#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Like tough-love teachers from your school days, Ms. Clinton brings an assignment for the long weekend: When you gather with friends & family, tell them how the GOP budget hurts kids. Now we know: she’s been right all along.

In paeans to Springsteen's bravery for standing up to this regime, do not throw The (Dixie) Chicks under the bus as having an easier time or less moral courage. Try being an outspoken woman in this world in this century. The Chicks earned our respect. They still have it. @nicollewallace.bsky.social

On January 6, 2021, President Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol—and yet the plaque honoring the officers who defended us sits forgotten in the basement. If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will. I’m proud to affix this replica outside my office.

Yesterday, in the context of an emergency (there was none) motion with no argument and limited briefing, the Court overturned almost a century of precedent to just about end independent agencies. This is not how real courts behave. #notacourt.

Jen Kiggans voted for the GOP’s budget bill, which includes massive Medicaid cuts, because she’d rather be in good graces with Trump than protect Virginians’ health care. Despicable. #VA02

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

Several lawmakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders warned Paramount not to settle, with some saying that such a move could violate laws against bribery. Colbert went into mock outrage mode. I'm outraged, too. @60minutes.bsky.social was the last good thing on CBS and now they've ruined that.

The next 100 days will be tougher than the last, they expect you to burn out and accept it, they expect you to stop protesting and sit quietly at home. They expect you to submit yourself to fascism and just let it happen. You are better than that. Make them expect your diligence and consistency. #3E

Trump’s acceptance of the Qatari jet is yet another example of this administration’s rampant corruption… and opens up a whole host of security concerns. Another new low from an administration that can’t stop embarrassing itself.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Republicans want to kick 7.6M people off Medicaid to save $625B over 10 years. Universal healthcare with Medicare for All would guarantee everyone healthcare and save $650B every year. Republicans don’t care about healthcare or saving money — they want to harm people.

Remember when Republicans pretended to care about deficits? I'm sure you do since it was literally six months ago and for four years before that.  Now they're perfectly fine adding $2.5 trillion to the deficit to pay for their billionaire tax giveaway — while gutting Medicaid. Sadly predictable.

As the Trump Administration is kidnapping and deporting brown immigrants without due process, and welcoming white South African "refugees" with fanfare, they're asking the Supreme Court to ignore the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship. You can call it racist and white supremacist now.
