I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.

Republicans aren’t pushing prayer and the Ten Commandments in schools to teach values—they’re trying to hijack public education to push their agenda. Our kids aren’t pawns in their culture war. They deserve knowledge, not indoctrination. #DontDefundPublicSchools @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

The GOP budget plan kicks 5.5 million off Medicaid—and 2.4 million will be left with no health insurance at all. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s a death sentence dressed up as “fiscal responsibility.” #MomsForMedicaid

More of this, please!🔥 Kristy Noem was there to lie about immigrants’ right to due process and U.S. citizens’ deportations. Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) @underwood.house.gov shut her down hard: “The federal gov. has NO authority under U.S. laws to deport any American citizen.” #OnYourSide

This administration has deported a four-year old U.S. citizen with cancer. They're illegally disappearing people to a foreign torture prison. The first thing history will say about Secretary Noem's leadership is that she was responsible for many of these travesties.

The RULING class divides us by race, gender, income, education, geography, party & religion. It’s the OLDEST trick in their book. THEY have masterfully kept us from uniting bc they KNOW that TOGETHER WE ARE FAR MORE POWERFUL THAN THEM.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

3. Weak Judicial Oversight. ICE operates under the president, not the courts. It can detain people for months without charges or trials. Like secret police in autocracies, it enforces executive power with minimal legal checks and limited due process. This is information Americans need to know.

How ICE is becoming America’s secret police: 1. Civilian Surveillance. ICE tracks people using license plate readers, social media, and private data brokers—often without warrants. This mirrors how autocrats use secret police to monitor “undesirables” and maintain control...

A classic authoritarian move: build a parallel military loyal to you, not the state. Trump learned in his first term that the U.S. military wasn't easily coopted - so this time he's creating his own. ICE is being reshaped into a kind of personal secret police. The signs are all there...

That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.
