Sen Patty Murray always speaks the truth

Amazing how every Trump rally gets wall-to-wall coverage — but when 36,000 people show up to protest him with Bernie and AOC, it barely makes a headline. We get endless diner stories about ‘forgotten’ Trump voters. Where are the stories of Americans left behind by the GOP?

Let no good deed go unpunished. We let the men’s names become ours out of love,goodness and efficiency. Now those same men, at least 50%of them are taking away our right to vote and what all unless we have enough money and time to jump through hoops. Hola‼️

How much did they pay for this special dispensation that small businesses will not receive?

🧵 What does the Missouri Constitution say about sending taxpayer money to private religious schools? Missouri Constitution Article IX - Education Section 8 Prohibition of public aid for religious purposes and institutions.

Serious ⁉️ We shouldn’t have to pay to vote. It’s a right. Several countries automatically add citizens to the national electoral rolls on reaching voting age. Why don’t we do a version of that and save this drama? If Iceland, Germany, Sweden, Israel, Finland and Chile can manage it, why can’t we?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX. But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.

Just your Daily Reminder: Executive Orders are just memos wrapped in fancy packaging. Stop treating them like something they aren’t

Ok sorry but getting on my soapbox to say that this isn’t a u-turn or a 180 or even a pause on tariffs. The MASSIVE tariffs are gone but BIG tariffs are still in place. And more so than before last week. Frame it right.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

Please wrap your brain around these facts and then get very very angry about the Waste Fraud Abuse and Lies that are going on every minute of every day with Trump

It’s not the Jamie Dimons or Howard Lutnicks or Donald Trumps of the world who will suffer from on-again-off-again tariff insanity. It is the 34 million small businesses (99.9% of all US businesses) who are facing potential irreparable harm. Name one MAGA official who speaks for them.
