January 6, 2021 was not a protest. It was an insurrection. Trump glorified and rewarded that violence. Honoring Jan 6 means rejecting lies, condemning violence, & standing with the officers who defended democracy.

Believe it or not, Republicans are still voting to raise our health care costs, while Democrats are fighting to #StopTrumpsHealthCareCuts.

Watch and see which Republicans vote to raise your premiums.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: Trump "said he was gonna lower costs, he did the opposite. He said he was gonna make healthcare more affordable, he did the opposite. He said that America would become a more peaceable place on his watch. We are seeing instead how he is deliberately stirring up chaos."

Child care is essential to families, workers, and businesses.

Instead of doing anything to make it more affordable, Donald Trump is trying to punish people he disagrees with.

We won’t stand for it here, so Illinois is taking it to court.

Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.

He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."

All files are required by law to be released today.

Release the files and let the chips fall where they may. We’re not worried about party, but there’s one main character who’s been gaslighting and trying to prevent the release. That screams a lot of things, but innocence isn’t one of them.

Trump wants DC's crime numbers to be high so he can seize power here and look legitimate while he does it.

If DC's numbers aren't what he wants, he's willing to go back and erase them.

The Russian I mean Trump regime’s attack on our access to the news goes deeper.

Republicans aren’t content just to defund NPR and PBS. They’re going after their licenses too.

Get rid of Republicans, not information.

For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

True, the Supreme Court can’t overrule or rewrite the Constitution. But they CAN “interpret” it. Therein lies the problem. Because this Court has perverted the law so many times, even clauses that seem thoroughly immutable can’t be considered safe.
There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.
