Jeffries: "We're seeing the beginning of an all-out war in the Middle East at the same time Trump & his administration & Republicans have cut more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid, ripped away food in terms of nutritional assistance, & they're spending our taxpayer dollars to start another war"

Newsom: His imperial presidency is about to come to an end. This is the last gasp of a desperate man. That was advanced today rhetorically β€” and then substantively β€” with his effort to impose a global 10% tax, another regressive tax on working people and small businesses across this country

We’re in a dark chapter of American history when the government targets those who document injustice instead of those who commit it.

Pretti stepped up for a woman who’d been assaulted. He exercised his rights in the face of actual tyranny, not from a podcast booth. He seemed moral and decent. His valor reminds pus stains like Patel, Berry, & Watters that their macho shtick is sad and hollow. *Of course* they celebrate his murder.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Devastating new CNN poll on the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office: voters think he’s made everything worse β€” crime, free speech, health, global security. Literally every promise.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Honored to be endorsed by @billmckibben.bsky.social β€” one of the most influential climate leaders in the world. He called our energy plan β€œthe most dynamic and well-thought-out of any Congressional candidate in America.” That means a lot. 🌎⚑️

Tom Stoppard holds a special place in my heart and, I suspect, in the heart of everyone else who was ever told they thought too much to be an actor.

R&G may be the best play of the 20th century, but Arcadia is, for me personally, the best play of the last 400 years.

I am a strong believer that every household bookshelf should have a Tom Stoppard section. RIP.

Americans cite corruption as the #1 threat to our future. Trump is running the most transparently corrupt White House in history. Democrats should be running hard on an anti-corruption platformβ€”and I'm psyched to see my old friend @cammiecroft.bsky.social leading that charge.

This β€œdeal” would force 370,000 Arizonans to pay more for the same or worse healthcare coverage.

I refuse to make life harder for the people I serve. I’m absolutely a NO.
