Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

They pardoned the guys that beat police officers and smeared their shit in the Capitol but they’re removing the Black member of Congress, who is elected and standing up for Americans

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

U.S. Rep. Al Green — the former Texas Justice of the Peace who was removed from the joint session of Congress for telling Trump “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid” — represents a district where the president definitely lacks a mandate. Green’s TX09 district voted 71-27 for Democrat Kamala Harris.

Trump, 10 minutes after Al Green was booted from the chamber for interrupting his address, Trump says "free speech is back"

Looks like Rep. Al Green of Texas is saying something. Love him. He's once again filed articles of impeachment. The Speaker Johnson is telling Green to sit down. And now ordered the sergeant-at-arms to remove him from the chambers.

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU. Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

Here are the two House Democrats (Kevin Mullin and Brittany Pettersen) who flew in to D.C. despite serious recent medical issues for each, all in order to cast a vote to protect Medicaid for their constituents against Republican attempts to gut the program. Well done.

Rep. Jim McGovern: "Last night every single Republican voted NO to protect Medicaid & to ensure kids are fed. Every. Single. One." NEVER FORGET! Hunger is STILL a dangerous issue in America. The GOP want to control a woman's UTERUS, but could care less about the child once it's born. So DISGUSTING!

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

One of my favorite things Kamala says is ‘don’t ask for permission to lead’ . If you don’t like how elected democrats are doing things, run for office yourself.

The most important thing we can do during the next four years is make time for the people in our lives in person. I was so happy to get to go with friends to the opening of my friends Restaurant in the theater district. Congratulations Tom and Michael on the West Bank Cafe, can’t wait to go back!
