🇺🇦🍕 President Zelensky shared pizza with children in a shelter during the “Future of Ukraine” awards ceremony.

Who did this? 😂

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

ACTIONS MEET CONSEQUENCES… North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—now he’s denying the state’s FEMA request. Again. Reminder: Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) voted against FEMA funding on September 25, 2024.

NBC News confirms: The chief of staff to DNI Tulsi Gabbard asked analysts to revise an intelligence assessment on the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua — after it contradicted Trump's claims to justify deportations — to shield Trump and Gabbard from political criticism. @msnbc.com

As lawyers like to say, res ipsa loquitur. The thing speaks for itself.

The House budget is a health care cataclysm for America. 15 million Americans will lose their health care. That's the total combined population of: West Virginia Hawaii New Hampshire Wyoming Vermont DC Alaska North Dakota South Dakota Delaware Rhode Island Montana Maine

Be more like Marc Elias. He exemplifies what it means to be a “fighter.” It’s that attitude of acknowledging the fear, flipping the source of it bird, and then walking toward it, 100% invested in victory. There are only a handful of people in politics right now that inspire me. Marc is #1

So many layers of corruption.

Representative Ted Lieu for the win. #USDemocracy

Just like with Covid those watching who actually understand what is happening know that we haven’t even seen the impact yet. The ripples haven’t started to turn into waves yet and they will. America is about to go through some things in a way that many do not even remotely understand.

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of NC Alliance for Retired Americans and VoteVets AF, my firm has filed an appeal to the Fourth Circuit to block the Republicans' efforts to steal a North Carolina state Supreme Court election. Follow Democracy Docket for full details. www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

POINT OF ORDER: I just can’t let this go. I won’t let this go. Four service members died and our president, our leader, has said nothing. They died in Europe and Europeans honored our fallen solders. Our president, vice president, crickets. I’m disgusted still.

FYI

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

If you think #Felon47 is intentionally trying to crash the US economy... You'd probably be right. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

The people are awake. The people are angry. And the people are organized. 📍 Chicago, Illinois #HANDSOFF

CNN — More than 275,000 layoffs were announced last month, reaching a level not seen since the pandemic, according to a new report published Thursday. This is PRIOR to the largest Tariffs ever.

At the #HandsOff protest at Bryant Park in NYC. There are too many people to count… and also bagpipes.

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it." -Judge L Hand May we rise in the spirit and do what is necessary to protect our nation.

April 5th... We need at least 100,000+ in D.C., and 25,000+ at EVERY STATE CAPITOL… If we are going to do this, LET'S DO THIS! Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

My Latest: Cory Booker showed us what courage looks like by standing up and speaking out in one’s town square. He showed us how it can help shape reality. He demonstrated that it can inspire others and thus can make a real difference in the fight for democracy.

All Chinese food will have an additional 45% spice tax, 23% noodle tax, and the possible 130% tax on soy based sauces.

The White House clarified to CNBC’s Eamon Javers that the tariff rate on Beijing comes in addition to existing 20% tariffs on Chinese imports, meaning the true tariff rate on China is 54%.

Chinese suppliers make up 70-80 percent of Walmart’s merchandise” according to the Alliance for American Manufacturing. 34% Tariff for ALL Chinese imports.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Today his tariff tantrums will be on full display… what do we call it? #Tariffpocalypse ##Tariffpalooza

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!
