CA VOTERS - URGENT ACTION CALL - See the attached for info on calling State Sen Umberg, members of the Sen Judiciary Comm before Tues 4/29 @ 930 am. Ask for a NO VOTE on SB 540. Most important climate bill to oppose this year – because this one can NEVER be reversed! @indivisiblegreen.bsky.social

Earth Day message - CA faces a potential climate disaster if SB 540 is not stopped. Powerful forces are pushing our senators to give away CA's control over our energy to Trump/fossil fuel dependent coal-loving states. Our single state control protects us now. Tell your Senators VOTE NO on SB540.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Senator @padilla.senate.gov - Thank you for fighting the Save Act.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

boosting because good and we need more good

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.

Lesotho is one of the world’s poorest nations. The Trump administration cast a 50% reciprocal trade tariff on it, the highest levy on President Trump’s long list of target economies. The charge could kill entire industries in the tiny African kingdom, an independent economic analyst tells Reuters.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

A federal appeals court panel has affirmed the convictions of the ringleaders of the plot to kidnap and harm Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Barry Croft and Adam Fox, calling the crime a "textbook conspiracy."

Big Law firms and partners have choices about whether to capitulate or to stand tall. History is watching.

NEWS: Whirlpool Corp. announces Iowa's largest layoff of 2025 in Amana manufacturing facility. Nearly 1/3 of the company’s workforce in the Iowa facility will be let go due to current market conditions.

NEW: Chief of Staff to House Speaker Mike Johnson has pleaded not guilty -- and has been placed on release conditions - in his DUI criminal case in Washington DC Hayden Haynes was stopped by police on Capitol Hill in the hours after Trump's address to Congress in March

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

I find it outrageous as well.

We warned you of their plan

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?

“The President’s desires cannot be ignored”

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

Maybe it’s just me, but the orange felon using his destructive vindictive tariffs just to deliberately sabotage and destroy the U.S. economy looks a lot like sabotage and treason.

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

So glad comedy is legal again on X because this is gold!

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings
