Republicans are plotting to pass the Trump-House budget which rips off Americans by cutting essential services for seniors & veterans such as Medicaid, food assistance, & more. I will continue fighting to prevent extremists from stealing your taxpayer dollars for their own gain. youtu.be/wHrFmsM07a8

Homebound and seniors living in rural areas are reliant on telehealth. This is an attack on our vulnerable communities that Congress must stop.

Sending Haitians back to Haiti right now is a kiss of death. It’s not just wrong—it’s inhumane. This decision is completely outrageous and part of this administration’s reign of terror. The turmoil in Haiti is real, and instead of turning our backs, we should be supporting the Haitian people.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

Tump has done nothing that would not be on a Russian wish list: -Ukraine invaded Russia. Support Putin. -A de facto Russian agent head of Intelligence. -Kills USAID, the largest competitor against Russia for foreign influence -A drunk cutting defense budget. That's a few. It's a long list.

Trump is a MFin' Russian Agent. There is no denying it now. He is the #CyberianCandidate Read it on my substack open.substack.com/pub/malcolmn...

🧐 Context on Elon Musk funding Brad Schimel to ensure a GOP majority in Wisconsin Supreme Court race

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Republicans just voted it down.

Imagine telling people this as you ambush mass fire them?? “We didn’t have to mass fire *all* of you. Some of you we just decided we probably should.”

While Republicans start their work tonight on a bill to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits, Democrats are working to make your life better, safer, and more affordable. Here are 10 of the amendments I filed to the Republican budget bill 🧵

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

GOP votes down @senadamschiffz.bsky.social amendment “that would exempt federal firefighters from the ongoing hiring freeze launched by the Trump administration and reinstate firefighters who have been laid off as a result of cuts to the federal workforce,” per Senator’s spokesperson.

Nothing says caring about our future like keeping books out of kids’ hands

Never did I think I would ever agree with Mark Levin. But here he is telling the truth and taking on Trump‘s upside down Ukraine policy: www.mediaite.com/news/mark-le...

Carville on Hannity: I think the Republican Party wants to get rid of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security. I think they are against a living wage. They support Putin. I think the Republican Party hates workers and protect billionaires…https://youtu.be/9L_HvoOkU0s?si=Jt9e8jG9DqcAOTZo

The confirmation of Kash Patel as FBI director sends a clear and simple message to MAGA opponents: Don't stand near any open windows. In fact, probably best to avoid upper storeys altogether.

As prices continue to rise, instead of focusing on finding ways to lower costs and cut taxes for the middle-class, Republicans in Washington are focused on cutting taxes for the wealthy at the expense of American families, seniors, veterans and students.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

With the entire world as a witness.

Proud to lead a bipartisan group of House veterans who demand that any General or Flag Officers considered for dismissal be evaluated transparently and apolitically. These patriots, having served honorably under both parties, are one reason the US military continues to be the strongest in the world.

Public schools saved my life, were long one of Ohio's great strengths, and have been denied full funding for too long. Ohio will not turn our direction around until we recommit to fully funding public schools in all corners of the state. And that begins with state budgets that do so.

I suspect we won’t be seeing many more town halls with elected Republicans.

Trump just assaulted the independence of the United States' nuclear regulator. What could go wrong? A new article from Allison Macfarlane, who chaired the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from 2012-2014.

Eliminating accountability for crooked and abusive cops means your priority is protecting crooked and abusive cops instead of the communities they’ve harmed. This is a fascist police state tactic.

The DOJ is investigating UnitedHealthcare over billing fraud to funnel extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the Wall Street Journal reports. UnitedHealthcare shares have already dropped 9% since the story broke.

President Trump's interference in DC's governance is making the strongest case yet that DC needs statehood. Securing DC's right to govern itself is a matter of fairness and democracy. Read our new analysis:

Fuck Marco Rubio.

Paying to reduce the risk of wildfires is cheaper than stopping them once they’ve started. The Protect the West Act will invest in Colorado’s public lands to reduce wildfire risk, restore our watersheds, and protect our communities.
