This is what Democracy looks like. This is why Republicans are terrified right now. Let's keep this energy going, because we are the TRUE patriots of this country.

FUCK. THIS. All of this.

Ewww

You’re going to keep hearing stories like this—because Trump doesn’t GAF about these folks. WAKE UP! “We have a quarter million dollars in inventory stuck in China… we don’t have $400K to pay the tariffs… so we had to freeze all shipments… and let go of most of our people already this year.”

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

God bless John Lewis.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I want every CEO who pulled for Trump b/c Biden was old or Kamala was going to do “socialism” to grocery prices to put on their fucking clown makeup today.

This government is so incompetent. What a waste of resources, and stress for these fine folks. apple.news/A9RrstHS4QDu...

Jeanette Vizguerra has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. She’s a mom, a community leader, and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people. And now, ICE has detained her without warning because she’s a powerful voice for immigrants. 📢 Sign the petition: act.domesticworkers.org/a/petition-f...

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

The Chinese government is his most important business partner.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

This is the way. Write your pension fund, school, city comptroller and demand divestment from Tesla.

Say something to your representatives

📌"Because Zelenskyy has tasted gun powder and breathed the odious smell of death on the battlefield, he wasn't about to be pushed around by some morbidly obese, 78-yr-old yacht club bully and his toady, who think swinging a sand wedge to free a golf ball from some bunker is dangerous business." 1/3

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

For those who wanted to share this video off platform. Here it is on YouTube youtu.be/OiPa9VY9PH8?...

Prior to tonight’s joint address to Congress, I spoke with Rep. @sarajacobsca.bsky.social about the trans military ban, and unsurprisingly, her perspective nails it.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Today’s front page of the largest newspaper in Quebec, Canada and they nailed it 🤣🎯
