Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

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.

@corybooker.com Thank you, Senator Booker! From Senate Merkeley’s part of the country-Portland, Oregon.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Round of applause for Cory tonight. 👏 May he have the stamina of an ox and a pocket full of cough drops.

The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

NEW: A federal judge in Maryland Thursday blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials from accessing sensitive data and systems at the Social Security Administration (SSA). www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

Folks always ask me how they can make a difference. Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online. Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

It’s truly amazing how almost all of the bad ideas anyone has ever had about how to organize American society are all getting tried out at the same time

Millions of Americans are enraged by Musk's wrecking-ball operation It's time we get all of them into the streets — here's how: Everyone should sign up here to get rapid response notifications about local actions against illegal cuts to services and jobs. savepublicservices.com

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

If my greatest contribution to society is to be the medical frontline - correcting RFK’s nonsense at every step - then I will do it. For the vast majority, measles vaccination confers lifelong protection. This isn’t complicated or debated.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Reviewer #2 thinks you may have understated your premise and encourages you to add to the conclusion.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

So, actually, it always was Russia.

The Trump administration just fired hundreds of NOAA scientists—gutting the agency that protects us from deadly storms, wildfires, and climate disasters. This is an outright attack on science, public safety, and our economy. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...
