4/4/25💪Murphy is the smartest male Democrat currently, speaking truth articulately ( #AOC overall) 🇺🇸

Many older and disabled recipients don’t use the platform. Now what?

That’s what the Nazi party told the people of Germany to do in the beginning too.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

In an executive order issued Tuesday, President Trump took direct aim at state laws that support environmental justice, greenhouse gas emissions or that disincentivize carbon pollution. (via @vermontpublic.org)

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social begging you to stop 🛑 the SAVE Act.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social all hands on deck to STOP SAVE Act!

@aoc.bsky.social how do we stop The SAVE Act?

@duckworth.senate.gov Please Senator Duckworth-STOP the Save Act!

@booker.senate.gov PLEASE Senator Booker- hold a filibuster to STOP The Save Act!

Most American citizens are going to be disenfranchised because the SAVE Act has been passed by REPUBLICANS🤬

“When you start to fiddle around with history, that isn’t what makes a country great. It makes us weaker,” one historian says. capitalbnews.org/trump-smiths...

Now this…is not good.

Re The Atlantic, 11/23, “the Patriot”: [Dunford, Kelly, Mattis, Tillerson, Mattis] attempted to…keep the Pres’s most dangerous impulses in check. (According to AP, Kelly&Mattis made a pact w/ea other that 1 of them would remain in country at all times, so Pres would never be left unmonitored.)

@muellershewrote.com Does Trump’s request for a military parade have to be approved first by Congress?

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

This is horrifying!

Frighteningly spot on…

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

Oh, how I miss President Obama and competent government. 🇺🇸

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

Imagine a pres who gave a fireside chat to ease our fear & uncertainty. In Pres Roosevelt’s 1st Fireside Chat, 1933 (historymatters.gum.edu/d/5199/%E2%8... ), he speaks to logic, empathy, a plan, accountability. Our next Pres better get started on her “Chat”.

Thank you Liz Oyer for speaking truth to power. You're a monumental hero.

The Republicans are really out to destroy more female voting rights!

This is not a partisan moment. This is a moral moment. On April 5th, millions of people took part in protests across all 50 states and globally. This #CupOfJoe goes to them, for taking a stand against the current facist regime. 🔗 shorturl.at/TUqTL

From one day to the next, children separated from their routine and care. Parents without child care. This is cruel and irresponsible. Head Start federal office serving Michigan shuts without notice michiganadvance.com/briefs/head-...

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

@maddow.msnbc.com Hands Off in Rochester NY!!
