Only four House Republicans are needed to force a vote to extend enhanced ACA tax credits, protecting affordable health care for millions. Tell your Representative to sign the discharge petition. 📞 U.S. Capitol Switchboard: +1 (202) 224-3121

Trump and his administration won’t stand with people living with HIV/AIDS on World AIDS Day, but Democrats will.

Today, we remember all those we’ve lost, and recommit ourselves to the fight of eliminating HIV/AIDS worldwide.

Reminder: Republicans control all 3 branches of government.

If the government shuts down, it WILL be because of Trump.

Trump’s administration is silencing critics, suing journalists, and targeting immigrants for their speech. Congress must act to defend the First Amendment and stop this assault on our freedoms. #DefendFreeSpeech #ProtectDemocracy @replsimon.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Trump doesn’t care about any of us

RFK Jr. is dismantling public health, spreading deadly misinformation, and driving out America’s top scientists. Congress must act — demand his resignation now. #ResignRFKJr #ProtectPublicHealth

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 97 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Yep. If you think everyone in a Red state is cishet and white and conservative you are missing the massive opportunity that exists right now.

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin

The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach

We MUST defend judicial independence👇

It’s official – Alabama’s congressional map must provide equal representation for Black voters.

This is a monumental win that would not have been possible without the determination and strength of generations of Black voters in the state, @ericholder.bsky.social and @redistrictfdn.bsky.social.

Finally.

Justice Allison Riggs will now have the opportunity to continue her distinguished service to the people of North Carolina.

We are approaching 50K followers here on Bluesky! Thank you!! Please contact your Senators before the SAVE Act comes to the floor and tell them to VOTE NO.

Good morning!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
