"Exact same thing is true of democracy "

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

BREAKING: A federal judge rules that the Trump administration “SHALL NOT” take Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly removed from the U.S. earlier this year, into custody should he be released from pretrial incarceration on immigrant smuggling charges.

That $$$ is needed to help students learn and thrive! Hire more teachers and paraeducators so students get more attention and instruction time, provide the latest science backed training for great instruction and so much more that directly helps students!

Today we launched the National Academy for AI Instruction with UFT, Microsoft, OpenAI & Anthropic to offer free, high-quality AI training to educators. Some of you have expressed legitimate reservations about AI and tech companies. I want to speak to you directly. 🧵

We need our voices at the table to have a say in shaping how this is used.

We've got to be part of the discussion about how AI is used in education so it can enhance student learning. If we don't have a seat at the table, we let others who know nothing about the human dimensions of teaching and learning make all the decisions. I can guarantee we won't like those results!

How does this help working families?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just broke the record for the longest floor speech!!! Making history on ensuring the American people understand why this Republican mega bill is a huge ugly betrayal to the American people.

Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Live Updates: Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions in Birthright Citizenship Case

SCOTUS knee capped lower courts today while kicking the question of birthright citizenship down the road. Justices Sotomayor and Jackson are right to call out problems and dangers of this decision.

More Provisions Violate Byrd Rule in Republicans’ “One Big, Beautiful Bill” | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget The Official U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget

Good! Senate Republicans can’t use the Big Ugly Bill to end run the legislative process to slash Medicaid or create a national school voucher program. But they are still trying to find a way to do it so keep telling Congress how harmful these policies would be! www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

A joint statement from our entire Congressional delegation including Representatives McCollum and Emmer, Senator Smith, and Representatives Craig, Omar, Stauber, Fischbach, Finstad, and Morrison condemning political violence and praying for the Hortman and Hoffman families:

Speaker Hortman was not a controversial figure.

She stayed out of the flame wars.

A true public servant with no huge political ambition.

She was just a mom who cared about her state.

Fuck Trump and Republicans.

It was their Winter Soldier who assassinated her and her husband.

The @nytimes.com buried the No Kings story well below the fold on its front page. But the following headline shares top billing with the Minnesota assassination: "Inside Universal’s Big Bet on ‘How to Train Your Dragon’"

What a joke. My high school journalism adviser would've flunked me for this.

Trump, on the
Minnesota shootings:
"This horrific violence
will not be tolerated,"
says the seditionist
who ordered the
Jan 6th attack on
our capitol &
pardoned 1,500
cop-maiming felons,
his, "patriots,"
while firing every
FBI agent who tried
hold them accountable.

A real President would be in Minnesota right now.

Our public schools aren't piggy banks to raid for billionaires tax cuts! We need that $$$ to support all our students' learning.

Good news from the US Supreme Court today!!!

This bill is mostly about tax breaks for billionaires at the expense of all of the rest of us. It truly is a "Big, Ugly Betrayal" of We the People! 💙🇺🇸🩵

Cowards in the House chose tax cuts for billionaires and hurting millions of Americans who depend on Medicare and Medicaid to help them rather than stand up to Trump. Who do they work for?!?

Some good news from the courts!!!

Our kids deserve an education that prepares them to thrive! No austerity budget for the people while giving tax breaks to billionaires!
