Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.

My thanks to His Majesty King Charles III for his warm welcome and gracious hospitality today. Canada is fortunate to have a steadfast defender in our sovereign.

Two days after Lee Zeldin announced he was gutting the EPA.

Social Security. That's when the dam breaks. The right-wing in America is so extreme, so zealous, so morally bankrupt and greedy that they'll gut SS and Medicaid even though they know it'll destroy their base. People won't truly wake up until those checks don't come. A lot of pain, sadly.

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

Did you see the video of the elderly man who went to his Capitol to testify against trans kids but he ended up sitting in the overflow room and listened to two hours of testimony and completely changed his mind on trans kids? Some of them are still reachable.

People in Serbia are rising up. Beautiful to see.

BERNIE: “We have a health care crisis in this country. Americans are dying because they can't afford to see a doctor. We agreed on BIPARTISAN legislation to improve health care in America. And one Republican kills the bill. The American people are watching.”

BREAKING: Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/jz7QvVPP

Peace begins with a howl 🐺

Sen. Mark Kelly: "I think it's probably the worst 50 days of any presidency I can think of in my life. It's been, you know, pretty much a shit show since day one" Full interview on the MeidasTouch Podcast 👇 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4UCi...

Sitting here riding out the storms in the southeast and thinking about the mass firings at NOAA, the 40 tornadoes and the 34 reported dead so far 💔and praying for all to stay safe.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

AUSTRALIA RESPONDS TO US TARIFFS As Warran Buffett said: Tariffs is an act of war.

So its only MARCH and this administration has. 1. Had multiple plane accidents. 2. Measle outbreaks. 3. Redacted Epstein records. 4. Attempt to deport ACTUAL citizens to include NATIVE Americans. AND began the worse economic COLLAPSE in many years. So are you..........

What. The. Fuck.

"Bingo! this is a very clever move by President Zelensky. This looks like he is calling the bluff of both Putin and Trump." A former cabinet minister tells Nick Watt the proposed ceasefire is a win for the Ukrainian President. #Newsnight

How is protesting Tesla domestic terrorism but attacking the Capitol building is not? 🤔

More of this!

I was screaming the same thing at my TV when he made this statement!!

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Protect your peace.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury 🏆

None of this is normal

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

Calls for mandatory death penalty for anyone who murders a police officer. Dems loudly and vocally yell about Jan 6th and Capitol Police

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Marco Rubio is a spineless prick.

Not pro-life

Ever since the 2024 election, a certain song by REM has been playing in my head. I'm sure you can guess which one.

 This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I wholeheartedly agree with Reed Galen’s assessment in this post.
