BREAKING: I’m demanding answers from the White House and Office of Government Ethics about whether anyone in the Trump family or administration profited off of this tariff chaos through insider trading.

I am a nyc teacher and I am in need of clothespins and command strip hooks to create a clothesline to hang student work for our student work exhibition. Please repost. Thanks www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

The latest piece by Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social) notes that local news outlets are documenting the public's alarm over Trump's economic recklessness. Right-wing propagandists can try to cover up the gravity of what's happening, but it won't work.

Thank you, @blumenthal.senate.gov At least you are doing something. I hope other senators follow suit.

🧵1 Parents of kids with disabilities are terrified over the lack of support & resources available due to the chaos within the Department of Education. There is a lack of clarity on services & accommodations being cut. Our most vulnerable learners deserve better. tinyurl.com/DOE-chaosm

Doug Jones reading this live just now was a wake-up call. Niemöller’s words aren’t just history—they’re a mirror. If we keep “shaking our heads” without action, we’ll find there’s no one left to stand with us. Speak up. Get involved. Before it’s too late. @dougjones.bsky.social

The SPLC is glad to see Senate Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov standing against the anti-voter SAVE Act 👏. If we don’t reject this bill, it will be harder for millions of eligible people to vote. Learn more:www.splcenter.org//g... #FreedomToVote

On Saturday, April 5, we're joining thousands of people in a nationwide day of action to say: Hands off our Social Security. Hands off our public schools. Hands off our Medicare. Hands off our jobs. Find a #HandsOff event near you & join the fight to #ProtectOurKids: www.mobilize.us/handsoff

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP package of bills for the week just failed because a bipartisan group of Republicans and Dems sank an effort by Speaker Johnson to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents. Rep. Pettersen - “ Don't fuck with moms. “

Family caregivers are heroes. But even heroes need help. I thank Senator Capito, Rep. Cammack, and Rep. Magaziner for their partnership on my Alleviating Barriers for Caregivers Act. We must remove the burden of red tape for caregivers and get them support and services they need.

We all need to help Judge Judge Susan Crawford keep the Wisconsin Supreme Court away from Elon Musk and his tech bro gang's favorite guy, Brad Schimel. If you want to help BEAT ELON then please sign up to phone bank for Susan right now. Thanks!

400+ people cheering for Susan Crawford as @crawfordforwi.bsky.social arrives for @walworthcodems.bsky.social noon canvass kickoff today Walworth County was Trump +23 (61-38 in 2024)

Judge Susan Crawford spent her career standing up to insurance and drug companies trying to rip us off. Her opponent sued to overturn the ACA as AG. If he had been successful, nearly 1 million Wisconsinites would have lost their healthcare. Vote for Judge Crawford on April 1st to protect our care.

This will end with kids dying and being left damaged and disabled for life by diseases basic science has cured. RFK Jr will be gone sooner or later (ideally sooner) but nothing will bring those kids back or repair the damage done to their families.

IN ONE WEEK: We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement — because the fight against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump is just starting. Please join us next Saturday: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

Wikler: Susan Crawford’s victory will send a message to the entire country that Elon Musk’s illegal vote-buying schemes will trigger an electoral avalanche in the other direction. If we can make that clear, maybe we can shut this down before it infects the rest of the country in 2026 and beyond.

It’s GOTV weekend in Wisconsin. You can help us stop Elon Musk from buying a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and ending the liberal majority in this battleground state. Wisconsin residents: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/2025_s... Everybody else: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

WI STATE JOURNAL Wisconsin State Journal: “We’re endorsing Crawford as a needed check for Wisconsin on the worst instincts of a president who, by the day, seeks to surpass his legitimate powers.” Note: this paper endorsed Brad Schimel in 2014 and 2018. Not this time. madison.com/opinion/edit...

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Dr. Jill Underly fights for investments in schools to reduce class sizes. Her opponent, Brittany Kinser, supports Trump’s dismantling of the Dept. of Education & wants to drain $ from public schools to use for private school tuition. Vote Jill Underly on April 1. www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

Not only is Trump still championing the violent insurrectionists who attacked our Capitol Police—but just this week, President Trump speculated about compensating people who committed crimes on January 6th with YOUR taxpayer dollars!

📌Judge Crawford has locked up violent criminals, shielded seniors from scams, and stood up to both corporations and government when our freedoms were on the line. ✅ Vote for Judge Susan Crawford. Our future & democracy depends on it.
