AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

Chicago is on to something.

OMG

Morning from Kyiv which was attacked by drones at night. Fires were reported in two city districts, and two people were injured. I've just had my #warcoffee. It is getting warmer outside.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

HO-LY CRAP

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Founder of Signal 👀 🔥

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Five-point shackles over open wounds. Foul-smelling milk provided in solitary confinement. Feces left in shower cells. These incidents and others were reported to the ACLU and other legal aid providers between 2022 and 2024 by detainees at the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center.

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

ICYMI: Here is American Oversight’s lawsuit against Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe, Scott Bessent, Marco Rubio, and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration for violations of the Federal Records Act and Administrative Procedure Act. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Donald Trump’s interim Social Security head is firing staff at a level to cripple the system’s effectiveness. He appointed one of Musk’s DOGE staff as chief information officer who will have access to all recipients financial information.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

🔥 WATCH LIVE: AOC and Bernie Sanders hold MASSIVE Fighting Oligarchy rally in Denver

JUST IN: Judge Hollander has issued a *second* letter today warning Social Security acting commissioner Dudek not to shut down all operations over her order barring DOGE's access to sensitive systems. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

You guys remember when President Biden revoked Secret Service protection from Don, Eric, and Ivanka? NO? It's because he didn't. Because he's not a petty ass. trump, on the other hand, has removed it from Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, because being President was never about helping Americans.

OMG

Reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a fake department. Fugazi

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

AND THIS

THIS!

THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN EVERYWHERE
