Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The president has demanded an explanation from Beijing and accused it of aligning itself with Russia in the war. www.ft.com/content/930c...

No Doubt In My Mind! Criminal Behavior Continues…

Elections have consequences

@governorwalz.mn.gov I’m so sorry I missed your birthday!

Over $2T will be owed to Americans with interest, and we'll be calling in our loan.

Save the date! #resist #democracyDefender #04/19/25

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

When the DOJ starts sending armed US marshals to the home of a whistleblower, we know our curtains are on fire

Do better, #Obituaries.

Another disappointing day in the obituaries.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ? Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Remember how companies used Covid inflation as an excuse to jack up prices, do you think they’re going to do the same for Tariffs now? No one will ever know what is truly a passed on cost or just price gouging. The house of cards can’t take much more

#NMAG Raúl Torrez joins 23 states & D.C. in filing a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for abruptly and illegally terminating nearly $11 billion in critical public health grants...

They bought votes and still lost.

This will have a huge impact on state libraries and museums. Yikes!!!—word is, RIP to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The morning has arrived and he’s still speaking. Headed to the Senate floor to join Senator Booker in his marathon speech to stand up for people of this country. Thanks Cory!

Looking for corporate media coverage of the @booker.senate.gov filibuster and finding NONE. Currently live on CSPAN2 and YouTube.

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor. With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President. Go Cory!

Fourteen hours later, he's still going. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Donald Trump is considering a bailout package for American farmers to mitigate the impact of his disastrous tariffs. Donald Trump bailed out farmers during his last term to a tune of over $28 billion, and farm bankruptcies still skyrocketed...sadly, as did farmer suicides.

Tim Walz Holds a Town Hall in Houston, Texas and it’s inspiring! youtu.be/aZck0HxFsGI?...

Hey right-wingers this is your Benghazi moment now. Signal Gate.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but it is incredible how swiftly abortion was pushed out of the political conversation the minute the election was over

As we begin the week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 20 states. I expect additional litigation to be filed this week.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.
