I support

Eunice Kennedy Shriver is spinning in her grave.

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

On Tuesday night, Judge Susan Crawford was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a decisive 10-point margin, a rebuke of Elon Musk, who spent $20 million in an attempt to buy the seat. And that's just the beginning. For more progressive victories, don't miss this edition of the Week In Wins.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

UPDATE: Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking for more than 22 hours. It's now the 2nd longest floor speech in the history of the Senate, according to MSNBC.

Sen. Jim Banks told a laid off U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee who approached him that they “probably deserved it” and they “seem like a clown.”

God bless Senator @booker.senate.gov ... 20 plus hours and counting! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUK...

100% this!

Thou shalt not let anti-science imbeciles destroy the Department of Education so everyone can be as stupid as they are.

The US military just purged their website of mentions of the Holocaust, 9/11 remembrance, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention to align with their new “anti-DEI” policies.

Shameful

Is Muriel a junkie she seemed high as a kite in her recent interview?

Doing my part to support the woke agenda. 😜

So, whatever you do don't share or repost or anything like that this meme. Gosh knows we sure wouldn't want the price of Tesla stock to plunge or anything like that.

“I think, in this age, optimism is a revolutionary act.”

Ok, let's do it!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Checks ... Balances... Anyone?

We should be banning NDAs not books. Until we greatly limit the use of NDAs, powerful people will continue to use them as a weapon of silence -- leveraging their power to cover up wrongdoing. Protecting trade secrets is one thing, covering up bad behavior is another #WomeinSTEM #WomeninTech

Uneducated voters are a much greater threat than illegal immigrants.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
