This popped back up in Reddit from Feb. 8th, 2019 and needs to be repeatedly blasted everywhere, everyday: youtu.be/hRM1t4RU69c #ethicsincongress #aoc #resist #taxtherich #taxwealthnotwork

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social You should have Gary Stevenson on the podcast. Title is dramatic but this is why: youtu.be/rAb_p5DCC3E

Speaker Johnson has rolled out a slush fund continuing resolution that would give Donald Trump and Elon Musk more power over federal spending—and more power to pick winners and losers, which threatens families in blue and red states alike. Read my full statement ⬇️

youtu.be/hycoCYenXls If you haven’t seen this unedited footage from Chris Murphy on the senate floor this past week, you need to watch it. It’s very well prepared and to the point in a logical fashion.

Pure fascism: the put down of the freedom of assembly.

It’s horrifying & stunning to see this admin stand with dictators over our own allies. We should be standing up for peace, freedom, & security worldwide. I’m deeply concerned about what today's meeting in the Oval Office means for the people of Ukraine, and I’ll continue to stand with our allies.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

AOC is currently the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

Last night I hosted a community forum with nearly 1,000 constituents in attendance! It was great to discuss what we can do to come together and chart a path forward under the Trump administration. If you couldn’t make it, I look forward to seeing you at my next town hall!

Republicans have made clear they won’t hesitate to bleed health programs dry if it means they can shower more tax cuts on billionaires and big corporations. I will fight tooth and nail to stop them & protect the health care families rely on. Repost if you're with me.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social I wish one of you would setup a daily “briefing” or something in a digestible format (can be put on TikTok and snippet by news organizations) that outlines what the Trump administration is actively doing today (new items, updates, lies) and the dems action

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

What happened to “All men are created equal”? I interpret that as “people”. I feel like Trumps cronies are walking all over Jefferson’s intent with this hate they are spewing. Illegal immigrants and people who disagree with you, are people too. They deserve respect. #GoldenRuleForFuckSake

Let’s be really clear what happened today: Trump’s White House released a memo freezing “all federal financial assistance” — including SNAP, WIC, and Medicaid. The fight over this is still ongoing, but let’s talk about why pushing back against these things matters 🧵

Democrats have the ability to use Trump's power grab to make government visible. They need to be very specific, they need to show that Trump is stealing appropriated funds from Red States as much as Blue, and they need to explain why this is illegal. Then do cheap ads targeting GOPers.

Oh look, just an anti-light rail group in West Seattle openly hoping that a Trump administration USDOT cuts funding for West Seattle Link. westseattleblog.com/2025/01/west...

Might be a good time to point out a billionaire couple own and use more water than every home in LA combined
