Tonight in the Rules committee, Republicans snuck in a provision so the House can’t vote against Trump’s tariffs for the next 5 months.
Families and small businesses are suffering. Republicans want to literally try to stop time and ignore reality.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.
Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?
1/ The President of the United States shared a racist video of former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama and it wasn't a mistake. It wasn't "racially tinged," and it follows a pattern of unabashed racism from Trump and MAGA. It's vile, offensive, and should be denounced by all Americans.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

My friends and neighbors in Bay Ridge don't deserve this — no one deserves this — and those who have few other feelings in life besides hate have been emboldened by a culture of "us vs. them."
Out with @bkindivisible.bsky.social at Rep Malliotakis' Brooklyn office, because she literally wants ICE to do to NYC what they did to Minneapolis.
There's no excuse for this trump sycophant, she's gotta go — and the community is organized. ✊
Happy Black History Month! We recognize those that truly helped build this nation and made us a more perfect and dynamic union.
👉 We won't let anyone erase or hide this history, these facts, these stories, and lives that are woven into the fabric of our nation.
I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
ICE murdered Alex Pretti without a thought.
👉 Abolish ICE and prosecute every last one of them —
HOLD. THEM. ACCOUNTABLE.
Out here in solidarity with the NYC Nurses on strike. Show your support for nurses fighting for safe staffing, healthcare benefits, and a fair contract. Join the picket line, send a message to the greedy CEOs, donate to the @nynurses.bsky.social strike hardship fund, and support nurses every day!
I tried giving Rep. Nicole Malliotakis her Christmas gift earlier but she's NEVER at work.
Hope she reads it.
Minneapolis.
Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University.
We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
Sad to hear about the two National Guardsmen who lost their lives, and livid they were put there for no reason other than political theater.
I remember a few years ago, one member of Congress called her “Perjury Taylor Greene.” The trash took itself out.
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
Yeah @mikedecillis.bsky.social, what Arnold Pataki said.
Bipartisanship requires that both sides view human beings as equal, and we're not even close to that.
No health care, no deal.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
We're like two weeks away from needing a permit and photo ID to get a Subway foot long

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."
Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.
Now let’s get to work.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.
I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.
“In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light.”
Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969
