Every state needs to do this ASAP

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

www.opb.org/article/2025... I know what I’ll be calling Congress about today!!!

A record high of 53% of Americans say their financial situation is worsening, according to a new Gallup Poll. That's the highest percentage since Gallup began tracking this statistic.

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

Ugh! I am only focusing on him gone! That we don’t have to read, hear or see another stupid comment, post or video from RFK jr! Actually from this whole administration

Excellent Question! Waiting For An Answer….

The house revealed a budget plan that eliminates the Head Start program. There are currently almost 780,000 children enrolled in Head Start who will suffer the loss of this program. This shows republicans never cared about children but controlling women. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

There is absolutely zero reason to cave to Trump, as we’ve seen from Columbia his administration will absolutely go back on its word. The only way to stay safe to protect your institution is to stay loud stay visible and stay engaged.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Can anyone relate? Yea I’m gettin older, not gonna be around forever. I’m apoplecticAF about Trump because my kids are in their 20s, I can’t bear the thought of them having to live under authoritarian rule w/out me around to protect them. It’s not so much about me. It’s way scarier-it’s about them.

Yup

Musk says time commitment to DOGE will 'drop significantly' as focus returns to Tesla - NBC News It’s always been about the $$$$$ $$$$$$$ what about the damage he’s done to the rest of us?

I can’t believe the same administration that cuts women’s health research, prenatal screening, cancer research, head start, etc…. threatens Medicaid, Affordable Care act, cuts to Education etc …… is going to make anyone jumping to have more kids, $5000 or not are you fu#%^g crazy ?

Tax Cuts For The Wealthy, Is Stealing OUR Fucking Money ! WE'RE PAYING FOR IT PEOPLE !

💙 #StrongerTogether 💙 #Resist 💙 # Protest 💙

Funding for the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) has just been cut. This study has made some landmark discoveries, including uncovering the risks of hormone replacement therapy on cardiovascular health. It was initiated 30 years ago, because there was little research on women’s health.

Telling you they’re diligently working on a cure for autism whilst at the same time cutting funding is the equivalent of pissing on your leg and telling you it’s raining… it’s a lie. time.com/7279068/trum...

Here’s why Trump’s plan to gut Head Start will hurt you, even if you don’t have kids There is no American family or business that would be untouched by the ripple effects of abruptly gutting childcare for more than 700,000 families. #HeadStart www.fastcompany.com/91320429/how...

It's mind-boggling that the puppy killer in charge of National SECURITY can't even keep track of her own purse.

They should not be considered "astronauts" just for spending ten minutes in the upper atmosphere. We should honor real astronauts who went through a highly selective process, not these wealthy women who didn't. (NASA’s 2021 class had 12,000 applicants for 10 spots.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

This is Donald Trump’s economy.

Trump and Republicans have chosen polluters over the American people. They're rolling back critical protections that keep our water clean, air safe, and communities healthy. This #EarthDay, we must fight back to protect our planet and the future of our children. truthout.org/articles/chi...

Good posts Mark.

NEW TODAY: 200 college and university presidents band together to condemn “unprecedented government overreach” in higher education and reaffirm the “essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom.” www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

Bravery is contagious.

The DOD stopped providing rape kits to victims overseas. Hegseth is changing the rules on military sexual trauma and killed all sexual harassment and assault training teaching consent. It's so much worse than a stupid signal chat Democrats are focused on. thewarhorse.org/us-military-...

Know who else felt this way about health and disabled people? Hitler.

I’ll say it again — Hegseth needs to resign. There was more than enough from the last Signal leak to show he is not fit to lead our military.

Bernie Has Been Right About This For Years!

Correct from the president of Harvard www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...
