I recently came across VA's Advisory Committees site. In review of recent meeting minutes, it appears there is very little to none public input/veteran attendance. Where is the the "people's voice" ? www.va.gov/ADVISORY/Adv... (Use this link to get to individual committees and their documents)

They know exactly what they're doing, and they still choose inaction. The most vulnerable keep voting them in, but without money or power, they’re ignored—because only those who can pay get real attention.

AOC - '' When Trump talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror''

"You shouldn't have to be out in the streets, but I'm also gonna encourage you to do it. Because damn it, this is wrong."-Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) When you have no choice, you have to be out in the streets !

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

I wrote about how social media platforms can combat hate and harassment without censorship if they actually want to. X has no interest, but others could do a lot more. Gift link:

one senator insisted on seeing his constituent one that’s all it took to apply pressure what the ever living fuck are the rest of y’all doing???

Social Security has NEVER missed a payment in almost a century. Social Security WORKS.

Do you remember how everyone on here was lambasting Schumer for refusing to use the nuclear option of shutting down the government? The tanking economy may have pushed Schumer out of your memory. Funny thing is, because the Dems stayed out of the fight, Trump now can't blame them for this crash.

Remember those big law firms Trump strong-armed into giving him $1bn in pro bono legal services? Turns out he intends them to negotiate trade deals, helping DOGE and even defending Trump himself if he’s under investigation. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

Every sensible country should be taking these steps now. However, Britain is opting to cut university jobs and discourage foreign visitors instead.

A French University is funding a Safe Place For Science program meant to recruit scientists who cannot continue their work in the US. www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/a...

I have been a disability advocate for over 20 years. I am appalled at a high-ranking government official so blatantly saying that if you are disabled, your life is worthless. People with autism work, love, and lead fully functioning, happy lives. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPxT...

UnitedHealth stock is down 23% so far today. Its worst day of trading since 1998. A great start! apnews.com/article/stoc...

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

BREAKING: Senator meets with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador amid court fight over his return to U.S. after mistaken deportation.

Next job is to get Kilmar out and back to the US. Van Hollen is a courageous man.

China has stopped buying LNG from the U.S. Have fun with this, Texas.

MAGA soybean farmers who voted for the orange felon are now begging him to end his vindictive trade war as it will badly devastate them. Don’t cry now, it’s what you chose, you’re finding out.

Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia in San Salvador. 💚

JUST IN: China’s imports of US liquefied natural gas have completely stopped for more than 10 weeks, according to shipping data showing how the Sino-American trade war has spread to energy co-operation. — FT

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
