These senators who voted away access to healthcare for tens of millions of Americans really have the audacity to self righteously posture & pretend that they didn't just bow to the administration who has proven that they do not care if Americans starve or die from lack of healthcare access.

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, โ€œwe wonโ€™t forget.โ€

So I donโ€™t know man.

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc itโ€™s working! 202-224-3121

@schumer.senate.gov aside, the 8 senators who voted against the American people are not running for re-election. They'll retire. But, we need to make sure that those seats are filled with Senators will to do the hard work for us.

@schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov, do you get it now? We're paying attention. Especially after last week's highs which you seem to have completely ignored. Take note: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Please, I beg of you and your colleagues: replace @schumer.senate.gov as @democrats.senate.gov leader. This is the second time too many with D after their name have caved to legislative bullying by the White House and the Senate GOP. This is not what we voted for. Schumer MUST be replaced.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I havenโ€™t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I hope you know how much hope you grant us all, not just in NYC, but amongst so many of us in the US and abroad in this moment. You've got this. And, we've got your back. #LFG

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

Just a warning: the images from Helsinki are not from the No Kings protest but from a march in solidarity with Palestine. The No Kings gathering here, though, did have ~100 people gathering outside Oodi, and was organised by Democrats Abroad. It also made the national news here.

Just further evidence that #JDVance is a pandering piece of shit with not an ounce of integrity.

Could it possibly be not repeating the absurdity of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries as minority leaders in the Congress? Because that would be awesome.

Clarence Thomas says precedent might not determine cases on upcoming supreme court docket The court is expected to weigh in on same-sex marriage next session, which it legalized in 2015

'Stare decisis is for suckers'.

No rights are safe any longer. No rights at all. Raise your hand if you think the Roberts Court is the worst SCOTUS ever. The only good things left are Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson.

Picture of a woman's torso and part of her hand holding a square paper hand fan emblazoned with a blue drawing of the White House with a flag atop it, which reads 'Project 2025 Presidential Transition Project Project2025.org' Above the picture a headline reads: 'A Trump appointee confirmed that Project 2025 was the plan all along'.

I mean, I know we're all feeling like it's 1930-something, but after checking the calendar, it is indeed Thursday. Thanks for the reminder for Friday, however. (And, solidarity. I genuinely didn't know what day it was, to be honest.)

JFC. I thought this was a joke, not the goddamn vice president of the United States.

Can y'all imagine if Kamala had tweeted anything resembling this?!
