Records show well-timed trades by executive branch employees and congressional aides. Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the markets.

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Republicans’ budget bill could strip free school meals away from up to 18.3 MILLION CHILDREN. They are taking food out of kids’ mouths so they can give billionaires a tax cut. SHAME.

Trump’s Tax Scam will make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer, while everyday Americans lose their health care and go hungry.

All presidents, including Trump, swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution as they take office. There is no question that the president is required to uphold it. www.google.com/search?q=vid...

HHS is ending funding for four Women's Health Initiative regional centers. Women are HALF of the population. These targeted funding cuts will mean that women get worse care — and that will cost lives. www.knkx.org/public-healt...

Trump's unlawful detention of our students is not an anomaly. They are part of his intentional and coordinated attack on our democracy and constitutional rights. It's time to free Rümeysa, Mahmoud, & every political prisoner whose story hasn't made headlines. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/30/m...

250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings. On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.

“How we change the trajectory of what we’re seeing right now is getting individual Americans to speak out.” Kentucky Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social on how to fight the Trump administration.

Trump doesn’t want to fix our broken immigration system. If he did, he would support popular bipartisan bills like the Dream and Promise Act to provide people with a pathway to citizenship. What he wants is to kidnap legal residents, deport U.S. citizens, and end ALL immigration.

Trump is destroying America’s key economic edge - that the smartest people in the world want to come here to innovate and start businesses.

Trump says he’s unsure whether people in the US are entitled to due process www.rappler.com/world/us-can... via @rappler.com.web.brid.gy

In all 435 congressional districts, our groups are organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help you get started: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

The Qatar Economic Forum is hosting a public session on how to make money off of Trump’s bribery and corruption schemes. This is where we are.

Did he just see the movie?

Trump’s response when asked about due process for citizens and non-citizens, and being questioned on 5th Amendment rights and his duty to uphold the Constitution: “I don’t know?”

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!!

The Trump Administration admitted in court it NEVER should have abducted Mr. Abrego Garcia and is defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return — and Bukele is complicit in this illegal scheme. That's why @kaine.senate.gov and I are forcing a vote on our bill to hold them accountable.

Yesterday I joined my Democratic colleagues on the steps of the Capitol to stand up against the chaotic first 100 days of the Trump administration.

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

Listen to Emily Stenson describe how NIH funding and access to clinical trials saved the life of her daughter, Charlie, who was battling pediatric cancer. This is the life-saving work from the men and women at NIH that Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut.

“If we don’t understand what’s happening and why it’s happening, you can’t be adapting. … You’re just going to suffer,” said a member of NOAA’s scientific advisory board. “We’re going to see huge impacts on infrastructure and lives lost in the U.S.” By @abrahm.bsky.social

Mental Health Awareness Month is a powerful reminder of the daily challenges facing millions of Americans.   It takes all of us to tackle this crisis – and we must redouble efforts to invest in resources and expand care for when, how and wherever anyone needs it.

Last night, I offered an amendment to Republicans’ budget bill to prevent ICE from conducting immigration raids at domestic violence shelters. Every Republican voted no — abandoning DV survivors and enabling their abusers. Shameful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6EH...

Over half of the countries in the European Union plan to trigger an emergency clause allowing them to make defense investments that push them over the bloc's budgetary spending limits.

Overheard in the group chat: William Henry Harrison had a better first 100 days, and he spent 70 of them dead.

Feels weird saying this but probably time to prepare for a recession in the coming months/years and lots of ppl (including the president) will be telling the public that it's fake

We have a lawless president who's spent 100 days tearing up our Constitution and tearing apart our government. Nothing he's done is about efficiency — it's about dismantling vital government services that benefit everyone to rig the system for billionaires like himself and Musk.

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.

THIS THIS THIS

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been a masterclass of cruelty, callousness, chaos, & corruption. He has attacked everyone & everything, except the rising cost of living. YI'll continue to stand in the gap & fight for the dignity, safety, & economic wellbeing of everyone.

All of us can benefit from feeling included, safe, seen and valued 📣! These are simple but powerful concepts, and they are foundational for learning, mental health and well-being ❤️. #InclusiveEducation LGBTQRights #ChildrensRights

We’re proud to endorse the Equality Act and demand equal protection under the law for ALL. “Trans youth deserve to be protected by their governments, they shouldn’t have to be protected from their governments.” - @transequality.bsky.social’s Olivia Hunt

...and he's doing this with his party in control of both houses of congress www.ft.com/content/9d3e...

We talk about bellwether ridings. But based on reactions from so many in other countries today, it seems like our Canadian election was also a bellwether for liberal democracies. #Canada #cdnpoli #cdnelxn Happy to wave my flag today 🇨🇦

Dear god let this man cook.
