Republicans falsely say their massive Medicaid cuts won't affect families in the Captiol Region. It's just not true.

I'm tired. We're all tired. But we're going to fight every second until we win. #Medicaid #Trump #MAGA #elonmusk

✊ I'll continue pushing for accountability and proper safeguards around our most sensitive information, regardless of which party controls the White House.

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ The American people deserve way better than these #MAGA national security amateurs who clearly missed the memo on basic protocols. Our brave military families shouldn't have war plans compromised because Trump's "genius" appointees can't follow simple classification rules.

🚨 When his "top-tier" security officials can't even handle classified docs properly, they're basically gift-wrapping intel for our enemies! Signal encryption means nothing when these "best people" are recklessly exposing our patriots and assets through their incompetence.

Trump ousts Mike Waltz, naming Marco Rubio as acting national security adviser after Signal chat mishap Waltz was among high-ranking members of the administration who accidentally shared plans about a forthcoming U.S. military attack with the editor of the Atlantic magazine on the messaging app.

Why not both? πŸ˜€ Let's keep up the pressure on reps - both GOP and my fellow Dems - on the Hill to make sure they're fighting this administration at every turn, at every illegal act they've done and plan to do.

Let's go!

As we mourn his passing, may we find strength in his humble faith, modest lifestyle, and pioneering work, and always remember his message that each of us has an important role in the responsible stewardship of our planet and in caring for one another.

World mourns Pope Francis, a humble reformer who favored 'the poorest': Live updates Francis' death comes one day after the pope, 88, greeted Easter Sunday crowds in his popemobile. He had battled a respiratory infection for weeks.

Our world has lost a truly extraordinary servant of the people. Pope Francis personified the values shared across all faiths, and as a respected global leader, he dedicated himself tirelessly to those who are so often overlooked. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

When President Trump suggests calling parties "foolish" and "horrible people" if they don't quickly accept terms, we're revealing a troubling disregard for the complexities of this war and the sacrifices Ukrainians have made.

My hope is this spirit will guide us to policies & actions that unite rather than divide, lift up the vulnerable, & create opportunity for all Americans regardless of background or belief. I believe we can & mustβ€”work together to build a future where every voice is heard and every person is valued.

Reagan appointee Judge Wilkinson:

β€œIf today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?”

This statement about autistic children is deeply misinformed and harmful. It perpetuates dangerous stereotypes that don't reflect the reality of autism spectrum disorder. And this is coming from our HHS Secretary.

We're in MASSIVE trouble here, folks.

Trump secured a second term in part by promising to lower costs for families and rein in inflation. But, not even three months into this administration, his policies have done exactly the opposite.

In return to national stage, Biden accuses Trump of 'taking a hatchet' to Social Security Former President Biden accused Donald Trump of "taking a hatchet" to the Social Security Administration as he made a return to the national stage.

As Trump flouts the courts and refuses to bring back a wrongly deported man, it's important to remember that concentration camps in #Nazi Germany were independent of judicial review, too.

It's terrifying that Trump's incompetence can send an American citizen to an El Salvador prison, admit the mistake, and refuse to do anything. This is a human life. Every citizen should be outraged and worried about what's to come next.

Market volatility we're seeing isn't just numbers on a screen, it's real retirement accounts, college savings, & financial security for millions. When billionaires like Musk & Trump push policies that favor short-term gains for the few over long-term stability for all, Main St pays the price.

Congress must fight for policies that strengthen the middle class, create sustainable jobs, and build lasting prosperity. Our financial markets should reflect real economic strength - not just enrich those who already have more than their fair share.

Musk & Trump policies focusing on deregulation and tax advantages for the ultra-wealthy are creating market uncertainty that hurts everyday investors. Americans deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the very top.
