Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

So unfortunately we have ten traitors in the ranks, as usual, and thats going to make it VERY difficult to move forward. I still cant believe Chuck Schumer voted for cloture!!! He's gotta go now, he's too old, and we dont want Dem-Centrists in the ranks anymore!!!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Our new billboard blasting Republicans for slashing cancer research is live on NC-147 in Durham, North Carolina – a major hub for cancer and medical research where vulnerable Republican Sen. Thom Tillis faces a TOSS-UP re-election battle. We'll be back with more billboards calling Republicans out.

Two possibilities - 1) Trump is dismantling the entire CFPB already or 2) he's threatened to do so if they didnt drop these lawsuits. What did you expect when you elected a felon?!

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
