Public service should be a chapter in someone’s career, not a permanent throne passed from one powerful bigot to the next. Two elected senators in more than 70 years is unacceptable. Term limits now.

Many of you are asking how you can help my work. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Vivek Ramaswamy is a shameless scammer. While he has spent his entire campaign attacking Dr. Acton and Gov. DeWine for their response to the pandemic, it turns out Vivek himself—a biotech billionaire— 👉🏼 made millions on the COVID vaccine 1/

Trump bans artificial intelligence company Anthropic from doing business with US Government because they refused to allow him to use their AI for mass domestic surveillance of Americans. What was Trump planning to do?! www.cnbc.com/2026/02/27/t...

I didn't know this. Did you?

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations. But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips. No compromise.

Given DOGE’s f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the “SAVE America Act” aims to compel states to purge voters via SSA’s Number Verification system & DHS’s SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system. I wish some election security experts would look at this & talk me down.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Breaking MS NOW: Aides to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Attorney's office and FBI agents in Minnesota to shut down the civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Maria Farmer Drops BOMBSHELL On LESLIE WEXNER & THE EPSTEIN NETWORK – Charlie Kirk Knew TOO 😤 Maria Farmer – the original Epstein whistleblower who exposed the horrors – just went live with a must-hear message: Leslie Wexner MUST be held accountable. Release ALL CIA and State Department files

@khanna.house.gov Can you please subpoena Leslie Wexner, former CEO of L Brands, whose money was managed by #Epstien? The victims and the world deserve to know more.

Why have so many corporations donated to Trump’s White House ballroom project? Could it be because many of them have lucrative government contracts? Or because they have mergers and other regulatory business before Trump? I’m sure they just thought a ballroom sounded nice…

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

@marcelias.bsky.social and @davidpepperoh.bsky.social can #Ohiovoters sue regarding the new gerrymandered Congressional maps?https://www.citybeat.com/news/both-parties-get-heat-for-ohios-new-congressional-district-map-as-citizens-look-to-future-fights/

Solitary confinement is inhumane and part of a larger pattern of systemic abuse against people in ICE detention — this torturous practice must end.

NEW: The Trump administration surpassed 1,000 agreements with local police departments to effectively deputize their officers to act as ICE agents. This program, known as 287(g), makes our communities less safe, encourages racial profiling, and drains our resources.

Sending military troops to police civilians undermines public trust, puts soldiers in legal and ethical jeopardy, and puts all of us at risk. If you’ve ever served in the military, join us and @commondefense.bsky.social to send a message to the Defense Department: No troops in our communities.

UNDERREPORTED! Last week, we had the biggest hack of all time: 16 BILLION usernames and passwords were put out on the dark web for hackers, thieves & foreign governments to access. WATCH and SHARE this rundown with your networks! 7 tips for how to protect yourselves post-hack. Pass it on.

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Make this go viral.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

The way President Trump is wielding his authority to deploy National Guard troops in Los Angeles is unprecedented and untested.

Everyone is entitled to due process – regardless of who you are. It’s in our Constitution. No process removals are against the law, as the courts have said.

Unbelievable. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Trump administration is dismantling the office that investigates civil rights violations in immigration enforcement. With deportations ramping up, we must have more oversight of detention conditions — not less.

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

This is a critical moment in our nation's history. We cannot let down the children and college students who depend on federal education funding for their education.

@neatoday.bsky.social @cftunion.bsky.social I propose teachers and other school staff go on strike to stop this nonsense of eliminating the department of education.

I am,unbelievably,even more worried about what is going on. MSNBC is firing great people. Felon&Creep just fired everyone who was guarding against foreign interventions in our elections.Their equally corrupt dictator buddies around the world can now freely alter elections! ALL watchdogs are fired.

You’re about to hear all kinds of things about a bill called the SAVE Act.  Congressional Republicans are using it as a cover to take away voting rights from thousands of Americans—all while claiming it’s about stopping non-citizens from voting. 5 things to know 🧵👇🏻
