URGENT ACTION: Details for Trump's Presidential Budget were leaked, including his plans to disastrously eliminate Head Start and endanger #childcare access for families. Tell Congress we want Trump’s #HANDSOFF #HeadStart. action.momsrising.org/sign/Head_St...

For as much control as the right has over political discourse in the US, they know the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia would be an uncontrollable PR nightmare for them. His accounts of what he's seen and experienced will be the biggest crisis this regime faces and they know it.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

YIKES: The College Football Playoff National Championship trophy completely falls apart as JD Vance picks it up. A metaphor for this disastrous administration. (via Philip Wegmann)

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

URGENT ACTION - Last week the Trump Administration shut down Head Start serving offices in 23 states, ripping away care from the children and families. Demand that Congress restore #HeadStart & #childcare NOW! action.momsrising.org/sign/Head_St...

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

“People weren’t taking action just to protest what the president and his movement represented, but because of visceral fear—real fear—of what he had already done, and that once impossible things were now very much possible.”

I love the city of Buffalo and this morning I was so proud to stand with my fellow City of Good Neighbors to take a stand against the tyranny of the Trump regime. #handsoff @meidastouch.com

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??

Senator Booker is an American hero 🇺🇸 @booker.senate.gov

Cory Booker is getting emotional talking about the sacrifices Americans have made for their country, including his colleague Tammy Duckworth. And he's still going strong!

DOGE is actually INCREASING the deficit. It has cut only a small fraction of what it’s claimed to cut. And it’s cutting the IRS and CFPB — both of which GAIN revenue for the government. So DOGE is a money loser — except for Elon Musk, who profits off fat government contracts.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

They want to annex Canada and Greenland after running on avoiding World War 3.

The Trump regime desperately needs to deflect from Signal-gate. What horrific thing will they do next to steer the attention of the American people away from it?

The National Security Advisor is an incompetent liar, and the Secretary of Defense is a drunk incompetent liar.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Trump is now begging the same world leaders he’s been threatening—asking them to send eggs to the U.S. to help bail him out as prices skyrocket.

Democrats won a key special election yesterday and massively over performed in another, potentially indicating a shift in voter sentiment amid the chaos of the Trump administration.

The House Democrats did their job. They stayed united as a caucus and lost only one defector (whose vote was not determinative). Now it's the Senate's turn, and the whispers we're hearing that key votes might fold are a huge red flag. Call NOW. indivisible.org/resource/cal...
