It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Stopped by daycare this weekend to replace their toilet that's just not cutting it. Always glad to help out the amazing teachers who work hard for our kids every day.

🚨NEW: Federal Judge Lauren King has blocked Trump’s executive order in an evening ruling to prohibit gender-affirming care for trans Americans, deeming it unconstitutional. REPOST to thank Judge King for standing up for the trans community!

Speakers urged attendees to sign petitions but also to swamp local government meetings with their concerns and worries. “We want to make the kind of ‘good trouble’ that was called for by John Lewis,” said Donna Sinclair, a community organizer from Washougal, quoting the late civil rights activist.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

I'm hearing that right now, Trump is firing researchers at VA. Trump & Elon need to reverse course on this IMMEDIATELY—this across-the-board firing threatens to decimate so much of the lifesaving research our veterans depend on: suicide prevention, burn pit exposure, and more.

Congress is meant to be a check on Presidential abuse of power—it’s the way our democratic system of checks & balances works. It’s time for Republicans to say “enough” and stand with the people they represent and against the corruption & lawlessness we’ve seen from Trump & Elon.

Whether it's air traffic controllers or cancer researchers, federal workers deserve better than being pushed out the door with a nine-day pressure tactic that comes with no clarity, no details, and a lot of questions left unanswered.

Trump has given Elon Musk access to our government's highly-sensitive central payment system—and he's vowing to use it to cut off funding people are counting on. What will Musk target next? Cancer research? Food banks? Housing assistance? Veterans' benefits? This is not ok.

🚨🚨Trump is illegally mass firing the independent inspectors general who are the nonpartisan watchdogs we rely on to root out fraud, waste, and corruption in government. Ask yourself: why would Trump want to fire the people tasked with tackling corruption? abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

It shouldn't be too much to ask for senators to oppose unconditional pardons for people found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police officers. I'm introducing a simple, one-line resolution condemning these pardons & will try to pass it on the Senate floor this week.

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, calling her “the enemy of the people” and hinting he may try to take her off the air. REPOST if you stand with @maddow.msnbc.com against Donald Trump!
