Netanyahu has blocked aid to Gaza for two weeks. Last night, he ordered strikes that killed over 400 Palestinians, endangered hostages, and broke a fragile ceasefire. Congress must uphold our laws and stop further weapons transfers to Israel. apnews.com/live/latest-...

Scott Jennings blows up at Neera Tanden Tanden: So when they do it to a Tesla dealership, it's really bad. But when they do it to the halls of congress, we should pardon them. Is that your position?

We must save Medicaid! Medicaid covers roughly 1/2 of childbirths, & 2/3 of nursing home stays. Approximately 1/5 of Americans rely on Medicare/Medicaid for healthcare. Yet the GOP just passed a bill requiring DEEP cuts to these programs. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY! #SaveMedicaid

Democrats have one message for Donald Trump and the GOP: Health care is not “waste.” I’m proud to stand with Massachusetts physicians, patients, and health care leaders to fight back against the GOP plan to slash Medicaid in order to fund their billionaire tax cuts.

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

1/2 More than 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain under Russian control. 2 years ago, on 3/17/2023, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Putin & Maria Lvova-Belova for the forced deportation of Ukrainian children. Every stolen child must come home. #SlavaUkraini #NAFO #Fellas @u24.gov.ua
