Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research. Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Senate Republicans just started the process to pass their budget giving billionaires a handout at the expense of the middle class. We will NOT let them do this the easy way. I'll be doing everything I can to make this as painful as possible for Republicans & put them on record.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

In Washington last year, a traffic crash killed or seriously injured someone every 2.7 hours, but I've never seen a TV news station claim that even a single horrific crash "highlights the dangers" of roadway travel.

Realizing this was a wake-up for me. The republicans have turned from a coalition of business+evangelical+reactionaries into a movement of ideology. Dems are the big tent, and aim to give everyone in the tent a small win when they get power. Moreso, to Dems, politics is a day job. Not a mission

Glad to see the reactionary centrists are still blaming liberal ideals for the outright rise in fascism. Yes, very historically sound reasoning! Truly unable to engage in self-reflection, are we?

Not that we shouldn't try to prosecute Trump on this, but I'm willing to bet that John Roberts would be able to find a way to call this an official act. But imo that could generate greater public outrage at both Trump and the Supreme Court, which is not all that bad

The need for flagship media to equivocate on evidence-based health care (!) is in and of itself capitulation to the conservative movement. It’s the same thing with gender affirming care—pretending there is a debate gives credence to the whole right-wing grievance

A nice small win, and also a good sign to see the military not listening to Trump (at least in this realm). Imo his power currently solely derives from his control of the military. If they substantively fight against the WH moving forward, it brings a sliver of hope

If the VP thinks that Trump can just ignore decisions from the judiciary, he clearly needs to go back to grade school. We have three co-equal branches of government. Trump has already infringed on Congress’ power, and as he inches toward ignoring the courts, we’re entering a constitutional crisis.
