This bill is historic.

Washington is now the first state to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays.

We’re showing our Muslim friends and neighbors that we honor their culture and religious practice.
Honored to sign my first bill out in the community. Last night, we made Washington the first state to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays. Grateful for sponsors Sen. Trudeau and Rep. Salahuddin for their work on this important legislation.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings.

These are not deportations—they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

This is fascism.

I am optimistic because I am not alone.

I hope today demonstrates that truth to every American. We are not alone. The People have the power.

Trump and Elon are ALREADY cutting Social Security.

When they fire thousands of staff, jam up the phone lines, and shutter offices...

When they make it nearly impossible for you to talk to a real person to get the benefits you're owed—THAT'S A BENEFIT CUT.

Sen. Cory Booker is putting his body on the line, refusing to let the Senate carry on like democracy isn’t under siege. 👏 Billionaires are staging a hostile takeover, & too many are asleep at the wheel.

👀 We see who’s fighting & who’s complicit.

It’s pretty simple: when you do the same work as a colleague, you should get paid the same—no matter your gender.

That's why I'm proud to reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act and keep leading the fight to end wage discrimination.

Companies with the most at stake in the upcoming tax fight:

Alphabet
Apple
Bank of America
Citigroup
Comcast
GM
JP Morgan Chase

They and their CEOs just so happened to donate millions to Trump's inauguration. From @sludge.bsky.social: substack.perfectunion.us/p/corporate-...
Corporate Giants Hoping for Extension of Tax Cuts Funded Trump’s Inauguration
Trump raised a record amount for his inauguration—a sign that corporate America and wealthy individuals see value in making donations that put them in his good graces.

A bold new plan from @polrev.bsky.social - we must Reclaim our democracy. #50501movement #politicalrevolution
We MUST overturn Citizens United if we want to bring power back to the people. Corporate donors have controlled our government for too long. It's time to work on taking it back.

Check out our mission statement. Know that we can't make it happen without your help!

The Republican policy on Social Security is to create so much red tape for you that it's harder to get the benefits you've paid into your entire career.

Meanwhile, they'll keep lying about fraud and stealing from you to pass trillions in tax cuts for billionaires.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Here's the list of who needs to be primaried. They betrayed the American people. They are complicit in handing the power of Congress + a giant slush fund over to an unelected ketamine addict. That have betrayed the working class and thrown away the only leverage Dems had in Congress. For what?

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

These dems own it.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Everyone who subs to Wa Post needs to cancel immediately if they haven't already. While you're at it, boycott Twitch, Amazon, Audible, Whole Foods, Zappos, AirBNB, IMDb, Nextdoor...Power to the People and fuck Bezos' pro-Russia fashy propaganda.
This is an opinion piece that evidently meets Jeff Bezos' new test for supporting "personal liberties and free markets."

Support pro-democracy independent media.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵

legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...
a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

While the Trump administration threatens access to reproductive care, we're defending your freedoms here in Washington.

I'm committed to implementing a rule making it clear that hospitals must provide abortions in emergencies.
