Like tough-love teachers from your school days, Ms. Clinton brings an assignment for the long weekend:
When you gather with friends & family, tell them how the GOP budget hurts kids.
Now we know: she’s been right all along.

In paeans to Springsteen's bravery for standing up to this regime, do not throw The (Dixie) Chicks under the bus as having an easier time or less moral courage. Try being an outspoken woman in this world in this century. The Chicks earned our respect. They still have it. @nicollewallace.bsky.social

On January 6, 2021, President Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol—and yet the plaque honoring the officers who defended us sits forgotten in the basement.
If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will.
I’m proud to affix this replica outside my office.

Yesterday, in the context of an emergency (there was none) motion with no argument and limited briefing, the Court overturned almost a century of precedent to just about end independent agencies. This is not how real courts behave.

Jen Kiggans voted for the GOP’s budget bill, which includes massive Medicaid cuts, because she’d rather be in good graces with Trump than protect Virginians’ health care. Despicable. #VA02

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans.

The next 100 days will be tougher than the last, they expect you to burn out and accept it, they expect you to stop protesting and sit quietly at home. They expect you to submit yourself to fascism and just let it happen. You are better than that. Make them expect your diligence and consistency. #3E

Trump’s acceptance of the Qatari jet is yet another example of this administration’s rampant corruption… and opens up a whole host of security concerns. Another new low from an administration that can’t stop embarrassing itself.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
