Washington Democrats mourn the lives lost in Kentucky and Missouri from the recent deadly tornadoes. We urge everyone in a position to help our neighbors in these states to consider supporting the following organizations which are helping survivors on the ground. 🧵

Incompetent is the current administration’s byword.

Connecticut people looking for work...

So frustrating.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

"No one is spared— not the children, persons with disabilities, nursing mothers, journalists, health professionals, aid workers, or hostages. Since breaking the ceasefire, Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians— peaking on 18 March 2025 w/ 600 casualties in 24 hrs, 400 of whom were children.”

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners. xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.

Immoral.

Trump administration has suspended an air-quality monitoring program at national parks across the country. The program collects data on levels of harmful air pollutants, including ozone and particulate matter, at the 63 national parks in the USA.

Demonic

He's not smart

Your School House Rock moment......

By all means

I dropped my account then.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins pushed back on reports his department would slash over 80,000 jobs, claiming internal memos reflected only “goals.” Oh, great so you’re planning to cut 80,000 jobs but just haven’t done it yet. That’s reassuring.

Yes indeed.

Love this!!

The Dept. of Justice is slashing funding for crime victim support programs—putting survivors at risk and gutting critical services. Republicans love to talk about “law and order,” but this is what abandoning victims looks like.

NEW: Thirteen UConn students’ visa records have been restored after federal officials terminated them, the university said Monday. The news comes after the Trump administration backtracked on the student visa policy in court Friday. My latest, with Natasha Sokoloff — www.ctpost.com/news/article...

We literally fought an entire war about tying the executives hands

As I will tell anyone who looks like they might be interested, I was active and healthy until the day I couldn't stand from the squat I did to zip my 6 year old's jacket. I was diagnosed with dermatomyositis in January, 1992, and my life has never been the same.

Interesting fact of the day: Trump has mentioned former President Joe Biden an average of four times every single day of his presidency 453 times in total since taking office. Biden lives rent-free in Trump’s mind.

We must not stop speaking up. Hearing so many powerful voices–from American families to congressional leaders–has left me filled with hope for the fights and work ahead.

A reminder that today is Tax Day and that Democrats are working to lower costs for hard-working families while Republicans work to give tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Abolish ICE

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

Musk and his staffers are weaponizing federal data to remove immigrants from housing and jobs. This sets a dangerous precedent—one that won’t stop here. The information they’ve collected will soon be used against all of us.

He's such a bad leader.

Would someone with power please do something all ready?!

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

Huh! So I heard this man's name today & thought "Huh! That sounds like whoever named him spoke Arabic!" & look at this series of facts I just learned about Nayib Bukele's father - the world is a wild & tiny & there is apparently no limit to how over-written this season is going to be.
