Today, millions of people hit the streets to call for an end to the Trump administration’s abuse of power. We’re showing up for each other just like we have every day of the Trump presidency.

Important THREAD on the 2025 Trump protests: Bigger than 2017 and "extraordinarily nonviolent in their tactics." A must read especially for journalists & pundits who have mostly failed to give this on-going protest movement the coverage it deserves.

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

The Republican reconciliation bill which makes massive cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for huge tax breaks for billionaires is not just bad public policy. It is not just immoral. It is a death sentence for struggling Americans.

If a foreign born person is married to a US citizen, and that marriage is legit, and they are working thru the steps to obtain permanent residence status and be a contributing member of society — they should NOT be deported! Ripping families apart is stupid!

🤰$5K for having a baby? That’s cute. Giving birth (with insurance) costs an average of $19K, with women paying $3K out of pocket. 💸 Caring for an infant in the first year costs $10-23K. 💰💰💰 (www.newyorklife.com/articles/bre...) These are not serious ideas.

Rest in Peace Francis, a leader who always championed the world's most vulnerable. He was also a bit of a jokester, and I can't help but applaud his last little prank – almost die at the start of Lent, make it to Easter, cash in the Feast Day, and then peace out on a Monday. He wins Pope Fights. -B

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Here is the first all female crew in space. And that was to orbit, not to some arbitrary and changeable Karman Line. Earned with hard work, skill and bravery, not paid for.

At least one federal judge has finally had enough. I don’t know how the executive-judiciary conflict will go, and like others I worry that SCOTUS will help Trump defeat the law if they can. But still, it’s a confrontation that must be had. The alternative is forfeiting rule of law without a fight.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

This is the thing. Manufacturing jobs 100 years ago were dangerous, precarious, and poorly paid. Manufacturing jobs 70 years ago were a golden ticket to the middle class. The jobs didn't change. What changed was the New Deal and unions.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
