Federal Medicaid cuts could shutter rural hospitals—jeopardizing care, jobs, and lives in communities that need them most. #ProtectMedicaid #Medicaid #MomsForMedicaid

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

I don’t have anything close to $1.98 gas near me. How about you? 🤨

Awesome news! Let’s give it up for Ohio—every single library levy on Tuesday’s ballot passed, some by blowout margins. While GOP extremists try to slash $91M in library funding, voters showed up to say loud and clear: we believe in books, not bans. 📚 More here: tinyurl.com/OH-libraries

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Wyden: "About 2 percent of our imports come from Great Britain. So put me down as kind of skeptical that there is much there there."

Not only is this regime coming for medication abortion (far safer than pregnancy and birth), they’re not even pretending there’s any legitimate science behind it. It’s just to own the women. Read @jessicavalenti.bsky.social’s grim review. open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1945: German troops lay down their arms and the war in Europe is over. People throughout Europe, the Soviet Union, the U.S. and the British Empire put out flags and banners and crowded the streets to celebrate the victory of the Allies over fascism. /1

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.  Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.   We’re fighting back!

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth #Voices4Victory Climate change intensified the historic flooding in the Midwest and South in April. A warm atmosphere holds more moisture, so when the front stalled over the region it dumped 6" to 12" of rain, with extremes of up to 16". www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

Good news. We have an American Pope. From Chicago, ergo DA POPE. Even better news. He’s not a fan of fascism.

Virginia! You need a great Governor that cares about all the people of VA. Vote for Abigail Spanberger! 🌸Stand up for Veterans 🌸Protect VA’s Natural Resources 🌸Stand up for Federal Workers 🌸Protect Jobs 🌸Lower Healthcare Costs Please visit: abigailspanberger.com

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

The rightwing hates me because I fight. They fear me because we win.

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

Nice, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social 🔥

He has to make up his successes because of course he doesn't have any.

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a native of Chicago who is now the first American-born pope, has spent most of his career outside of the U.S, ministering to the dispossessed and marginalized. The “Latin Yankee,” as he is known in Rome, worked 20 years in Peru.

The president of the United States is ripping us off blind and Congress is allowing it. Resist ✊🏼💙⚖️

DHS Sec Kristi Noem testifying on DHS budget today, and Sen. Chris Murphy begins by eviscerating everything she's been doing so far. "You are illegally refusing to spend funds appropriated by this Congress... Routinely violating the rights of immigrants... Your agency acts as if laws don't matter."

"Should businesses display how much of a purchase price goes towards paying tariffs?" Yes: 61% No: 17% YouGov / May 5, 2025

Wisconsin's GOP-run Joint Finance Committee just cut hundreds of items in Governor Evers' budget with a single vote, including: ❌ Middle-class tax cuts ❌ Affordable child care ❌ Cracking down on health insurers who deny claims ❌ Expanding BadgerCare ❌ So much more…👇

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Where's the lie?

That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people? P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
