NPR: “A record 575 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in states through April...” (TN among the most) It’s not Dems that keep making trans rights the focus of every legislative session. It’s Republicans. To distract from the real issues they won’t address.

Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

The Danes could invoke Article 4 right now. (This article allows a NATO member to convene a meeting of all the members if its territorial integrity is in jeopardy.) Later, they might have to invoke Article 5 -- against the United States. Think of that. www.wsj.com/world/greenl...

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

@corybooker.com @amyklobuchar.com any responses? Like many, I watched the live stream on Sunday feeling inspired only to see you both vote for an ill prepared appointee the next day - was Sunday simply performative?

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

“The question of trans women in sports has little to do with the cultural practice of sport itself. Rather, it’s merely a convenient way of normalizing transphobia: the thin end of the wedge.” www.liberalcurrents.com/do-trans-wom...

0. Vought, Vance, Rufo, and those attacking academia see scientists as bureaucrats—in the most pejorative sense of the term—who they can "put into trauma" and drive to quit. They don't understand that science is not just a job. It's a vocation, literally, in the original sense of a calling.

Trump’s $5.3 trillion tax cuts just cleared the path. Passed by two votes. No Democrats needed. Debt ceiling up $5 trillion. Safety nets on the chopping block. $1.5 trillion in spending cuts still to come. They’re not shrinking the government— they’re gutting the parts that protect you.

obscene lying from Stephen Miller on Fox News as he claims the economy was in "depression" thanks to Biden when Trump took office (the American economy was in fact the envy of the world three months ago ... )

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

@schumer.senate.gov all DEMS should Vote NO on the cloture. Vote NO on the dirty CR Bill. Hold this line for us - keep the balance across the branches of government- don’t relinquish power of the purse to the executive branch. And do not give Trump/Musk the unchecked controls in this CR - Hold 4US
