I still think it’s backwards that mass shooters owning assault weapons is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

It's totally unsustainable for Democrats to argue "Trump is a dangerous authoritarian criminal who is openly disregarding the constitution and taking bribes--which is why it's idiotic to call for impeachment." You can say it's too soon, but it's what the constitution requires.

This bill is trash. It would allow fascists to ban anything related to LGBTQ. They have said they will use it that way. Do not fall for this garbage.

Either they think Trump is a tyrant and an existential to the republic, or they are lying about that and don’t really think it. If impeachment is the only remedy, then you put people on the record to show whether they really believe their own words or its just rhetoric.

Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.

Kane: You were confirmed Feb 13. Feb 14th probationary employees were all laid off. RFKJ: I was aware of it and could have blocked it. You heard it here folks! RFKJ was all in on cutting probationary employees. Elon must have kompromat on all Trump Cabinet members.

RFK Jr. says we should be a “colorblind” country. That’s not a thing. Health disparities by race are REAL: cancer, maternal mortality, COVID hospitalizations… Black, Hispanic, Native communities bear the brunt. “Colorblindness” is lazy and dangerous racism. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cult...

This was SB99 from 2023. I spoke against this bill on 3 different occasions on the house floor, including the "blood on your hands" speech. I am glad this bill has been permanently defeated. And that Montana's constitution continues to protect trans people from government overreach and animus.

From my DMs.This story provides a snapshot of FWS right now: 1) reeling from people who left due to the fork. 2) employees “acting” because we have a hiring freeze, often doing multiple jobs. 3) maintaining services anyway, no cut to hours of operation. 4) local officials can’t comment. #Resist

RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing. Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign. Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

House GOP is pushing a 10yr federal ban on state-level AI regulation. This would override laws in CA, CO, UT & TN, aiming to prevent a mashup of rules. Realistically, this strips states of power to protect their residents. Like when AI swears the safe internal temp for 🍗 is 102F [it's 165F, btw]
