Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”

@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”

NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*

(not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

“What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

We are supposed to be a democracy.

Elected officials are supposed to listen to the vast majority of the American people when they say:

NO tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy

NO cuts to Medicaid

NO more billionaires buying elections

BREAKING: Physicians and ACLU sue HHS, RFK Jr. over "gender ideology" censorship in patient safety forum. The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration violated the free speech of private citizens who had posted peer-reviewed articles on the federal government-hosted Patient Safety Network website.

We sued the Trump administration over the removal of scientific research by private doctors from a government website.

The government cannot censor vital scientific research to advance its political agenda.

GAVIN NEWSOM: So, again, you were talking about the importance of-

EDGAR THE BUG WEARING HUMAN SKIN FROM MEN IN BLACK: SUGAR WATER

GAVIN NEWSOM: Yes, sugar water. And my party hasn't acknowledged how much people love sugar and water. My son was shouting SUGAR WATER at me the other day on xbox.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.

‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will blow a massive hole in our state budget and leave thousands without care.

There’s a storm coming from Washington. Republicans and Democrats should work together to protect our state from Trump.

Defend our people, not the President.

I’m like 99% sure that mice don’t even have genders.

I’m not sure if you’ve commented on it at all(if so I haven’t seen it), but the Cass review. I know it’s kind of old news now, it was published in 2024. But it’s been referenced often in anti- trans rhetoric more recently.

The stakes are just too high.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

When Trump effectively shuts down the NLRB, corporate bosses can illegally fire workers who are trying to form a union and flagrantly violate labor laws.

Today, I am reintroducing the PRO Act to strengthen unions, and restore power and legal rights to workers.

Stop the SAVE Act The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote.

Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

Another Texas bill that has no chance of passing, but its wild what the fringe is putting out there.

Literally makes it "fraud" to be trans.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration must pay U.S. businesses and nonprofits the congressionally authorized $2B they’re owed for work already completed for USAID.

This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. President Trump has a constitutional duty to comply with this order.

I'm sorry, but the Democratic party leadership needs to go.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.

The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable.

Are we really surprised given Trump’s comments on POW during his first campaign?

If you come to West Texas, I’ll be there and I know a lot of other people who would too @governorwalz.mn.gov

Hey ACLU of TX, will you be addressing the issue of SB 3399? This would update the current ban of gender affirming care for minors to include people of all age groups.

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy.

Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.
