"Fred Rogers famously told us, in times of emergency and despair, to 'look for the helpers.' It’s really good advice, but I will note: it is advice for children. If you’re an adult in the coming crisis, we are going to need a lot of helpers." - John Oliver

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Here's a long thread of *verified* civilians trapped and hungry in Gaza. Their accounts are constantly deleted, so I'm linking to direct pages. Please give, repost, and find others to help. Most on Bluesky are real people in desperate need, and we’re their only lifeline. I'll post more next week.

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

Over 2 million people are being intentionally deprived of food, water, medicine, and baby formula. Israel must allow aid into Gaza immediately. This genocide must end and the U.S. must stop being complicit.

I give through the Zakat Foundation, who I learned about from Sami Zayn. Giving can feel so futile in a world governed by evil men, but that makes it more imperative to do what we can.

the DOJ is literally **arresting Democratic members of Congress** and Senate Democrats are voting to pass Republican legislation

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

Senate Republicans are fast-tracking the GENIUS Act, which would greenlight a financial system enabling the ultra-rich to exploit unstable crypto schemes. The rest of us will be left holding the bag. Every Senate Democrat must vote against Trump's corrupt crypto scam.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message. You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too. We need help, not acclaim.

Finally, the majority of people on SNAP are children and the elderly so not only should we eschew work requirements we should just give everybody monthly grocery money as a society it literally would make us money and prevent starvation among the most vulnerable people
