With state and federal funding up in the air, Ohio teachers are speaking out about what budget cuts would mean to districts, the importance of public schools to families and communities and how schools need to be strengthened to prioritize student futures

Disaster aid, without conditions. Congress – let's get it done.

How it started / How it’s going

When voters gambled on MIO7 Rep.Tom Barrett, they probably didn't expect to regret it within a month. He's proven he values the favor of billionaires over the lives of his hardest struggling constituents. He's just getting started. Lansing peeps you know what to do. Over 131k could lose coverage.

One thing I'd add to that segment: we tracked GOP town halls all over the country last week. We counted only 8! So 95% of GOP members are hiding from their constituents. If we're going to pressure them publicly, local groups are going to have to get creative. Stay tuned for more on that front soon!

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Be Good Ancestors. Become, right now, the Ancestors your descendants will call upon to help them when they face their own daunting circumstances. You don't have to be perfect; just have integrity. Make the best choices you can. Be a Good Human, even if they never know your name.💖 #WitchSky #PaganSky

This. We give elected Dems a lot of guff, but this one is not the Dems' fault. Dems in the House held the line and did all they could.

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

The House GOP just passed a $4.5 trillion tax cut for ultra wealthy billionaires. They want to pay for it with hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

🔥 Those sonsa bitching bastards. They are gonna learn the hard way some day. Meanwhile, we must protect what is ours & protect those we love from these monsters. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #UnitedWeStand #HandsOffMedicaid

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Just for the record, Putin started this war. Ukraine defended itself. Russia should be pushed out, and Ukraine should be defended at all costs. Anybody suggesting otherwise is a traitor.

We are the ones who will defeat this wannabe-king. It will be our actions and voices that end Trump’s reign. Read!

“Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the D.C. Beltway,” Sanders said. “It will only be defeated by millions of Americans…in every state in this country, who come together in a strong grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy.” More here:

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Pete Buttigieg: “Even the greatest country, if it loses the rule of law, will not have much left.” REPOST if you stand with Pete Buttigieg!

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

They really do. They really…truly….do.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

Happy 55th Birthday, "Warwick Ashley Davis" He played Professor Flitwick, as well as Griphook in the Deathly Hallows. 🎉🥳

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.

This is some serious mic-drop from Jasmine Crockett. 🔥🔥🔥 Love it.
