I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

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.

So, it's been 30 days. Only 30 days. So much illegal, anti-American nazi bullshit has been unleashed by the Trump/Musk administration and compliance has been pretty easy for them so far. Terrifying. Remember that these things are going to start to feel "normal" as we get numb. They are not normal!

👏

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

If you recall, the previous general to hold this position called Trump a fascist and wannabe dictator.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

IMPORTANT 👏👏👏👏👏👏

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

REALITY The Trump Administration is cruelly firing very important people. America NEEDS experts in infectious diseases! For those of you old enough, it's time for us to "Act Up" like we did in the 90s! It's time for peaceful civil disobedience! See: @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I watched this. It is worth your time

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social I just want to thank you for be a vocal opposition leader! Keep it up! We support you and need you!
