Senate Democrats are holding the floor ALL NIGHT to protest 100 days of cruelty, chaos & Trumpian collapse. While most media yawns, Rachel Maddow is shining a light—because truth still matters. This is what resistance looks like. LFG for the Senate Dems 👏🏻 (and Rachel!) @maddow.msnbc.com

Instagram @senchrismurphy, “Corruption on Steroids.” 🚨 Trump, family & friends cash in on the Presidency. 📌 While CEO’s, Foreign Oligarchs, Billionaires & Tech Bros rig the system. 🚨This is no longer authoritarianism—it’s where fascism thrives & dictatorship isn’t a threat but the business model.

So we deport students we believe to be antisemitic and also remove any books from the library at the US Naval Academy that discuss/report on the Holocaust? Many in MAGA are Holocaust deniers. MANY. I don't care how many billionaire Jews back Trump, Trump & MAGA are Nazi admiring anti-semites

Fighting back begins with calling things exactly what they are. The US government is spending $6M of our tax dollars to send Venezuelans to an atrocious slave prison. Leavitt says it’s “pennies on the dollar.” That’s not deportation, it’s human trafficking, on the cheap, apparently. #MomSky 🗣️

Trump's tariffs have taken our economy from the envy of the world to a laughingstock. Congress has the chance to stop him by passing my bipartisan bill. Let's get this done.

Before prices go even higher and millions of working people lose their jobs, Congress must stop this tariff chaos. I'm pushing a bipartisan resolution with @wyden.senate.gov to end Donald Trump's worldwide trade war. It's an immediate response that forces a simple majority vote.

Tonight the Supreme Court made it possible to have m ore cases like Andry's, by requiring that people challenging Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act file individual habeas corpus lawsuits. Many people in detention don't have any money to hire a lawyer. They won't be able to do this.

Add this to the fact that every time Trump golfs at one of his own resorts, he jacks up the hotel rates for the Secret Service. The American people foot the bill—and he pockets the cash. That’s the waste, fraud and abuse DOGE should be exposing.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.
