When Elon Musk set his DOGE goons loose to gut NOAA, experts warned it would mean delays and gaps in forecasting extreme weather events... Which is exactly what happened when deadly storms swept through Kentucky. And it threatens every American. #teslatakedown www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Musk thinks he can limit his blame & reputational devastation by “stepping back” on DOGE. He can’t. He owns all the damage he’s caused, and the damage to come too. Imagine an arsonist lighting your home on fire, and the fire station too, and then saying he’s “stepping back now” while it burns.

Musk's lackeys just rigged the rules to make it nearly impossible for shareholders to block a massive giveaway to Elon or hold the board accountable for failing to look out for shareholders' best interest. No responsible investor should hold this stock #teslatakedown www.cnbc.com/2025/05/16/t...

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.

Trump and Republicans are continuing to try and bully trans kids out of existence. But we won’t back down to their attacks, because everyone deserves the opportunity to live their life. I will never stop fighting for the rights of trans people everywhere.

🧵1 A 12-year-old boy was left alone on a street corner after “ICE” agents arrested the adult he was with in Waltham, MA. They just drove away and left him. A child. On the sidewalk. Like trash. THIS is the face of our immigration system. Cruel. Inhumane. Indefensible. #OnYourSide @cbsnews.com

They are playing games with transgender people's lives in Massachusetts specifically to protect anti-transgender Democrats from having to vote. I am very concerned for transgender people in Mass. I think a sports ban very well could happen there.

Cigna reported $3.4 billion in profit last year. Their profits are our denied claims, and the more people who are left to die and untreated while paying premiums, the more profitable they are. The US healthcare system is designed to transfer wealth upwards, not provide healthcare.
