LAST CHANCE: Proponents of the anti-voter SAVE Act are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to require documents like a passport in order to register to vote. Tell the Commission: Don’t make it harder for Americans to cast a ballot bit.ly/4ngSyyl

Feeling powerless doesn’t mean you are powerless Fear and power are being used to silence dissent. But the protests over Disney censoring Jimmy Kimmel shows people are finding courage.

There is momentum.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of so much wrong. But the growing chorus of dissent over Disney censoring Jimmy Kimmel shows people are finding courage.

Let’s be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act.

Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.

Trump wants to appear all-powerful, but he is an unpopular lame-duck president.

Every segment I was able to catch of Senator Cory Booker's speech was impactful, and I encourage everyone to watch the powerful moments in this (comparatively) short clip.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Cory Booker's anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor has lasted 16 hours and counting The New Jersey Democrat has been criticizing the Trump administration's policies on immigration, education, the economy and more since 7 p.m. Monday. Here's what to know about his marathon speech.

On a day when thousands of our friends and colleagues are losing their jobs, we are grateful to those who stand up against this administration's harmful, heartless policies and goals.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

Together with progressive partners, we’re planning a massive mobilization in the streets to translate the anger with Trump’s power grab into a nationwide show of defiance.

House Dems stand with our leadership in holding the line for working people.

NO to this Trump/Elon spending bill that aims to make massive cuts to programs that working families have earned in order to give billionaires tax cuts.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

If this is true, why are you only making this argument now? Why are you leaving bargaining chips on the table and giving Musk and Trump a blank check to continue destroying our democracy?

Last night, 99% of House Republicans voted to codify the Trump-Musk coup.

Every Democrat except Rep. Golden stood united against this extreme MAGA spending bill.

Senate Democrats still have the power to stop this sham of a government funding bill by holding the line. Contact your senators ASAP. πŸ‘‡

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

Remember, the resistance won’t be televised.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.
