As a Christian on this day and all days I want to remind us all that Jesus message was simple: love your neighbor, feed people, don’t judge, humility, and pray in your closet so it’s not an act or a show.

You’ve already lost the plot when you think feeding kids is bad.

We are witnessing the eradication of #disabled ppl. We will die w/o access to healthcare. We will die w/o the meager amount disability provides us to live. We will die w/o medical research to treat us. Kids won't get jobs w/o accessible schools. Good countries don't kill their disabled population.
Cutting Medicaid and gutting the CDC strips away health care from Americans who are already struggling.

These are lives, not line items. Health care is a basic human right, and everyone deserves access.

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check.

Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation.

Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

Pete Hegseth recklessly disclosed sensitive military attack plans that jeopardized American lives.

And previously embarrassed us in front of our NATO allies in Brussels.

Why does this guy still have a job?

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Between the arrogant tech twerps who think “we’ve got this,” and the malicious characters behind them who want the system to break, so they can fix it through privatizing with tech bros and private equity, there’s a LOT to worry about here.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

There’s no way to spin this. This administration is a disaster. Appreciate @markwarner.bsky.social for ripping into these officials. They should all be fired.

While Trump spreads fear and undermines our nation’s history as a beacon of hope, I’m standing with orgs like Refugee Dream Center who have been supporting refugees in RI for the past ten years.

Trump admin moves to deport a legal immigrant on a valid visa. Judge orders them not to. Trump does it anyway.

So what’s the remedy here?

A court order that would have delayed the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh was issued while her plane was on the tarmac, but it took off anyway.

Let's be clear: A symbolic vote against final passage of this extreme MAGA spending bill is meaningless after giving up real leverage on the cloture vote. The 10 Democrats who voted with the GOP think they can fool you with this performative resistance. All of them will have to answer for this vote.
