That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Hickman’s Family Farms lost 95% of its flock to an avian flu outbreak. This unmitigated spread puts Arizona jobs at risk and threatens to keep raising egg prices. I’m calling on USDA to reinstate a comprehensive vaccination strategy ASAP.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

“This bill cuts $880 billion from Medicaid over a decade.” As the GOP’s budget bill heads to the Senate, we must remember what is on the line: healthcare for children, seniors, and families who can’t afford to lose it.

"I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there." Hey MTG, your job is to know what you're voting YES on. It's unacceptable for an elected official to vote for policies that will harm millions of Americans & cop out by saying they didn't read all of the text.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are working behind the scenes to mess with your Social Security. They’re changing the rules so they can fire workers on the frontlines who help Americans get their checks—and replace them with Trump loyalists. We’re not letting them get away with it.

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

Viruses don't promise to get milder over time. Instead, our collective & personal immunity, from infections & vaccines, reduces severity & limits new variants. Everyone alive in 2020 has some immunity, but reducing vaccination weakens our collective protection, especially now in pregnancy & infancy

Republicans have a new talking point for gutting Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts: “We are all going to die.” If your senator is a GOP ghoul like Joni Ernst, they need to hear from the constituents they’re betraying with Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

If we can afford to give another $664 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% and spend over $1 trillion on the Pentagon, we can afford health care for the working people of this country.
