Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Almost everybody in the United States paid more income tax than Tesla. itep.org/tesla-report...

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

I mean- If we're serious about saving money......

Kudos to the Colorado state legislature for denouncing Trump's threat to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against immigrants fr Mexico & Venezuela last used during WWII in a roundup of Japanese, Italian, and German immigrants and which led to U.S. concentration camps. www.cpr.org/2025/02/19/a...?

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

Blindly-pursued "pro-life" policies mean death for many innocent would-be mothers. Why make pregnancy so dangerous when medical science knows how to save their lives?

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Musk and his minions are not the sharpest tools in the shed despite their overweening and massively unjustified self-confidence. Stop wrecking stuff you don't understand you fascist stewed prunes!

This is worth watching.

Guns are the number one killer of kids in this country. But right now, in many states, a teenager can buy an assault-style weapon. I'm a cosponsor of the Age 21 Act to prohibit the sale or possession of assault-style weapons to those under 21. It's just common sense.

Earlier this month, Sheinbaum shared a letter addressed to Google with reporters, arguing that the U.S. had no authority to unilaterally rename the Gulf.

Yes! Wishing him the best.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Well said.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
