The cruelty from this administration is in part to distract from their rampant incompetence. They want you outraged so you forget that they “mistakenly” fired scientists combatting bird flu and the experts that maintain our nuclear weapons.

This is such a beautiful way to turn the fear of this moment into something positive for Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ community. I am so glad to live in a community that comes together during times of hardship – and also just what a cool place to get married! www.kuow.org/stories/roma...

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Reading this history of the gay right and did not know Trump's first CPAC appearance in 2011 (when he launched his birther campaign) was thanks to an invite from GOProud, a now-defunct far-right gay org who's previous major event was a speech by Ann Coulter at Peter Thiel's house

It’s really wild how this guy is widely known to be a closeted gay sex pest and not only is he carrying on like everything’s normal but nobody reporting these stories is writing “CPAC chair Matt Schlapp, who is accused of sexual assault….”

I keep thinking of how this year began with a burning Tesla Cybertruck (and a suicide) in front of a Trump hotel in Vegas. 2025 is continuing that same energy. Elon and Milei laughing dementedly over a chainsaw is not the meme they think it is.

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

Nicole shared with me that Medicaid cuts would mean she can’t afford even one month of medication for her son with special needs. I heard so many powerful stories like hers at San Ysidro Health’s El Cajon clinic – and that’s why I’ll keep fighting for Medicaid.

More gut-wrenching data that shows what happens when Republicans ban abortion: more women hospitalized for PREVENTABLE conditions, more women miscarrying, more women dead. Republicans want to control women's lives and bodies—no matter the consequences. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Gutting the CFPB and tanking a rule that keeps medical debt off credit scores is unacceptable. I’m leading my colleagues in saying loud and clear: Protect this consumer watchdog & protect RIers from the crippling weight of medical debt.

Todd Blanche, Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, promised he would follow the advice of career ethics officials at the Department of Justice. Then they fired the career ethics officials. Piece by piece they are destroying the Justice Dept. And any hope of justice along with it.

Trump is hurting our public safety and national security. He’s pulling federal law enforcement away from the important work of combatting things like drug smuggling and human trafficking — instead having them go after immigrants who pose no threat to public safety.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Senate Republicans once again showed us their true colors last night. They want to pay for tax breaks for their rich corporate friends by defunding your Medicaid and Medicare. Unreal.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Trump is firing thousands upon thousands of VETERANS for no reason at all. These men & women put their lives on the line for our country and they do critical work, many of them serving other veterans! Trump and Musk’s reckless firing spree is beyond despicable.

Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research. Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.
