Please reconsider and vote no. Please hold out for the ACA subsidies. This is not a time to cave. So many are struggling now and it will only get worse if those with common sense and decency capitulate to the cruel bullies whose policies only exist to further enrich their cronies. Please, please.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

I’m absolutely appalled and terrified by this. The precedent this sets and the constitutional crisis it has hatched may bring our freedoms to suffer.

Well done, @keating.house.gov

A true ally doesn’t just watchβ€”they stand up.

I’ve accidentally misgendered someone at my daughter’s school before. It happens. The moment I realized, I apologized and made sure not to do it again.

Rep Keith Self did this on purpose. He meant to be hurtful.

USDA cancels $1B in local food purchasing for schools, food banks States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from local farms and ranchers, halting more than $1 billion in federal spending.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

DOGE follows longtime Musk pattern β€” and turns attention to Social Security Administration There are differing views among those close to the Elon Musk-led group about exactly how far to go with cuts.

If Musk compromises the Social Security Administration in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks.

If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by
House Oversight and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security.
