The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

Hey, go do this, please. I have health insurance through the ACA, and if this rule went into effect, it would mean that while I'd still be paying a ridiculous amount in premiums, the plans I'd be able to get wouldn't actually cover my health needs.

Democrats aren’t backing down — they’re doubling down. They just added 5 new dates to the People’s Town Hall series because apparently MAGA Republicans would rather hide behind Fox News than face real Americans. They’re scared of questions. Dems are showing up with answers. Let’s 👏🏾 freaking 👏 go👏🏻

When Social Security wrongly declares someone dead, it ruins their lives. Imagine, in one Trump administration keystroke, losing your income, your health insurance, access to your bank account, your credit cards, your home, and more.

The House just passed the SAVE Act—but we see it for what it is: a blatant attack on our voting rights. At a time when our jobs, schools, and vital services are under attack, working people won’t be silenced. This fight is far from over. #ProtectVotingRights

Musk has tried to spin providing Starlink as charity, posting that “Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air-traffic-control connectivity.” However, FAA officials quietly and quickly located tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal.

I’ve got two Gen Z kids, and I can tell you—neither of them is going to line up to work in an iPhone factory. That’s just not how Gen Z rolls. If we’re serious about rebuilding U.S. manufacturing, we need to invest in training and build high-skill, high-value products—not chase cheap labor.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

The SAVE Act, a.k.a the Save the Republicans' Asses Act, is a shameless attempt to block Americans—especially married women—from voting. Requiring birth certificates to cast a ballot? That’s not election security. That’s voter suppression.

They talk about dictators while helping Trump deport people straight back into their hands. Rubio, Salazar, Giménez & Diaz-Balart are enabling human rights violations—against their community. You don’t get to respond to us by placing a pathetic billboard while selling out those who trusted you.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

Now they see it. Trump isn’t fixing the system—he’s breaking it. So many Americans are saying ‘enough is enough,’ and my Democratic colleagues and I are united in not only pushing back, but putting forth people-centered policy that actually makes a difference.
