Republicans have a multilayer plan for healthcare in our country.

Unfortunately, it’s #DontGetSick and #GoFundMe

Fun fact: The two year period that a member of Congress serves is typicallly known as a Session.

However, for this one, it will be called a Cession.

"We are all going to die," is the GOP platform.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online.

Right wing media (both β€œnew” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process. The Government's contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable.

β€˜This is a Path of Perfect Lawlessness’: Court Condemns Trump Over Wrongful Deportation Read more here.

NEW: The 4th Circuit rejects Trump’s bid to overturn a ruling requiring the return of a wrongfully deported Maryland father. The court described the deportation as "a path of perfect lawlessness."

The administration has appealed to the Supreme Court.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.

But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

The people still have the power.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧡 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home.

The definition of evil.

Senator Booker β€” what a fighter. I thank @booker.senate.gov for his extraordinary, record-breaking effort to speak on behalf of and give voice to so many Americans who are alarmed and anxious about the dismantling of cherished and bedrock contracts between the people and their federal government.

Ignore the third term talk - it’s meant to distract you, and it’s working.

It’s fine to be old, young, irreligious, religious, straight, queer, this, that.
It’s fine to be different. We’re all different.
It’s fine to seek happiness, fulfillment, respect, love.
It’s fine.
Not hurting you.
Love thy neighbor.
Live and let live.
Equal rights.
Equal opportunity.
Equal justice.

Two changes I request to current press coverage:

1. Change:
β€œsecond term”
To:
β€œfinal term”

2. Change:
β€œAdministration”
To:
β€œRegime”

Our entire national security leadership team is a national security risk.

That seems bad. Is it bad?

TO RECAP:
- they’re snatching innocent people off the streets
- they’re deporting people to supermax prisons solely because they have tattoos
- they’re using the Signal app (which holds messages temporarily) so evidence of their crimes isn’t found later
- Republicans are fine with all this

Thank you Senator Cantwell!!

The USAID OIG report goes into more detail on the human rights violations caused by this sloppily written executive order.

I’m hoping you can work with Secretary Rubio to mitigate these harms.

Lives are at stake.

You are on the right side of history - thank you!

I am for a very strong national privacy law to protect our consumers. So, I don't take lightly somebody getting access to accounts and information, storing it, moving it around, sharing it with other people. I'm not for the government doing this kind of thing without oversight.

A group of WA farmers told me their products were stuck on a dock in Houston because USAID operations were shut down. They don't think they're ever going to get delivered, and they sure as heck don't think they're going to get paid. Is that what we want to do?

California Congressman @ericswalwell.bsky.social joined Marc Elias to discuss the first few weeks of the second Trump administration, how Trump’s actions are harming our democracy and security and Democrats’ plan to fight back.
