The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

~ All of Us

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Let's break down what happened in America today. At 9:37 a.m., Trump told his followers to buy stocks.

The markets opened in chaos. He doubled down on tariffs, and the country's trade rep was set to testify before the Ways and Means Committee today. Trump's tariffs have been a disaster, and I was ready to stand up for Nevadans and hardworking people all across country. few minutes before I was set to speak, a staffer informed the trade representative that Trump had changed his mind— seemingly without telling anyone, not even the highest-ranking trade official. Almost immediately after the announcement, the market soared.

This is grifting at its finest. It's reckless governing and it's designed to make billionaires richer while the rest of us pay the price. I got to ask Rep Greer how this happened. So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

Like we said, his little tariff stunts are a fraud scheme, you didn't lose money, he stole it. It was insider fraud.

Terrorist attacks Tesla Take Down Protest, terrorist in mugshot is fat and has obese brow, half-goatee, droopy eyes

A MAGA terrorist attacked Americans who were peacefully protesting oligarchy and Tesla.

This is just the latest terrorist attack by MAGA as these radicals feel embolden to attack civilians in latest wave of Trump / Musk inspired terrorism.

Had to re-up a prescription, check CVS and it had raised the price. Checked @costplusdrugs.com, and it was now... half the price of what CVS is now charging (last I had checked they were about equal, but now Cost Plus lowered the price a lot while CVS raised it). Moved the prescription.

Momentum.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Way to go, Spokane!

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮

Indeed.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
