Fetterman said he's a Yes vote to keep the govt open. Repubs need 8 dems to vote yes to keep the government open. I don't support helping Republicans in any capacity based on what they've shown us since the new dude became president. Can dems get anything tangible in exchange for their help?

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

This! Don’t be tricked. Republicans are going to cut Medicare / Medicaid benefits. The CBO has said it's impossible to meet the budget cuts they passed in February without doing so. RT, call your rep, and let your voice be heard before it is too late. Call your senator(s) 202-224-3121

It is honestly wild to me that Republicans cooked up a bill that would prohibit D.C. from spending more than $1 billion of its own budget, devastating our city services out of pure spite, and Senate Democrats might actually vote for it. Utterly appalling. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Boycotting Tesla is not "illegal", as Trump claims. The purpose of a boycott is to send a clear message: We the people have the power and choice to not give our hard-earned cash to billionaire oligarchs.

Donald Trump is an authoritarian. He does not believe in the United States Constitution....unless it supports one of his positions. That's not how the Constitution works. You don't pick and choose. 1/5

The way this works is that you either defend Khalil's First Amendment rights, no matter what you think about his specific views, or else you acquiesce to a totalitarian dystopia where the government can disappear people for expressing opinions opposed by the regime. There's really no middle ground.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

This past Saturday night, our government grabbed a legal U.S. resident, arrested him, is now detaining him, and is trying to quickly deport him. No charges. No trial. His wife, a U.S. citizen, doesn’t know where he is. This is what authoritarian regimes do. This shouldn’t happen here.
