Vaping companies have taken a page out of Big Tobacco’s playbook to get kids hooked on nicotine and fuel a nationwide youth vaping crisis.   We’re suing to hold the nation’s largest vape distributors accountable and make these companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars. vimeo.com/1056832078/b...

I'm taking legal action to fight the Trump administration's efforts to gut the CFPB.   The CFPB protects Americans and ensures companies are following our consumer protection laws.   Eliminating it will hurt everyday people and benefit bad actors and billionaires like Elon Musk.

This is shameful. Vice Chair Alvarado has been in public service for decades, and Congressman Lawler's appalling comments to him are exactly what they look like.   Apologize, Congressman.

#4NATIONS FACE-OFF FINAL ‼️ Jordan Binnington, Colton Parayko and Team Canada take on Team USA at 7 p.m. CT on @espn and @ESPNPlus 🇺🇸🇨🇦 [The mentioned accounts, ESPN and ESPN+, do not yet have an official equivalent on Bluesky. -Nas🍃]

Foreign governments especially in Europe need to internalize, the US position now is not "we're squishy and reluctant about opposing Putin," it's "Putin is good and right and we support everything he's doing and we're allies with him, not you."

You can tell Trump is lying when his lips are moving. "[B]ill Trump endorsed would make over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. [E]ndorsement came hours after Trump said [on] Fox News he wouldn’t allow cuts to social welfare programs, including Medicaid." truthout.org/articles/tru...

ANd let’s be clear TRUMP will own the Medicaid and SSN cuts. NOT MIKE JOHNSON that he will blame. TRUMP HAS TO SIGN THE BILL INTO LAW. THE SECOND HE DOES HE OWNS IT

It's very possible to find 3 Republicans who won't cut Medicaid but if everyone goes along with Trump's lie that they aren't cutting it, it's WAY harder.

The House Republicans’ plan to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for the rich would slash incomes for the bottom 40% See impact by state www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

The game is this. They're going to make the largest cuts to Medicaid ever. They're going to uninsure millions if not 10s of millions and they're going to say they're just adding work requirements. They'll kill thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, with paperwork. punchbowl.news/archive/2202...

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Gov. Pritzker…”My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America — and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” he said. “I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my ⭐️obligations⭐️.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/19/g...

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

You should beware stanning any politician but Pritzker is one of the few Democrats who I think has come out better in the last few months

Gov Pritzker gets it and articulates the crisis perfectly.

The rapidity with which I am becoming a Pritzker stan ...

Now, more than ever, we need a leader like Gov. Pritzker, not the clown currently in the White House.

👉 Gutting Medicaid is INHUMANE 🏥 70 million people rely on it. Slashing it is not policy—it is a DEATH sentence. Governor Pritzker is spot on in his State of the State speech. WE MUST FIGHT BACK NOW. 📢 CALL 👉 PROTEST 👉 ORGANIZE Let’s remind them we're still here! If you AGREE 🔁 💙 ✅ #Resist

You need to watch this great and important speech from Governor Pritzker www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2fhPXAs/

So, after a month of Peesident El Humpo Orangeholio the entirety of the resistence are: AOC, Buttigieg and Pritzker. Neither of them being a bad option, but really there should be more. There should by now be a race among dozens of future resistence leaders.

Outstanding...someone at least gets it. #Pritzker

Governor of Illinois, Pritzker:

Gov. Pritzker nails it.

He probably would. That being said, it shows how cowardly they happen to be. It makes Pence -- PENCE!!! -- look courageous by comparison.

I’ve seen some strong senators and governors getting vocal about the orange stain today. I think we will see much more pushback going forward. Even Pence stepped up to publicly reprimand Trump today. We need strong leaders.

Props to Pence for speaking out I guess, but if you ever catch me calling a guy that tried to kill me “Mr. President,” just take me out back and put me down like old yeller

How will Lachlan Murdoch and his Fox News team report Mike Pence contradicting Trump on the origin of the Ukraine war? Attack Pence? This is big stuff. The Breakfast Show is a few hours away… they will be huddling… do they stand by the President’s clear untruths? Or report fairly?

First and foremost, Pence fulfilled his constitutional duty in the midst of an armed insurrection. He didn’t get in the car, he stayed and certified the votes while there was a gallows outside ,with his name on it.👏 Now, he calls 45 out on the big lie about Ukraine.👏 Pence: 2 Rest of GOP: 0

Trump 45’s VP Pence posted: “Mr. President, Ukraine did not ‘start’ this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.”

Pence calling-out Trump's lie about Ukraine is good, but before I get to celebrating Pence leaving the dark side, I have to ask where he was for the tens of thousands of lies Trump pushed in office last time and all those he's told since.

🤮 Trump boasts of "successful negotiations" with Russia

❌ Ukrainian General Staff denies Putin's claims on Russians breaking through into Ukraine from Kursk Oblast

Until we join NATO, we can only rely on ourselves and increase our own military capabilities — President Zelensky

“I have started negotiations with European leaders, and I believe that they will be ready to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine if the US does not do so,” - President Zelenskyy

Briefly about the current situation

Every day now is an important day to stand strong with Ukraine against russian agression 🇺🇦 Share this for everybody not to forget that their support is very important for Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦

This is what Ukrainian defenders are facing every day🇺🇦
