🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

I genuinely wanna see other people win. It warms my heart.

Well said!

NEW: Idaho lawmakers are moving forward with modest efforts to improve the state’s system for investigating deaths. Meanwhile, counties are working to shield from public view coroner records that were key to a 2024 ProPublica investigation. By @audreydutton.bsky.social

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

For the first time, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) are all represented by female General Counsels.” elias.law/newsroom/pre...

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws. Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

Well played.

The Orange Monster is with rapid speed completing his goal of isolating and dictating to destroy America. If you are NOT frightened and screaming from rooftops you either have your head buried in quicksand, are living in another country or are dead.

Betrayal. 🥺🥺

NEW: The National Cancer Institute will be a no-show this year at the the annual meeting of the American Association of Cancer Reearch, per internal NIH/NCI guidance dated March 4th, 2025.

For two months I have been posting that we need a leader to stand up and step forward. Last night, Al Green did just that.

At a time when the Social Security Administration is grossly understaffed, Trump plans to lay off up to 50% of its employees. Outrageous. This will make it HARDER for Americans to get the services they need. This is clearly a step toward the privatization of Social Security.

I know people who cheer for cutting social programs—not to save money, but because they believe some lives just aren’t worth saving. Social Darwinism with a eugenics twist isn’t rare. That warning bell rang before, but when cruelty gets the green light, it spreads fast.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

A federal judge extended her injunction against the National Institutes of Health, preventing it from implementing or enforcing planned cuts to federal funding that supports various medical and scientific research projects.

Catch us in Austin, TX for @sxsw.com! On Monday, March 10, tune in for @jay.bsky.team's keynote with @mmasnick.bsky.social on the future of social and how we can take back control of our experience online.

A significant point not to be lost in the market rally - it’s just autos that’re getting relief. And only for a month. All the rest of the tariffs are still on. (Standard Trump Tariff Disclaimer - hereinafter STTD: all of the above is subject to change without notice)

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Tomorrow's Project The most frequent question I hear is: "What can I do?" I'm tackling that by developing a "Resistance Playbook" that examines every element of the "Authoritarian Playbook" and prescribes specific actions we take to counter them. And, we learn both playbooks at the same time!

My husband was annoyed after spending $65 on two burgers and fries, so I said, “Bet yours could blow these away.” His eyes lit up. “Really? I’ll make some tomorrow!” Two days later, I did the same with pasta. And that’s how I Jedi mind-tricked my husband into becoming our chef.

Reckless. And a slap in the face to those who have put their lives on the line serving our nation. apnews.com/article/vete...

Great to meet with VFW members from Vermont. These are the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country. We are proud of them and what they've done. No cuts to the VA. No privatization.

Dems need to keep fighting, but not by shaking canes. The visual is awful They need to win back young people, it’s going to take a change in HOW and WHAT you message.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel E. Bowser announced that the Black Lives Matter mural, painted in the summer of 2020 on a street near the White House, will be removed as part of planned changes to Black Lives Matter Plaza.

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war. While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

For those who wanted to share this video off platform. Here it is on YouTube youtu.be/OiPa9VY9PH8?...

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

The stakes are just too high.

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.

Shameless.

Again, the most stupid, most destructive way to run the world’s biggest economy. Also, fentanyl from Canada ain’t it.

He’s doing it for free? Nope. Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk is spearheading the overhaul of the $42 billion broadband program—directly benefiting himself and Starlink.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.
