Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Weird how Republicans say they’re worried about Big Tech and government overreach...until it’s Elon Musk. We tried to subpoena him over privacy concerns and data abuse. They blocked us. They’re not doing oversight—they’re doing cover-ups.

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera. Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the reason America needs an IQ test before holding office.

Your bill is the single largest health care rollback in American history. If you’re going to do it, at least have the guts to own it. Federal Medicaid $ does not cover undocumented people, period. Surely you know this.

In Colorado, we made a monumental step forward for love and equality. I'm proud to have signed SB25-014, which repealed the outdated constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Love knows no bounds, and every Coloradan deserves the freedom to marry who they want to. www.colorado.gov/governor/new...

We’re in the DOGE Subcommittee hearing, but where’s Elon? Is the “oversight” in the room with us? 
Republicans wanted to talk about NGOs and Stacey Abrams. But, Trump’s out here slapping a for sale sign on the White House lawn—and y’all wanna play games?

Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

This is the test of our democracy right now: how much will Republicans in Congress let President Trump get away with defying the law? The answer should be: this moment shouldn’t be about party. It should be about the country.

ETTD

When it's referenced "he" went to "Wharton School Of Finance at Penn"(School of Business btw) see article for info.. www.phillymag.com/news/2019/09...

WOOHOO! I hope Congresswoman Crockett gets this!

Exactly! Why Don't folks understand this? SO MANY OF US have to provide our own insurance (THANK YOU ACA/Marketplace) if the bill goes through, many won't be able to afford any health plan!

LOL! oh Kyle.. best perspective, again!

COMMENTARY: The Boulder terror attack reinforces that responding to speech with violence is cowardly and un-American.

The threat of educated people assembling should be a warning for this moment in history. Lessons.

Milford MA is turning out en masse to demand the release of a student ICE kidnapped the other day www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj493bRg/

Just released. My Nature piece: "Never before has the USA seen such an anti-intellectual, anti-science assault... History tells us that there are times when the dangers of inaction become sufficiently threatening to individuals or the planet that scientists... rdcu.be/eo3Hb

Maximo Londonio, a 42-year-old Washington State resident and dad of 3, who was born in the Philippines and came to the U.S. when he was 12, was detained at Seattle Tacoma International Airport on May 15. The lack of due process in the U.S. has raised alarms.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Yes.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

So guess we are going to just ignore the Establishment Clause then.

Respect this site for the Apache. If Christians were bringing this before the court for a site- there would be no question, equal rites people!!!

🧵I am in a group chat with history teachers from across the country that I’ve known for nearly a decade now. I sent them information about the new Oklahoma Social Studies standards. OK teachers will be required to teach about irregularities in the 2020 election. My friends all laughed.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

SB 153 and HB 233 are bad twin bills in the Ohio Statehouse that would be very bad for voters, elections, and election officials. Help us stop these very bad bills: email Ohio lawmakers here and call their offices to tell them to oppose these bills: lwvohio.salsalabs.org/protectohiosdirectdemocracy

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Worth posting again.

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

McGovern: This is something Republicans don’t want to be associated with, and they’re doing their best to hide. But if they vote for it, they own it—and we’re going to make sure they own it

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

One employee who had taken the deferred resignation deal was furious to learn their job was on that list of vacancies. They had not wanted to resign from their job but felt forced to do so after repeated warnings of mass layoffs ahead.

Thank you, Congresswoman.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

What he said👇🏼 Let’s make some noise 📢 📞 (202) 224-3121 or @5calls.org

Trump’s DOJ says DOGE isn’t an agency—just “advice.” They axed workers, killed contracts, gutted programs. Now they want SCOTUS to block watchdogs from seeing how. This isn’t secrecy. It’s sabotage—wrapped in a loophole.
