MN Gov. Tim Walz announced he is embarking on a national tour, focused on doing town halls in districts where Republicans refuse to engage with their voters. Walz said GOP Reps trying to defend Trump are “recognizing this stuff’s really unpopular,” saying that’s why they “quit the town halls.”

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Trump either has to let Musk go for his statements today on eliminating Social Security and Medicare calling Senator Mark Kelly a traitor, or he owns these comments. Feel like we are at a critical moment in this terrible partnership.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Google has removed Black History Month, Women's History Month, and Pride Month from its calendar. If you're not a straight white man, the Trump administration is trying to erase you, and the white men who run America's businesses are helping him do it.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
