I'm sorry I forgot to post about this but there is a special election in Connecticut's 113th district.

While it is a Republican leaning seat, I want you to get out to vote for the Democrat if you live in this part of Connecticut and "retweet" this and share this offline if u can.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

But, instead of taking action, Trump refused to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia and is now even threatening to deport U.S. citizens to El Salvador.

This situation is appalling, and I will not stand idly by as this administration disappears Americans to foreign prisons.

Bice: Elon Musk group removes video from $1M winner after she says she got money to 'vote' Elon Musk's super PAC removed an X video from a $1M giveaway winner in which she said she received the money, in part, to 'vote.'

Direct evidence of criminal election bribery under Wis. Stat. Β§12.11:

β€œβ€˜My name’s Ekaterina Deistler,’ she said in a video posted Monday morning. β€˜I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.’”

A graphic reads: The Wall Street Journal, WASHINGTONβ€”Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would significantly cut the size of the department he leads, reshaping the nation’s health agencies and closing regional offices.

Let’s be very clear about what these layoffs represent:

This is an assault on Medicare.
This is an assault on Medicaid.
This is an assault on families and consumers across America.

Once again, the Trump Administration is ignoring science, putting American lives at risk, and leaving us dangerously unprepared for future public health crises.

WTF. This is insane.

For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

For over 100 years this library straddling Vermont's border with Canada has been a real representation of our harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship with our neighbor. This decision is simply wrong.
