We must keep fighting to make sure every Social Security check goes out in full and on time, just as they have for the past 90 years.

Where I’m from in Western PA, patriotic families proudly show pictures of loved ones in uniform. So as this Administration tries to privatize the VA and sell it off to the highest bidder—which we know will hurt veterans' earned care—you better believe I'm gonna fight back.

Can't wait to see this wealth trickle down to workers......oh wait, that was always a myth.

Just deranged. This was a *solved* problem.

A special aspect of The Katie Phang Show is the platform it provided for AANHPI voices & issues. Our community is underrepresented, undervalued, & often overlooked. The poster contains some, but not all, of the 100+ AANHPI guests that have appeared on my show. And I’m just getting started!

happy fifth anniversary of Mad King Donny telling the country to inject bleach day to all who celebrate

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I'm sorry, what now?!

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

To nobody's surprise, SC House Republicans refused to lead again and decided to kick the can down the road with the Diversity Equity and Inclusion bill H. 3927. Join us tomorrow as we fight together! #SCPol #new52 #deiwontdie

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

President #Zelenskyy visited a medical facility in #Dnipro, meeting wounded soldiers and presenting state awards. He thanked them for their courage and service, and expressed gratitude to the doctors for their dedicated care.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

my goodness you can see Tulsi Gabbard trying to come up with evasive answers to Kelly's questions in real time

Jon Ossoff has got the kind of inner fire I’m always looking for in leaders. He has it. This video demonstrates what I’m talking about. www.mediaite.com/news/dem-law...

10 bucks says there will be no firings or resignations over #SignalGate. That would insinuate that Trump makes mistakes. Dictators never admit mistakes.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

Trump and musk want to take away your SS and Medicaid/medicare to allow them to renew tax cuts for both them and billionaire friends

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not. So, I won’t. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

He will have much to answer for when this is over.

I am honored to have been welcomed to a local clinic for Medicaid Day of Action. Medicaid is vital for millions of families, children, seniors, & underserved communities. We should prioritize preventative care and get vaccinated for a healthier future. #MedicaidDayofAction

Let these DOGE feel your pain. Keep it nonviolent.

rfk jr's attitude toward anyone or thing that gets sick is "if he dies, he dies."

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

So its only MARCH and this administration has. 1. Had multiple plane accidents. 2. Measle outbreaks. 3. Redacted Epstein records. 4. Attempt to deport ACTUAL citizens to include NATIVE Americans. AND began the worse economic COLLAPSE in many years. So are you..........
