The Trump administration’s inhumane practice of deporting people in chains is utterly shameful! It is not only a violation of human rights but also a grave attack on human dignity. The United Nations must take a strong stand against this disgraceful act!

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It’s incredible that Trump’s people say the answer to bird flu is supposedly “better biosecurity” while they’re firing the biosecurity people.

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration. Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

I get that Trump & Elon are slashing federal jobs, but how are they deciding who gets laid off? The Trump administration is firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees—the ones who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure. An area already stretched thin. What could possibly go wrong?
