisakabas.04 anonymity fully protected

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

The City of Pittsburgh just passed legislation banning cooperation with ICE. The vote was unanimous. 🎉🎉🎉

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Republicans are letting us teeter on the brink of nuclear war. Dems only plan is to beg the GOP to do the right thing for once. That deals woefully insufficient. youtu.be/gyxjOTIVSL8

and yet, by escaping gravity's pull, her father has become one of the least leashed freaks in history

Whenever someone says "there are no civilians in [country]," they are making an argument for genocide.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

Tell them: "You could be the American Stanislav Petrov"

The President of the United States is publicly threatening to commit genocide. For love of country, for the freedoms we cherish and for the values we hold dear, the House must immediately reconvene and vote to impeach Donald Trump. Read my full statement: tonko.house.gov/news/documen...

Yes, Congress is in recess. Yes, they should probably come back now. Yes, you can still call them while they're out. Call a local office! We have those numbers for you @ 5calls.org 🔥📞🔥

I called all three of mine and left voicemails. I've heard some offices have people answering their phones despite congressional recess. Feels like an exercise in futility but it's still worth doing because nihilism in the face of nuclear war is pathetic.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

This is similarly derelict of duty. I'm a normal citizen with very little power of this moment but Schumer is nominally the leader of an *opposition* to all of this. And if this is the most you can muster, if you are not really opposed or acting RN, what is the point of you?

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

Resurrecting (heh) some screenshot-worthy Easter past-posts from the other folks:

Pope Leo's Easter message: "Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!" www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

yep, this is a case of hegseth wanting a whites-only military bsky.app/profile/nanc...

Ms Pelicot is unbelievably brave--in the way Mamie Till was brave at her son's funeral--in shining light on truth. If you know a woman or are one, listen to this interview. Rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot's 'A Hymn to Life' chronicles resilience after abuse www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

these are exactly the stakes! embracing trump’s view would be embracing the cramped vision of freedom and belonging that we fought a civil war to banish to the ash heap of history

yes
