Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

During yesterday's Senate hearing, Kristi Noem struggled to define habeas corpus…or cite which article of the Constitution the clause is in. @normeisen.bsky.social and @asharangappa.bsky.social discuss the executive misnomer.

The Israeli government is committing genocide—one of the greatest evils known to humankind—in Gaza. Executing unarmed non-combatants is evil. Not only are both these statements true, they’re synergistic—part of the same humanist philosophy. I condemn the Israeli government _and_ the DC assassin.

Here’s something you can do as a palate cleanser while watching the GOP destroy healthcare: demand that Jeffries tap Rep. Crockett for ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. Because there will be hearings on all of this eventually. And we want her running them. 🔥 Script & numbers below.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Busting up big corporations. Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

AOC: They want to talk about why America is great or making America great. Our civil liberties and our civil protections are part of what makes America great. When you want to shred up our constitution and eliminate due process, it is attacking what it is to be an American.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.

HANDS OFF confusing messaging! In authoritarian regimes, CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE is key to their power. We Dems fail at this control more often than not. Make protest signs SPECIFIC. DO NOT GIVE FREE PUBLICITY to what we DON’T want. Do not say his name, etc. open.substack.com/pub/karintam...

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
