“If you capture the school system, you’re going to capture a whole generation of minds. You don’t have to individually push your agenda. You don’t have to go school by school. You just get the whole system.”

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, told American journalist Tucker Carlson in an interview on March 21 that Ukraine's leadership has agreed to hold a presidential election. He did not provide any details.

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections. Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS? I do!

🔥 Join our DIGITAL RALLY now! As we celebrate 15 years of the ACA, let's remember that our work isn't done yet. Democrats will keep fighting to protect the ACA and ensure that healthcare is a right, not a privilege! ACA Saves Lives Toolkit ➡️ social.demcast.com/toolkit/b1a1...

Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social came to Denver, brought the house down; namechecked our champions @degette.house.gov, @pettersen.house.gov, @joeneguse.bsky.social, @crow.house.gov, @bennet.senate.gov, Sen. Hickenlooper and held one-term Gabe Evans's feet to the fire. Watch this 🔥

The empire Elon Musk built on taxpayer subsidies, carbon credits, and family wealth from apartheid-era emerald mines is wobbling. Tesla is losing market share, stock value, and investor confidence. And this decline threatens to spread to X his social media platform open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

#ProudBlue #MomSky Over the past 15 years, health outcomes have improved across all age groups, inequities in access to care have narrowed and millions of people with pre-existing conditions have gotten the health care they need at an affordable cost thanks to the ACA. Happy 15 years ACA!

Children's Rehabilitation Institute TeletonUSA, is a charity to help kids who were born without limbs to be taught how to deal with their disability with dignity. There is support for the entire family. There are 600 children on the waiting list. Join me in donating to CRIT.

Wealthy Howard Lutnick, The Felon’s commerce secretary, doesn’t think there’s a senior on Social Security who can’t do without a check or two. He and the felon are so out of touch with average Americans. But we warned you. So start saving your pennies. #ProudBlue

Why are we, CITIZENS, more outraged than fucking Congress?? Where are they as our lives are being torn apart? We’re in a constitutional crisis, and despite what @schumer.senate.gov says, Democracy IS at stake! Citizens and volunteers should NOT be working harder than our electeds. 😡 +…

My kid is dead but at least she won't grow up to have cancer... It's hard to argue with such ignorant stupidity...

Rays of hope breaking through in places I never thought possible. Rachel Maddow's must-watch report shows town halls nationwide—held *without* their MAGA Reps. Even here near Boardman, OH, a MAGA stronghold, neighbors are standing up. It's powerful. It's moving. It gives me hope. @maddow.msnbc.com

Chuck Grassley is the kind of guy who would ignore a fungal infection on his own genitals for decades but blame the working poor who need health and nutrition benefits to live for his itchy balls.

Here he is again—Malcolm Kenyatta, bringing the facts, ferocity, and fight. He speaks truth, stands tall, and never backs down. If Democrats want to win and lead with purpose, they should take notes. He’s not just showing up—he’s setting the standard. @malcolmhq.bsky.social

The ACA cut the number of uninsured in half, expanded coverage, and guaranteed protections for preexisting conditions. It's one of the most impactful health care laws in our history—and now it’s under attack. We must fight to protect it. #ACASavesLives

HAPPY 15th BDAY to the ACA! We deserve to have healthcare when we are sick w/o going bankrupt & this landmark law has improved healthcare for many Americans. But our work isn't done yet. We must continue to fight against Republican attempts to repeal and replace it with nothing. #ACASavesLives

The ACA has helped reduce racial disparities in healthcare access. But efforts to roll back the law will disproportionately harm communities of color. What does this mean for families who already face systemic barriers to care? #ACASavesLives

Florida-06 💥SPECIAL ELECTION APRIL 1st Please vote for Josh Weil! Josh will fight for the working class, protect SS & Medicare, & put a check on the billionaires trying to suffocate the middle class! #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Any divide among Democrats at this point is not about ideology. Rather, it's about anatomy. Simply put, we hunger for leaders and institutional guardians to demonstrate the head, heart, and stomach to champion economic and social justice. Center, liberal, and left labels are irrelevant now.

Eventually, building a wall won't be about keeping "those people" out. It'll be about keeping us in to be indentured servants for oligarchs. Putin/Musk administration's depraved anarchy will cause a refugee crisis for Canada and Mexico. In other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Today, Trump is dismantling much of the Department of Education. He has ordered wrestling executive-turned-Education Secretary Linda McMahon to shut most of her department. But there’s a much larger story here. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-att...

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.
