A plea. Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?” It’s bigger. It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures. “Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis It’s bigger.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into. It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Let’s be clear: closing Social Security offices, cutting staff, and making it harder for seniors to get information and help IS a benefit cut. We cannot let two billionaires take away Americans' hard-earned benefits.

A Jupiter-sized planet didn’t get swallowed by an expanding red giant, as astronomers once believed. Instead, James Webb Space Telescope uncovered that the planet spiraled inward over time, ultimately plunging into its star in a fiery cosmic demise. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Ralf Crawford (STScI)

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

Trump’s trade war is all pain and no plan—and it's families and small businesses who are suffering from the rising costs. Republicans need to join Democrats and reverse these massive taxes on working Americans.

More than 21 million American citizens do not have documents proving their citizenship readily available. Why would Congress require these documents if so many Americans don’t have them? That's not how a democracy should work. Congress must reject the SAVE Act.

Leah and I closed out the DC rally with 100k there, hopped on a bike, got some McDonalds fries, and are now headed back home to the kids. Feeling so lifted. Millions came out today. Feel good - today was historic. Fascists want us to feel alone. Well, so much for that. We will win. ❤️💪♥️

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell just introduced a bill to reassert Congress's power over tariffs. The Trade Review Act of 2025 says a president must notify Congress about new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition. It requires Congress to approve them within 60 days or they expire.
