This is him being nice

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

I missed it when it happened a few months ago, but I still want to take a moment to congratulate Dr. Makiko Sato on her retirement from NASA and thank her for her decades of work on climate change, including maintaining the GISTEMP climate record.

Absolutely brutal.

Profoundly illegal

You all should be very happy to hear that grocery prices have come down 93% since the simpleton took office. It must be true because he said so. Very good news!

This double standard is absurd.

25th Amendment time?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

Love this! #DontMessWithCanada

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

A Nobel prize to the first Republican member of congress or cabinet member who says this one simple word, on camera, in response to a request or demand from Donald Trump.

Spot the differences. (Hint: one of them is white.)

#LockHimUp

Proud to be one of the organizers of this important demonstration. Join is in DC on June 6th.

Must read

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Hilarious

Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

Can’t get to the end of this story soon enough

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

He’s why we can’t have nice things.

So much hate stuffed into that one tiny little brain….

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Bwaah 🤣 💥

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

#OTD in 1968, days after my father was assassinated, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act. It outlawed housing discrimination and redefined what justice looks like. But 57 years later, the racial homeownership gap is wider than it was then. We must turn promises into policy.
