It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.  And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

I'm so sick of people saying that Corey Booker's filibuster is "just performative." Of course it's performative. But all politics is performative to some extent. One of the real problems with Dems is that they're NOT putting on the sort of show they need to put on for the general public.

I just sat on the Senate floor watching @booker.senate.gov delivering a historic speech highlighting the devastation that this Admin is bringing to our economy, national security, & the lives of every American. Thank you Sen Booker for standing up — just a few hours from a record-breaking speech.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there. CDC's entire FOIA office is gone. The FDA's communications and web office were cut. "The FDA as we know it is gone."

The gutting of HHS and the CDC will literally and directly lead to the sickening and deaths of millions of Americans, and many more globally. Far more than that will suffer needlessly. This is horrific.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

⚠️ HHS cuts reportedly include the entire federal staff of LIHEAP, the heating assistance program. The program still has almost $400 million to distribute this year, of a ~$4 billion annual total. It “could well grind to a halt.” www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/h...

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

The soon-to-be-tragic story of deep-sea mining in the Pacific feels a lot like the tragic story of coal mining in Appalachia--the false promise of prosperity for locals, the extraction of billions by corporations, the certainty of vast environmental destruction. www.civilbeat.org/2025/03/digg...

Russian hackers compromised Signal, and the Pentagon and Hegseth were aware. Steve Witkoff was in Russia when he participated in the Signal group chat about Yemen, making things even more convenient for the Kremlin. Tulsi Gabbard was also in the chat, so she could have relayed information as well.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

I left a voice message with my representative Ryan Mackenzie and with Senator Fetterman this morning to demand that they call for Hegseth’s resignation after yesterday’s unbelievable and inexcusable security breach. Senator McCormick‘s mailbox was full, so I’ll have to try again later.

Good thing Florida is not a low-lying coastal state in the bullseye of hurricanes and sea level rise that will need many billions of $$$ to raise roads, fix sewage, access clean drinking water, install pumps to keep cities like Miami habitable for non-billionaires a few more decades.
