Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts. So where are the billionaires who should be saying, “Wait…don’t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancer”? This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.

“We are here today to say as Democrats, to say as independents, to say as Americans, that NO baby should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.” — @warren.senate.gov 🔥

I am a 71 year old woman who has voted in every election since I became eligible in 1971. Joe Biden was the best president in my lifetime. I will go to my grave believing that.

RFK’s belief system should not affect my healthcare

Researchers estimate 219,000 people will die because of DOGE cuts, including 148,000 children. All to save the average American taxpayer $150. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

Motherfuckers. www.npr.org/2025/05/01/n...

Does Trump believe this racist is in MS 13?

Fuck you, Jeffries! We need new leadership.

The reason you have less money isn’t the previous administration, or the immigrants in your town, or the single mothers who need help, or the programs that help the kids with special needs. The reason you have less money is because the people with the most money decided you were less than them.

I got to see 2 of my 3 sisters this weekend and all 4 of my brothers at nephew’s wedding. I saw 2 of 2 of my kids and 1 of 3 of my grands. Many nieces and nephews. I love my family.

I’m so sick of the word “illegals”! No one is illegal for wanting to live! No one is illegal for wanting freedom. No one is illegal for wanting to be happy! Isn’t that what America is all about…Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

I am a long time member of the ACLU and so proud to support the hard work they are doing to protect all of our rights. @aclu.org

Who else remembers the PPP covid loan scheme in which millions of dollars were given out to many crooks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jared Kushner, Devin Nunes, Betsy DeVos and then it was all suddenly forgiven, over $750B worth? I do. ✋

Although I am not Catholic, Pope Francis was a good man. The world needs more good men and women. May he rest in peace

It doesn’t matter what your politics are. You should care that the Secretary of Defense is dangerously unqualified for this position.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Great turnout for Madison today in spite of having to work around the Capitol Square Farmer's Market! The crowd was definitely in the hundreds-to-a-few-thousands range, but loud and enthusiastic!

Once again. These are human traffickings, not fucking DEPORTATIONS! Deportation means you're sent back to where you came from. After a hearing/due process. You're not sent to a foreign prison forever with no hearing whatsoever.

"We are seeing him treat the people of the United States of America the same way he treated those poor contractors he never paid, the same way he treated women who he sexually assaulted. He is doing the same thing to the United States of America."

@therickwilson.bsky.social you are a rat fuck. May you never find peace. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

It’s not the video games. Not the social media. It’s not the pot or the porn. It’s not that there are too many doors or too few police. It’s the gun the shooter was able to get. And it’s the gun the shooter was able to fire. It’s the gun. It’s the gun. It’s the motherfucking gun.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Republican politicians want the poor to live in cardboard boxes in alleys so the super-rich can get a tax cut and buy their 8th yacht.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I can save Republicans a lot of time here-you don’t need to persuade us that Abrego Garcia is a “bad guy.” We don’t care. Our constitution doesn’t say we get to disappear ppl just bc we don’t like what they’ve done. If it did, none of the Trump Administration would still be here.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

Impeach. Indict. Incarcerate.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
