🚨This isn’t being talked about enough.
Republicans want to quietly strip courts of the power to enforce laws.
Section 70302 of their budget bill would make it nearly impossible for courts to hold people in contempt—as Trump keeps defying the court.

Trump’s tax bill is a good deal for billionaires. But for the middle class? It’s loaded up with cuts to healthcare, SNAP and other essential programs—all to pay for tax cuts for people at the very top.

As Members of Congress, we can do more than just disagree or do an interview or send out a tweet. We can demand that the funding that we appropriated for these departments should be spent in the way that it was intended.

Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know?
$300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

House Republicans passed the SAVE Act yesterday. It’s a clear-cut case of voter suppression and threatens Americans’ ability to access and participate in our democracy — all under the guise of “election security.”
I spoke with @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social on @wtfshow.bsky.social explaining why.

Republicans' bogus "SAVE Act" is completely deceiving. This bill isn't saving anyone anything – it’ll cost Americans over $19B and prevent millions from voting. That's why on #TheFlipSide, my Democratic colleagues and I are suing Trump for his efforts to disenfranchise voters.

It’s already illegal to vote in our elections if you are not a citizen.
I voted no on this bill because it would force unnecessary federal changes to state voter registration and election procedures, creating more undue burdens for married women, military families, and seniors when they go to vote.
