It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

The Constitutional crisis all Americans fear is here. A battle between the executive and judicial branches is underway.

The Trump regime defiantly refused to meet another court-issued deadline in the case of Kilmar Abrego García.

Dismissed was a federal judge’s deadline to disclose steps…

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

ICE raids in schools, hospitals, and churches are turning places of learning, healing, and worship into places of fear and suffering. Our Protecting Sensitive Locations Act would ban ICE from conducting enforcement actions from within 1000 feet of these sacred spaces.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

“I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.”

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.

Or in prison.

Not the Secretary of Defense.

Do I have that about right?
