AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

I’d say there were AT LEAST several thousand people who showed up today in New Haven, CT. This was only one of 3 events that I know of in the state. I’m SO PROUD OF CONNECTICUT!!! 💙 #handsoff #50501 #resist @meidastouch.com

Tiny, struggling Youngstown, OH just brought the FIRE—850+ showed up to fight for democracy in red Mahoning County. This isn’t apathy. This is a RISING. Even in the heart of MAGA country, people are wide awake and shouting: #HandsOff our rights, our votes, our future. 🤩

Donald's babysitters must have been extra-busy today keeping that thin-skinned toddler from seeing pics of all the thousands of people throughout America taking to streets to say they are OVER Trump and Musk and the chaos/destruction they bring.

My Republican colleagues like to say they are pro-defense, pro-patriot, pro-America, and pro-flag. If that's true, then stand up for our uniformed military officers who served 30 years. Don't let them go down in flames because you are scared.

Hey SW Michigan folks. The Palisades Nuclear Plant is coming back online in 2025. Congressman Huizenga asks what you think. I wrote to say I'm concerned with a diminished EPA overseeing safety, no watchdogs, no whistleblower protections, No FEMA in case of meltdown. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Musk is holding a rally in Green Bay as part of his ongoing attempt to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In response, grassroots groups and community members will gather to protest and send a clear message: our democracy is not for sale.

Trump insists the private data of Americans will be safe as Elon Musk's team of sloppy accountants stroll through government computers. But Trump's bumbling team just released the Social Security number of one of his attorneys, as well as the numbers for 200 others. More below:

Just wrote to my U.S. Rep asking him to support the No Invading Allies act, sponsored by Rep. Seth Magaziner, denying any funds for any such invasions of Canada, Greenland, etc. Maybe your Rep would like to hear that you also support this. magaziner.house.gov/media/press-...
