Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

A small group of protesters hung an inverted American flag — historically used as a sign of distress in Yosemite National Park — on Saturday. The protest came just over a week after the Trump administration abruptly fired at least 1,000 National Park Service employees. nyti.ms/4ka2zwF

#ProudBlue Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid.... #DontCutOurMedicaid

🧵 on the “Brief Education of Teeny Tiny Hands Vice President Tmurp”

The GOP want to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MILLION people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths. All to fund tax breaks for the rich. #DontCutOurMedicaid

Republican legislators are now facing complaints from constituent, demonstrating the limits of the right's propaganda machine. Most Americans reject the idea that firing hundreds of thousands of government employees is necessary to fight waste and fraud. www.alternet.org/fox-news-dog...

You sent us to war on a lie, cut our health benefits, and voted against every veterans bill that has hit the floor. We are the 47% you refer to as the "takers." You don't give a f*ck about us

We’re officially known as the bad guys internationally now. The United States voted against a resolution, backed by most of Europe, demanding Russian withdrawal from Ukraine — a deep fissure between allies, and a sharp shift in American policy. youtu.be/anYuxtCJb6g

Trump officials' claim over timing of $400M 'armored Teslas' deal undercut by docs: report: When a recent review of federal contracts exposed that the State Department was preparing to award a $400 million contract for "armored Teslas," it provoked an uproar of corruption accusations, with many…

Illinois Gov.JB Pritzker has gone to the head of the line for the Democratic nomination in 2028. Pritzker masterfully took down the Musk/ Trump Regimes authoritarian plans for America. Pritzker is the kind of fighter we must have to save our nation from Musk.Trump and Quisling Republicans #ProudBlue

Not only did French President Emmanuel Macron laugh in Donald Trump’s face and fact checked him on camera in the Oval Office… France also voted against the draft resolution on the war in Ukraine presented by the United States at the UN Security Council not long afterward. Thank you, France 🇫🇷 !

SURPRISE! China TURNS on Russia: Halts Oil Purchases youtu.be/p2SKsf0Maxc?...

Polish President Duda: Gas flows from Russia to Europe should never be resumed, even after Russian invasion of Ukraine ends. The Nord Stream pipelines should be dismantled.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

Why would you lie about the astronauts stuck on the ISS? Haven't those two suffered enough? Now they have to deal with Musk's claim that Biden abandoned them. 😡 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Legendary post by Trudeau. Respect Canada’s sovereignty!!

Republicans just shot down my amendment to ensure we don’t cut Medicaid and kick millions of seniors off of their healthcare.

I don’t wish anything bad on that poor kid, but good lord, concepts of thoughts and prayers for the dimwitted parent.

A line item on DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" set off panic inside a federal agency this week. Either the NLRB is losing its regional office in Buffalo, or DOGE is claiming savings it isn't responsible for. Personally, I'd put my money on the latter. www.huffpost.com/entry/nlrb-o...

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

Good Unity among Dem MOCs who voted against Kash Patel for FBI Director 👇🏾

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I love @repjasmine.bsky.social!

Honestly, what the hell did he expect? I can't believe how stupid people are. #WakeUpPeople

His response to this is unreal. First: he says that Republicans had the same complaints when Biden was in office, and Then: when the crowd rightfully booed that bullshit comparison, he **compares them to J6 rioters.**

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Exactly. Farmers of everyone should have known better. Trump ne

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board
