Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.

He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.

Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

Or how about you aggressively lobby the GOP MDs who gave RFK carte blanche??

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall.

He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.”

Then came the truth:
“I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.”

Even telling him it’s time to step down.

Never a bad time to remind everyone you know that Trump ran on making things more affordable.

Instead he imposes new & crushing taxes through his tariffs—and makes the largest cuts to health care EVER, while ensuring higher premiums for everyone.

Except it’s not either/or, @nbcnews.com Both are important - legislation which harms the middle class and the president may have been involved in a deplorable network of harm/exploitation.

Keep your eyes on both and speak out on everything.
Some Democrats say the Jeffrey Epstein saga is an unwelcome distraction that’s diverting attention away from Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," which they warn will cause millions of Americans to lose healthcare and food assistance.

The majority of Democrats are happy egging on the Republican fight over releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. But some members worry they're taking their eye off the ball.

Colbert isn’t going quietly after news of his show’s cancellation. South Park’s roasting CBS and Trump. House Democrats are forcing votes on Epstein files. And Trump’s approval ratings? Not looking too hot. Let’s count this week’s wins. 👏

As you know, last week it was reported that CBS would be ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next May, the timing of which seemed…suspicious.

Texas just passed laws gutting free speech on campus - banning protests, censoring faculty, & giving politicians the power to silence dissent. Other states - Arizona, Indiana, Ohio - are considering similar laws.

We must fight for academic freedom & democracy before it’s gone.

@nbcnews.com - why are you sanitizing the psychotic ramblings in your story? You cut out his paranoia and delusions - ultimately failing your duty to report the truth.

Safe to say DJT is in the files...

Now someone needs to get geri-psych involved and figure out if zyprexa or Seroquel would be better to manage his symptoms.
Donald Trump now claims Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden created the Epstein Files and says we should stop asking questions and just trust Pam Bondi. He calls the Epstein documents “Radical Left inspired” and says his DOJ should focus on other things.
