House Republicans have finally released the complete version of their dreadful plan. And its confirmed our worst nightmares. This monstrous legislation demolishes health coverage and food assistance for millions. Heading to the Capitol for debate.

The latest on the Republican budget bill as I make my way back to the Capitol.

I will be introducing legislation to take Trump’s tariff power away. If the Republicans don’t vote for it, we’ll have them on record. We will use that record to campaign against them in swing seats across the country. After we force them out of enough seats, they’ll be begging us to vote for it!

Huh. DoJ leadership is in regular contact with January 6th defendants? Interesting.

action.aclu.org/send-message... Read & sign this @aclu.org petition is you haven't yet please!!

During National Police Week, we honor local, state, federal and tribal police. Reminder: MAGA doesn't Back the Blue when they try to rewrite the dreadful history of the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021.

Republicans think you’re disposable. @repgreglandsman.bsky.social of Ohio explains. #workrequirements

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force — not just the moments right before the lethal force. Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

BREAKING: Rep. Shri Thanedar just introduced Resolution 353 on the House floor, outlining seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. He's started the clock for his House colleagues to vote on impeachment. Sign TODAY to urge your members of Congress to join him: ImpeachTrumpAgain.org

RFK Jr. criticized me during a press conference this morning for saying that Trump is on the side of the oligarchs. Maybe he needs a refresher on what oligarchy actually means.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

China took Trump straight to the cleaners. Unbelievable how bad the leadership is in this country right now. The whole world is laughing at us. All we got out of his brainless trade war was higher taxes and less jobs. The price of stupidity on full display!!

The story gets wilder. The man gets to KEEP his $400m foreign gift for joyrides. The Republican sock puppets are silent as their dear leader takes the BIGGEST BRIBE IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

AXE THE TRUMP TAX!

Today Friends and Family celebrated the 111th birthday of Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. We sang happy birthday to her and she reminded us not to forget “And Many More”! Legislation to receive #JusticeforGreenWood is coming.

I asked @magaziner.house.gov if our calls can help stop the Medicaid cuts. Here’s what he said.

The United States: "We refuse to join the International Criminal Court because it's an abuse of our sovereignty for other countries to tell us what to do." Also the United States: "Stockholm, Sweden, you must drop your DEI policies OR ELSE!"

The Republican plan is to rip away your healthcare to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump administration from deporting people within the Southern District of New York without due process. The courts continue to confirm that President Trump's abuse of the Alien Enemies Act is illegal.

Update May 5, 2025: In a win for privacy and encryption, the Florida Legislature ended its regular 2025 session on May 2 without passing SB 868 / HB 743.

Anonymous has hacked GlobalX airline, due to its collaboration with Trump’s ICE ethnic cleansing campaign. Flight manifest information and flight details have been obtained and the airlines website was defaced. #3E #OpDreadNought #stopICE

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

HUNT: Is Rubio still working on the Abrego Garcia case? TAMMY BRUCE: I'm not going to speak to his work in detail HUNT: You're the spokesperson for the State Department!

In honor of Law Day, a group of our incredible lawyers renewed the oath they took when they became attorneys. The Trump administration's attempts to threaten and intimidate lawyers across the country will not succeed. Our team at Democracy Forward will always defend the rule of law. #ReaffirmTheOath

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Trump tried to twist a 200-year-old law to deport Venezuelan migrants detained in South Texas to a PRISON in El Salvador — calling them an 'armed force.' A judge (HIS judge!) just shut it down. A lie ain’t the law.
