Together, we must protect our students and our communities. We won’t let anyone hurt our students or take away opportunities from our families so Trump and Musk can ensure billionaires continue paying less in taxes than educators, nurses, or firefighters. Click below! It’s easy and URGENT ‼️

The Democratic Party needs to move forward under new leadership. @schumer.senate.gov, please do the right thing. You had “the talk” with Biden. He stepped down. The majority of the country, and your own caucus, is now having “the talk” with you. Goose 🤝 gander -The Reformers- If you agree… +…

Read this article. You will see where Felon 45 got ‘his’ idea to seize the phones of people entering the US, and expelling them for their private thoughts or activities. That’s right folks. That is what Putin does. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/arson...

Congress is in recess this week—every member should be home holding town halls & engaging w/voters. Republicans had different plans: • Don’t show up • Make it Republicans-only • Keep it a secret • Call cops on their own constituents They’re not interested in democracy. They’re hiding from it.

The real reason Donald Trump wants to eliminate the US Department of Education. Look at his favorability rating with white men and women who have college degrees versus those that don't. Fascism thrives on an uneducated electorate, that lack certain critical thinking skills. stay in school folks!

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections. Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS? I do!

What is this? It’s a threat to all employees. It sure looks like the EO is trying to give OPM the authority to determine any employee’s suitability. That is- if OPM deems an employee as not suitable they could make employment decisions without following civil service protections and due process.

No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Great piece by PBS.

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

This is absolutely impacting us. No paper for the copier, returning to the office (but no supplies, monitors, or chairs), and no field equipment. The DOGE cuts are wasting taxpayer money, not saving it. At the same time Elon’s companies continue to get contracts. Conservation over corporations.

They shopped their cases before a single judge when challenging Biden era policies, and they got nationwide injunctions. Now the shoe’s on the other foot. So no, sorry. You don’t get to change the rules mid-game.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This perfectly sums up his delusion… to understand him, and effectively destroy him, you must understand his delusion. He actually believes that he is a great savior, doing great things. Nothing hurts him more than being forced to see the delusion and confront it. www.yahoo.com/news/richest...

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.
