Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that weโ€™d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

In Washington, everything appears to be for sale And the government has given up on prosecuting corruption

In the past ten months Donald Trump has dismantled the government's anti-graft apparatus. The result is a widespread perception that the White House is pliable and that activity once treated as scandalous or punishable will be tolerated, if not welcomed

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.

Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.

America deserves better.

$37T deficit is because this administration is spending wildly and tax breaks for the wealthy. It's not sustainable and Republicans do this every single time they're in control.

Governor Moore and AstraZeneca Announce $2 Billion Investment to Expand Manufacturing in Maryland, Supporting 2,600 Jobs

We've announced the largest private capital investment in Maryland in the last 10 years.

This partnership will bring hundreds of new jobs to our state, strengthen our countryโ€™s medicine supply chain, and accelerate the development of life-saving therapies.

This is lunacy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is, at best, an environmental lawyer. He has no experience or degree in medicine or science.

This is tantamount to me, an English major, giving NASA a Post-It outlining how they should revise their entire approach to the astrophysics of dark energy.

US federal employees were stripped of their collective bargaining rights under a Trump executive order, but now may get them back. Dems got enough signatures on a discharge petition to force a vote in the House. Great job Dems! Sidestepped Johnson! thehill.com/homenews/hou... @demsabroad.bsky.social

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items โ€œpotentially divisive.โ€

Only a few generations ago our armed forces fought against these hate symbols and the dangerous ideologies they represented.

Bigotry is not โ€˜potentially divisiveโ€™ โ€” itโ€™s a blight on the past and present and an antagonist to the success of our armed forces.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit โ€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesnโ€™t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Donald Trump's idiotic proposal to sell off California's coasts to his Big Oil donors is dead in the water.

We will not stand by as our coastal economy and communities are put in danger.

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we pause to honor the transgender people lost to anti-trans violence this past year.

This is not just a statistic; each number is a human being, loved and missed. We remember them. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress.

We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Kamala Harris was recently in Toronto, talking about her 2024 presidential campaign. She was asked what advice sheโ€™d give to the Democratic Party for the next elections.
โ€œThey are cheating!โ€
