Shame on the democrats who voted for this. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

There is a problem with this headline from NPR. “A report claims left-wing terrorism is rising. The data paints a complicated picture.” This lets Fox News use this to validate the left wing violence is on part with white wing violence. Which is false.

Every elected congressperson should be in Portland to show support.

Michele Morrow, the Republican candidate for North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction, is the politician who said former President Barack Obama deserves death by a firing squad. In a tweet from May 2020, she wrote, "I prefer a Pay Per View of him in front of the firing squad".

NO KING Northampton MA

Maybe one day journalists who speak truth will be honored not silenced. ABC’s Terry Moran dropped for calling Trump a world-class hater www.npr.org/2025/06/11/n...

Rumor has it Waze is being used to report Icy conditions. Any truth to this?

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

Can we stop using this phrase. “BREAKING NEWS”. It’s all breaking news.

Levette on DOJ hypocrite “It’s been clear since day one of this administration that we are not going to tolerate individuals who leaked to the mainstream media particularly when it comes to sensitive information,” she said Tuesday at a press briefing.”

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I think this is one of the most irresponsible headlines from @npr.org “The 'world’s coolest dictator' heads to the White House www.npr.org/2025/04/14/n...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Montana has just passed Indiginous People's Day! The sponsor—Senator Shane Morigeau—has been working on this for a long time. Glad to see bipartisan support for this wonderful bill!

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

It’s moments like this I still have hope republicans will wake up from their zombie state.

Capitulation to Trump must now be considered one of the deadly sins.

It’s the republicans in Congress who are responsible for the tyranny take over in our country now. Trump voters gave him the presidency, McConnell the courts and maga congress the third and final nail in the democratic casket.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

Republicans just blocked my resolution to reaffirm the 22nd and 12th Amendments and make clear that Donald Trump is not eligible for a third term. Here's my question. If Trump's only joking, then why block me?

Public schools change students’ lives every single day, but Donald Trump is trying to dismantle our public education system. I asked, and you shared. Here are a few stories about America’s incredible public school teachers.

DOGE is firing Social Security workers, closing offices, and pulling the plug on phone services, and it's hurting seniors like Ned. There’s nothing efficient about any of this — and it needs to stop.

Trump’s Liberation Day was really Obliteration Day. Trump is only concerned with his billionaire tax cuts, not American workers and families.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Putting Oz in charge of Medicare and Medicaid for millions of Americans is a grave mistake.

Note to Columbia University: This is how you do it. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The arrest and detention of Rumeysa Ozturk is deeply disturbing. The Trump admin is ripping students like Rumeysa out of their communities without due process. We will not stay silent. @pressley.house.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I led over 30 of our colleagues in demanding answers.

Let's be clear: Public media is a public good. It keeps our communities informed about local news, helps educate our kids, and ensures the public receives life-saving emergency alerts. Cutting federal funding for these stations would deal a serious blow to communities across the country.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Pete Hegseth is a liar. These are war plans. End of story. Hegseth is unfit for the job and should resign or be fired immediately.

If I was the Atlantic, would have demanded verbal apology from trump and sign statement agreeing to never target or seeking retribution www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Bondi “we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” What about gun violence in schools?

What’s inaccurate in this quote? ,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report. “Within the past few years, however, elected officials from across the political spectrum have raised the specter of open disregard for federal court rulings. These dangerous suggestions…”Hint attacking judges is one sided.

Every past democratic White House senior staff and Secretaries should be blasting the media with why trumps’s policies are breaking down democratic structures .

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

A shutdown would show you are standing up to the GOP!!!You need to step down as leader. You caved in to Trump and Musk. People were begging Dems to stand up to them and you didn’t.

You are SO FUCKING WRONG. And too chicken to fight for us. Do you not understand the growing fury?

Yeah, tired of the feckless Dems. I lost my job at SSA due to DOGE.

Allowing this to go through makes you all look weak and pathetic! I have been a staunch democrat all my life and I am telling you your party wants YOU to fight this amd let the Rebublicans own the shutdown because they don't have the votes on their own!!!!!

And if they wanted it they could just have a few Republican senators vote no, Chucks argument makes no sense

That's not the argument you think it is. He's already got carte blanche because no one has been standing up to stop him. Doing this is the internal equivalent of a policy of appeasement.
