When some people see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, they think, “Oh, they aren’t qualified.” When I see a Black pilot or a woman astronaut, I think, “Wow, they had to work their ass off twice as hard to get here —now that’s being more than qualified.”

Hey Mary, guess what the #1 killer of women is? Spoiler alert, it's not transgender people. If you want to protect women, focus on something that's actually useful like accessible care for cancer prevention and abortion access. Ah, I forgot, you voted to cut access to women's care too.

More evidence many innocent people may be getting tortured in a Salvadoran jail because of the actions of the Trump regime. Despicable and evil. apple.news/A6Z0-A4cwSUq...

My own 84 year old Mom is terrified something will go wrong with her benefits. That’s the goal, right?

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

This is exactly right. My guess is, especially restaurant workers and very small business owners in the service field like stylists, tattoo artists, etc

The #IRS, stripped to the bare bones, will not audit the rich, who will lawyer up. They will go after the middle and lower classes. Again, extracting money from those who least have it, and letting the rich gain more. Plutocracy over democracy. 1/2

Too tired to explain fully now, but Trump’s defamation suit against Gannett, Des Moines Register, Selzer is definitely part of a strategy to get the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule Times v. Sullivan, a landmark case that protects newspapers from frivolous defamation suits. 1/ #LawFedi

'Real America' Won't Mind If They Miss a Social Security Check—Lutnick www.newsweek.com/howard-lutni...

Right, first Lutnick hates his 94 year old mother. Second - my own mom could not survive - like every recipient - without her Social Security money. WE PAID INTO IT, it’s not the government’s money!!!!

🟠🤡says: I’m not going to touch Social Security. Lying as usual. It has already started with closing offices, firing employees. Denigrates Social Security as a ponzi scheme - that hopefully was a fail.

Reminder that ending the Affordable Care Act is part of Project 2025. The ACA saves lives; Republicans don't care if people die from their policies.

When JD Vance runs for president, I hope law enforcement will remember that he shilled for the president who pardoned defendants who assaulted police officers. No matter how he tries to justify it, that's what he did.

Trump pardoned violent January 6 attackers from Iowa. What are Joni Ernst, Ashley Hinson, Kim Reynolds, and other elected officials doing to keep Iowans safe from these offenders?

As DNC chair, I'm committed to leading a party that works hand-in-hand with Stephanie and labor leaders across the country. Democrats win when they earn the trust of working people. The union movement is the Democratic Party’s indispensable partner in that fight.

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵
