Social Security faces a 22% benefit cut in 2032 unless Congress acts. The Senators elected this year will decide the fate of Social Security. We can avoid benefit cuts by voting for candidates who will make the rich pay their fair share.

Very few people study air-water gas exchange, which determines how quickly the ocean takes up atmospheric CO₂. But because of marine CO₂ removal, everyone is throwing the term "gas exchange" around. So here's everyone's chance to attend a gas exchange meeting to learn and share. www.gtws2027.se

Saturday, May 30, 2026 Trump Tower, NYC Impeach, Convict, Remove! On Saturday, Rise and Resist protested in front of Trump Tower and shut down traffic on 5th Ave for 1 hour! Trump is unhinged and unfit to serve. We demand that Congress face reality and remove Trump now!

The more they resist, the more we will insist. Release the files. Arrest the ‘Philes’.

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

I STAND WITH THE PROTESTERS If a detention facility can’t withstand public scrutiny, congressional oversight, and media attention, the problem isn’t the protesters. The problem is what’s happening inside. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

Delaney Hall's conditions would be illegal in any American prison yet ICE operates above the law. They serve people food infested with maggots, deny them access to medical care & legal council & the guards routinely beat the shit out of them despite not having committed a crime. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

Steyer: I have a strong anti-ICE platform. I think they are a criminal organization, and we have a very strong plan when it comes to prosecuting them. You don’t have to trust me. The head of ICE went online to say that my program is unfair to ICE agents, and I took that as a huge compliment.

Wow. That got awkward fast, even considering the participants.

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

The U.S. just had its worst year for international tourism since the pandemic and it wasn’t even close. While the rest of the world broke records in 2025, America was the only country out of 184 to see a drop in foreign visitor spending.

NOPE!!!!! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

#EpsteinFiles

We know he doesn't have long and we would really appreciate it if we could watch him squirm under oath to all his crimes and then watch him wither away and never come back. Release the Epstein files. Impeach, convict, and remove.

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

A win! Thank you for always making your voices heard. The House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote this afternoon, ending a 75-day shutdown the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The GOP caved. The bill funds DHS but includes no money for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.

🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump says we all must resolve our differences peacefully yet he considers half of America his enemies who need to be eradicated. He is the war monger calling for violence against anyone who disagrees with him. The violence in America comes from him and his supporters.

He honestly thinks we're stupid.

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...
