AOC nails it! 🔥🔥 " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend social security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country." #MomsForMedicaid

Send in the clown.

Chicago is on to something.

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but can’t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

When you realize the tacky Versailles-wannabe trash on the fireplace is just Chinese polyurethane spray painted gold.

Seattle port commissioner: "We currently do not have any container ships at port right now.” So by Trump’s logic this means we’re making money?

WATCH: Chris Murphy gives a masterclass in how to dismantle the cosplay queen, AKA Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

Watch: Want 45 mins of laughs and pure terror? Watch The Dangerous Ones podcast. I’m in it and it’s freakin naughty! youtu.be/fEcBrjikQlA?...

Rachel on Colbert, Messing with the news.

Trump isn’t gonna like this.

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

🚨BREAKING: Three judge panel with 2 Trump appointees STRIKES DOWN Alabama congressional map for violating Constitution and VRA. Court finds Alabama INTENTIONALLY discriminated against Black voters. Proud of ELG team and our clients in this historic fight! www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

I can’t stress this enough…

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

This…that’s it. 💜 #SheShed

Trump claims gas is $1.98 a gallon. He also claims other prices like eggs are way down. Sorry, Donnie. What’s way down are your poll numbers.

Republicans are desperate to slash Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. But will they have the appetite for it when the most obvious path toward cutting hundreds of billions from the program would hit their own constituents the hardest?

The administration’s incompetence is endangering lives and wrecking our economy.

I have something very personal to share with you. Next month, my new graphic memoir, IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI, will pull back the curtain on my life in the closet—and my pivotal decision to come out. It’s never too late to stand up for who you are. More info: ow.ly/rEO750VEuxt

Elizabeth Warren is calling out hypocrisy when she sees it 👏

Call them what they are: lies.

The new Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano is a millionaire and self-described “DOGE person”. His loyalty lies with his fellow Wall Street CEOs who want to destroy the program, not hard-working Americans who earn Social Security benefits to guarantee a life of dignity.

A U.S. official has confirmed to NPR that the Trump administration is planning to deport migrants to Libya, another step in a crackdown on illegal immigration.

Ed Martin may well be Trump's worst nominee – and that's a tough competition. He can’t be trusted to defend the rule of law. And I won't stop fighting his nomination.

Stay away from JD Vance

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

I don’t blame anyone from Canada whose appetite for visiting the US might have soured. But here in Illinois, we're ready to prove that Midwest nice is the closest thing to Canadian hospitality you can get south of Windsor. Welcome to the Middle of Everything.

“This idea of isolating ourselves and closing off from the world is not going to be good for our country,” one employee of the Labor Department’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) told E. Tammy Kim. “It’s not good economic policy, either.”

I’m urging Transportation Secretary Duffy to take all necessary steps to address ongoing issues at Newark Airport – including the deployment of additional staffing and resources to alleviate the delays and cancellations and restore regular operations.

Rodney Scott, Trump's CBP Nominee, Accused of Covering Up Death of Mexican Father in CBP Custody

One economically illiterate President is forcing a totally thoughtless trade war onto the entire world, pushing our country into a recession while increasing taxes on everyone.   Congress needs to take the matches away from the President who is setting fire to the economy.

🔥 BREAKING: Bristol Myers Squibb shareholders voted today to reject two anti-DEI proposals. One of the proposals called on BMS to "Cease DEI Efforts," and was rejected by shareholder vote 97-2 percent (1% abstained). BMS Board supports "our culture of inclusion" and "all decisions are merit-based."

"A highly unusual thing." @petebuttigieg.bsky.social remarks on Donald Trump's unexplained firing of a NTSB safety investigator.

Rachel Maddow is right.. we must protect journalists, lawyers and the courts. And everyone must stay engaged!

Another win! Maine Gov Janet Mills told the felon, “See you in court” after he threatened to withhold federal nutrition funding over support for transgender athletes Mills can proudly say SHE WON as the USDA has dropped its lawsuit & now the school meal funding is secure STAND YOUR GROUND!

The math is in. Republican plans to slash Medicaid would leave 5.4 million people uninsured, according to a new CBO analysis revealed today by @congressmanboyle.bsky.social. They're not debating policy. They're threatening lives.

Since we’re voting on the Social Security Administrator, I wanted to re-up my thoughts. I’m a hard NO on Bisignano.

Riggs: My opponent—there are a hundred counties in North Carolina. He picked four of the most Democratic counties and challenged the military and overseas voters in those four counties only. We were gratified that the federal court yesterday upheld every one of the arguments we made..

Walter Cronkite, who was described as the most trusted man in America, once said: “Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.” Paramount: Stand up for a free press and our democracy. Do not capitulate to Trump's dangerous move to authoritarianism.

Our daily resistance is strong. It works & is historic. Keep up our fight against authoritarianism & maga. #WeAreDemocracy #DemocracyNotDictatorship Full interview here. youtu.be/PmDxy_RDrQA?... #demvoice1 #USDemocracy
