This last minute freeze of funds will cripple summer classes and camps scheduled to begin soon, leaving poor working parents without options. Shameful. Illegal. Wrong.

So, we have concentration camps in America, and some who identify as "Christians" can hardly contain their glee.

What a sad day in America.

They won’t cut spending for things like Trump’s flights to his golf courses and resorts every weekend, but they’ll trip over themselves to cut spending on things poor people rely on like Medicaid and food stamps.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Senior Voters Are Turning Out In Force To Protest Trumpβ€”And Could Be Democrats' Secret Weapon Think voters get more conservative with age? Think again.

β€œOK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

@schumer.senate.gov Mike Lee needs to be censured now. He needs to know his disgusting comments about the horrible violence over the weekend are not acceptable.

Thank you @jimmykimmel.com for making it plain: the media is helping to push lies about what's happening in Los Angeles when literally ... almost NOTHING is happening in Los Angeles, EXCEPT for where ICE shows up and kidnaps people. The city is perfectly normal otherwise. Media: stop playing along!

🚨BREAKING: Two Minnesota Democratic lawmakersβ€”Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortmanβ€”were shot overnight, along with their spouses, by someone impersonating a police officer. Their conditions are not known as of this time.

THIS MAGA VIOLENCE HAS GONE MUCH TOO FAR!!

A graphic with a phone number for the LA rapid response network hotline to call if you see ICE in your community and want to make a report.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

ICE tries to detain man, neighbors form human chain to protect him Neighbors delivered food, water and gasoline to the man, who was with a child in a van, as ICE agents stayed at the home for hours.

These people are heroes.

The world is in a terrible, terrible state. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, not the fault of trans people. Anyone who says so is either a dupe or wanting you to look away from something terrible they’re doing themself.

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money.

It’s all a faΓ§ade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying β€œConsistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith β€œWhat did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

How can we fight back against these cuts? Special education and education in general are already understaffed.

Just confirmed with the University of St. Thomas that funding to train more special education teachers was *cancelled* because of Trump’s cuts.

Why? Because Republicans are vacuuming up every dollar they can for massive corporate tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

They don’t care who gets screwed.
