Today, I chatted with the great @katiephang.bsky.social about the state of trans rights and how Democrats must fight back, not only for trans equality but because the GOP is gonna keep hammering away on this thru the Midterms. Check out our full discussion here: www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Greg Abbott’s stalling the TX-18 election to help Trump’s agenda—keeping a safe Dem seat empty for 7 months. @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social isn’t just another name on a ballot—he’s the next-gen fighter. He’s calling Abbott out and ready to raise hell in Congress for people the GOP tries to silence.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Captain Pavlo Ivanov, F-16 pilot, died during a combat mission today. Pavlo was 26 years old. Ukrainian F-16 pilots work in incredibly difficult conditions to defend their land and risk their lives every day. Eternal glory and eternal memory to Ukrainian Hero.

1/9 Just finished Jon Stewart’s convo w/Pete Buttigieg. What started as a discussion on tariffs became a revealing look at chaos-as-strategy, gov’t dysfunction, & what Dems must rethink to lead. Here's what I got #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rHK...

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

No matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their tax cuts for the rich without gutting healthcare and food assistance for the poor — along with other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

Exactly, fraudulent asshole.

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got. Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.

This seems bad

The Musk-Trump fascist junta is waging war on 248 years of U.S. democracy.

Elon Musk and Trump’s tariff advisor Peter Navarro are now fighting publicly, with Navarro attacking Tesla and Musk calling Navarro a “moron” who’s “dumber than a sack of bricks.”

Veterans getting fired, social security is at risk, and Elon is telling you what you don’t need in govt, all while he just got a $6billion space x contract today! He makes money on you!

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

Republicans in Congress aren't holding Donald Trump accountable. So @raskin.house.gov and I are. Tune in: www.youtube.com/live/ElEVeJA...

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Brian Schatz is BLOCKING over 300 Trump admin nominations by refusing to let them pass with unanimous consent. "I don't think we should make anything easy going forward,” he said. BLOCK THEM EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! MORE OF THIS!

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Hard not to be a "PANICAN" when led by someone suffering from severe mental illness

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.
