DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

The massive problem here is that without due process they can't ‼️prove they're citizens or here legally‼️ We're going on Stephen Miller's say-so that they are here illegally! Do you trust his judgement? Because his criteria is the color of their skin Stand up & Speak Out. #OnYourSide

Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing. Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more. The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

If ICE knocks on your door and says they have a warrant, ask if it's an administrative warrant or judicial warrant. ICE issues administrative warrants, which you don't have to comply with. #resist #ICE

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

It was once inconceivable to think America could be so heartlessly cruel that it would deport a child with cancer But now the US has done it-twice To make matters worse The children are US citizens America seems to be doing it regularly-to our own kids And these are just the ones we know about

To recap: —Cost to have a baby: $33K —Cost for annual childcare: $20K —Cost of median house: $419K Meanwhile, Trump's "solution" to the decrease in birth rates? Give parents $5000 to have a baby. This isn't just performative—it's offensively stupid. Moreover, here's what MAGAs WON'T do 1/2

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent. That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Cannot be stated enough that Donald Trump sued “60 Minutes” based on the false claim that they didn’t publish a problematic answer Kamala Harris gave to a question about Israel. Of course, the truth is they DID publish the answer and the answer was also totally fine. Textbook frivolous lawsuit.
