AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

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. It’s not complicated—just common sense. And we need more of it.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans tried to kill the ACA and John McCain's thumbs down..... #ACASavesLives

Walz: "It's so obscene that he would put a mock classroom -- we all know he's never been in one. He wouldn't last for a minute. He's surrounded by people who know nothing about education. They want to make this about bureaucracy and cutting. This is about children."

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it. It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.

Shame on these lawyers. Grow a spine.

Lawyers for the Trump regime have decided that the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant. The Trump administration’s perception of presidential power dismisses a key provision of the Fourth Amendment — the legal requirement for a court order…

If you help Judge Crawford win this race, it'll make Republicans much less scared of Elon Musk.

Putin after a long conversation with Trump, has ordered all civilian areas in Ukraine to be targeted, here residential areas in Kropyvnytskyi can be seen on fire after dozens of Russian strikes on civilians.

Chief Justice John Roberts Issues Rare Statement Rebuking Donald Trump This type of statement is extremely rare for a Justice of the Supreme Court to issue, especially against a sitting President. Aaron Parnas Reporting Mar 18, 2025 meidasnews.com/news/chief-j...

Whoooohoo!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Elon Musk inherited millions from a rich father who owned a gem mine to cover for his ineptitude. Donald Trump inherited over $400,000,000 from a rich father to cover for his ineptitude. But they both want to penalize you for not making it on your own.

I stand 100% with Jack Schlossberg and his Grandfather.

Call to action: nationwide protests and sit-ins. Saturday April 5th. “REMOVE REVERSE RECLAIM” #3E #USprotests

The crass ineptitude and chaise of #Trump his Administration and #DOGE is beyond belief... Hitler would be proud and I'm sure a Putin is that his two meat puppets are working to plan. Traitorous twatwaffles!!

Looking forward to the Trump administration denouncing this breakthrough as “woke DEI anti-white bias” and throwing the doctors in jail

My Hero 🇺🇦 How I wish we had a president with half his Moxie Never Give Up, Never Give In We live by the same code I always have & at time it's been very painful I see the pain he suffers every damn day. I have cried for him & have gotten chills because of him President Zylensky is the Man

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Judge Crawford: I think that is exactly why Elon Musk is spending millions of dollars on these phony attack ads against me and trying to get Brad Schimel on the Supreme Court. We need to have a Wisconsin Supreme Court that’s working for the people of Wisconsin, not one that is working for Elon Musk

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 🔥 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Members of the DOGE squad lied and tried to force their way into the downtown D.C. headquarters of U.S. African Development (USADF). The DOGE squad was accompanied by Peter Marocco — a Trump toady and member of the MAGA mob who illegally entered the U.S. Capitol during the…

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
