A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Americans know the 1st Amendment gives us the right to protest peacefully. Who are these folks who vilify protesters & label, “not like us?” Degrading groups of folks is dangerous. We are stronger showing up and standing up for our neighbors! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/WcMMDBth

Speaking freely is a right, it matters deeply to us. When pundits & politicians vilify folks who stand up for their beliefs, I ask "Why?" Is it about safety...or control? It's not about patriotism.

Overnight, Senate Republicans released updated text of their Big, Ugly Bill and made it even worse than their initial terrible proposal.
Instead of cutting $880 BILLION from Medicaid, they are now cutting $930 BILLION from Medicaid—nearly $1 TRILLION!
Senate Democrats will continue to fight it.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.
