Investing in economic growth. Funding our schools. Improving the services working families and the vulnerable need. We cannot compromise on them, especially when we face the uncertainty of the federal government’s haphazard “ready, fire, aim” tactics toward everyday Americans.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

The numbers are clear. The State of Illinois hit $2 billion in record-setting cannabis sales, generating more than $490 million in tax revenue. Five years after we legalized adult-use cannabis, we’re seeing the economic impact of a thriving cannabis industry.

Good advice ⬇️

ICE raids in schools, hospitals, and churches are turning places of learning, healing, and worship into places of fear and suffering. Our Protecting Sensitive Locations Act would ban ICE from conducting enforcement actions from within 1000 feet of these sacred spaces.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has determined that the Trump Administration has violated his order that stopped his spending freeze on federal grant programs. Trump has just been ordered to immediately unfreeze funds, including for the National Institute of Health.

I’ll be clipping an “Elon Musk: Hands Off Our Social Security” rally at the Social Security Administration today as part of my partnership with @snapstream.com, featuring speeches from Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks. Follow this thread for clips and commentary.

Connolly: "The public did not give Trump a mandate to dismantle whole chunks of the federal govt. It gave him a mandate to kick the tires, check the dipstick, and make sure things are running well and efficiently. What Elon Musk is doing is way beyond any mandate that Trump could possibly claim."

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

Connolly: "There's a difference between cutting waste fraud and abuse, and dismantling whole agencies. No one gave Trump, no one gave Elon Musk that authority. It is unconstitutional. It is unlawful. It is a violation of Article 1. And we're gonna fight it."

Who agrees Trump is WASTING tax payer money by going to the Super Bowl? 💙

Repost this if you agree Elon and DOGE should be SUED!

Hold the fuck on — the so-called “anti-woke” party has two daddies?

I would bet my life, and that isn't hyperbole I would literally make this bet, that he took one hell of a lot more than that from sources with "ties" to the Kremlin.

Trump and the GOP just gutted a major Catholic charity but apparently it’s liberals and Democrats who are anti-Christian and anti-Church

USAid pays $.05 per condom. $15,000,000 = 300,000,000 condoms. There are 75,000 members of the taliban. That works out to roughly 4,000 condoms for every member of the Taliban. The Trump Regime lies horribly. I mean they REALLY SUCK at lying.

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it. Let's act accordingly.

I actually hope that Gavin Newsom decides to withhold federal taxes this year. Red states cannot function without the financial support of blue states like California and New York. No human rights for ALL in red states? Then no big blue dollars for your social programs.

Too little, too late, too quiet. You all let this insanity happen, so this is on you. #MagaTrumpTax2025
