Donald Trump's admin will stop at nothing to restrict access to health insurance. Their newest effort makes it harder to enroll through state marketplaces and limits options. That's why I'm leading my fellow governors in demanding Dir. Nelson withdraw the proposed rule.

Trump has rejected the Supreme Court’s decision to return a US man who he sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What this means is, Trump is now able to force anyone in the US into camps or black sites, something the US has been doing to noncitizens around the world for decades.

Everyone must take great comfort that whatever they say, like, follow or comment on social media, including here, is now conflated with govt data stolen by errand boy Elon Musk, in Peter Thiel's Palantir's data surveillance service, which also includes corporate platform data and facial recognition.

Good trade policy means protecting US farmers and workers, selling more American goods abroad, and lowering costs for families. None of that is what Donald Trump has done with his tariffs.

Relieved to hear the suspected arsonist is now in custody. To wake up on the first night of Passover like this is deeply disturbing, and we're keeping @governor.pa.gov and his family in our thoughts. Bless you to the first responders who acted quickly to keep the Shapiro family safe.

🧵 I just want to clear up some misconceptions about what Social Security actually is and how it works. You, as an individual, do not have an "account" with SSA where your FICA contributions have been saved for when you retire. It's not at all comparable to an investment account.

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

Many native-born American immigration lawyers have received official letters from the government demanding that they self-deport. Apparently DHS used a list of aliens including many who listed their attorneys’ contact info by way of a care-of address. The country’s in the very best of hands.

We’re heartbroken to learn about the arson at the Governor’s Residence. No family should ever have to wake up to that kind of fear, especially just hours after celebrating the first night of Passover. We’re deeply grateful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe.

This both is moral and also practically sound posturing and agenda setting if you care about workers in America and esp if you’re the leader of a noteworthy union with some political muscle and it is a shame that other big names in that sphere couldn’t seem to crack the very easy code on seeing that

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.
