Step up, stand up, speak out. This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid. Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

To my fellow Canadians: buying Canadian is not just symbolic. If we switch out $25 of U.S. goods per week for Canadian goods, it could contribute up to 0.7 percent to our GDP. This, in light of Doge’s savings of 0.16% of the U.S. budget, delights me.

Clay Thompson - Pierre Poilievre went to Canada's North, made promises about the North, without talking to the leaders of the North. Mark Carney sat down for tea and listened to the leaders of the North. That's Leadership. See the difference, Canada? #cdnpoli

Yep. Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.” apnews.com/article/soci...

It's as though Carney is not afraid of Trump. Unlike career low level politician Poilievre, Carney has played with the 'big boys' before. #Cndpoli #CanadaSky

100% this 🧵I'm teaching constitutional law this semester & just explained to a student that courts aren't well equipped to deal w a Pres who rapidly, persisently bulldozes over laws. The moment demands impeachment. Shame on the Rs who've written that option out of the Constitution for Trump.

Just so this is clear, an unelected group of government employees blackmailed a private organization's security firm to help them break into that private organization's headquarters by threatening to terminate their other contracts. Giving Watergate vibes.

Understand how close we are to this all falling apart. Trump can, arguably, pull security protection from judges at any time. He has already done this to his political enemies. Will any rule against him if their lives are on the line? Anybody who says we are not in a crisis is fooling themselves.
