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.

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

translating everything regardless of context into Upper East Side politesse is not only an extremely weird psychological trait but is fundamentally at odds with the journalistic imperative to report the truth

While it's true that Democrats in Congress -- and especially the House -- have relatively little power right now, what they can do is use their local offices to find people suffering from Trump's policies, like this caller, and lift up their voices and tell their stories

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Infuriating! 😡 My son has a plethora of specialists in other cities. The majority of his medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! Not just because of Critter’s car anxiety, but wear and tear on our car. 🤬

Please don’t turn this into ax grinding about Biden and DeJoy because, and I can’t emphasize this enough, what Trump is trying to do is illegal and being done with the goal of privatizing the USPS. You can’t use that playbook if you’re trying to make something better.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but haven’t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact they’re making it worse. Why the rush?

Members of Congress swear an oath to defend the Constitution. If they are too scared to follow through on that—not unreasonable, many really are getting harassment and death threats—then they should step down so someone who is up for the job can do it. Of 220m US adults, only 535 are in Congress.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

We are doomed to relive every stupid thing about the 80s. Only this it’s not just the mistakes of the 1980s corporate greed. It’s also the 1880s post reconstruction environment, and the 1780s love of slavery. :(
