As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

My mother died from lung cancer caused by asbestos. She didn’t work w/ it; her father did: She breathed in fibers he brought home on his clothes. Years later, it killed her. She was 60. Her death was terrible & also a metaphor for how reckless decisions cause permanent harm in heartbreaking ways.

Judge Ed Artau ruled in Trump’s favor in a defamation case while reportedly lobbying for a federal judgeship. Critics point to his push to abolish the “actual malice” standard—mirroring Trump’s views—as a major red flag…serious concerns about impartiality and ethics. www.rawstory.com/ed-artau/

Schools. Parks. Libraries. Roads. Mail delivery... These are provided by our government. They're paid for by the public and are available to everyone. What happens to these public goods when you try to "run the government like a business"? Privatization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqn1uD_B70U

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Medicaid work requirements failed in Arkansas — full stop. Thousands were kicked off coverage not for refusing to work, but for failing to navigate a broken system. It was predictable, preventable, and deeply harmful. #MedicaidMatters

Good morning ☁️ Keep seeing "history won't be kind to FOTUS and this administration." It depends on who is writing the history. We aren't all gifted writers but we can write down what we are witnessing and pass it down to our kids and grandkids so it doesn't get lost.

I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Phang: As many as 48% of battered women said they had delayed leaving a dangerous situation out of concern for their pet’s safety. The Act—was introduced so that shelters could get the funding needed to allow victims to bring their pets with them.. And of course, Republicans want to do away with it

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.
