As a member of the @equality.house.gov, I’m fighting for LGBTQI+ equality every day in Congress. That’s why I’m proud to cosponsor the #EqualityAct— EVERY American deserves equal protection under law, and I’m committed to making sure that happens.

My law firm is currently litigation 47 voting and election cases in 20 states. Democracy is still on the docket and it is winning.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

We can't just focus on Trump's corruption; we have to hold accountable the Republicans in Congress who are enabling it. They're the ones who could stop him, but instead they're choosing to be complicit in his self-dealing and abuse of power. Shame on them. #TheCostOfTrump

Social Security isn’t the government’s money. Seniors pay for their Social Security over a lifetime of hard work. #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

WATCH Trump's biggest backers are turning on him. They know his tariffs will devastate the economy. This is 100% a Trump tax.

AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country." #MedicaidCutsKillUS

BREAKING NEWS

Thousands of jobs. Cleaner transit. Less traffic. A direct line from Dallas to Houston. That’s what this project could’ve meant for Texas— but instead, the Trump Administration shut it down.

Ciscomani and his MAGA allies want to cut Medicaid so they can give Elon Musk another tax break. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans will be left to suffer without healthcare. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Trump, Musk and their MAGA allies want to take a chainsaw to Medicaid. Instead, let's take a chainsaw to Project 2025. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

LISTEN to Maxwell Frost: "We know that this country doesn't have a healthcare program. It has a sickness care program." #HandsOffOurMedicaid

To be clear: Donald Trump is threatening to deport US CITIZENS to El Salvador..... Under His eye…

LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen. Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for.

ALL 50 STATES, ONE MESSAGE: HANDS OFF! On April 5, we're mobilizing across the country to reject the Trump-Musk administration's unconstitutional threats to our democracy and freedoms. Join us social.demcast.com/s/FrYXw8VY

Saturday, WE THE PEOPLE, will show our power! On April 5th, we will say, in one voice: HANDS OFF! social.demcast.com/s/Js7g6ZDn

ABSOLUTELY CHILLING. All Rumeysa Ozturk did was write an op-ed. Then six masked ICE agents abducted her off the street and made her disappear. No warning. No due process. She's a legal resident and union member. This is a DIRECT assault on free speech. #4The1st

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a voter suppression bill. #HandsOffHerVote

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans tried to kill the ACA and John McCain's thumbs down..... #ACASavesLives

15 years ago today, Democrats passed the life-saving Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act without one Republican vote. Meanwhile, Trump has "concepts of a plan"... #ACASavesLives

🚨BREAKING: Two attorneys with DOJ Public Integrity Section have entered appearances, and moved to dismiss the criminal indictment against Eric Adams. This stain on this once proud part of DOJ will not easily be erased.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

A stark contrast: Kash Patel, who is on track to be confirmed as FBI director (but shouldn’t be) & DOJ employees who resigned rather than follow a directive to let politics interfere with prosecution. joycevance.substack.com/publish/post...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We all knew Trump was going to betray Ukraine, there was never a question about it. It is vital for Europe to show a unified front without the United States and keep in mind that its interests do not align with the rest of the democratic world until Trump & his cabal is removed or overthrown.

Please consider supporting our trans community by taking action to promote restoration & enhancement of trans rights in the military & in general. Feel free to use this as a starting point or come up with something completely new. But please, ask your MoC to take action. Our trans friends need us.

Musk & DOGE have not publicized any single case of corruption, although Musk mendaciously all the time claims that he has detected so much corruption. Musk is a mythoman & liar. If he makes a statement, he lies. How can he be an officer of any legal company?

Russian theatre. Russian troops shot down their own Eleron-3 drone, painted a 🇺🇦 flag on it to claim rewards instead of punishment—then added a Balkenkreuz (a WWII German military symbol) for extra effect. Their mistake? Leaving Russian-language markings on the wing. Classic.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Liz Cheney to JD Vance: "You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

It’s worse than just taking money. Elon and the tech bros are taking government information they didn’t have access to before. They can use that to train AI models to help shape elections and business decisions for decades to come. They can also use it to subvert any programs they deem unworthy.

Elon's DOGE isn't looking for fraud, it's looking to DEfraud. That's why he sent in hackers instead of accountants.

"There are moments in the world’s history where people look back and ask, 'Where were the lawyers? Where were the judges?' In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable," said the judge. Applause broke out in his courtroom. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-p...

Paper straws? Can he pick anything more trivial to focus on? Like, maybe, he can ban bellybutton lint?

If you've tried to call your law makers, as I have, in the past two weeks, you make have gone to voicemail. Here's why: A system that usually handles a few dozen calls per minute is straining to keep up with more than 1,500.

Repost this if you agree Elon and DOGE should be SUED!
