The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

It’s been a LOT this week with the first DOGE Subcommittee in Oversight. ⬇️ But we’re excited to be headed home for the District Work Period—and to be taking the fight back home, celebrating Black History Month, meeting with community leaders, and doing all of the good work we do every day for NM!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This is resegregation. Don't let them gaslight you into believing anything other than what it is. It's an illegal attempt to use the state to push women and people of color out of the work force. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Imagine going back ten years and telling people that a convicted Trump would be president for a second term after a coup attempt and Elon Musk would be seizing control of the government while endorsing the building of concentration camps and doing a seig heil. They would lock you up in an asylum.

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

Why is the GOP shielding Elon Musk from Oversight!? Maybe…because while we’re sitting here he’s dismantling agencies, threatening national security, stealing our data, and breaking the law. Dems are not clutching our pearls. Dems are fighting back. And we won't stop!

Elon Musk is NOT a government official, elected official, or appointee, yet his lackeys are taking over the Department of the Treasury. We will not let Elon take our country! This is our country! We will take it back!

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

They're going to normalize this by following Elon's approach. "It's just trolling" This is what they do. Using irony as a mask to hide the obvious. They're nazism

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
