Don’t know about “this is what America has always been” but this ramping up of violent, disrespectful behavior is disgusting.

Today @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I are taking questions from Marylanders about the GOP's billionaire tax giveaway and attacks on health care — and how we're fighting back.

House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans.

Shoulder to shoulder, the people say 'hell no.' Hang tough everybody.

Elon Musk's illegal operation has nothing to do with efficiency and everything to do with dismantling public services that benefit all to rig our government for billionaires like himself.

It's been a scam from the start — and the American people know it:

So many things going on, I know. But really, shut down the Office of Gun Violence Protection in the same week of gun violence on campus at FSU

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America.

How does Trump respond?

Shuts down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Now they’re defunding the programs we use to stop gun violence. This is madness.

Why does he still have this job??
NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth:

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Plenty of cuts affecting so many (VA, National parks, science, NOAA, education, DEI, …) the list goes on. Stand up and resist where you can.
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.

What universe indeed; not one I want to live in. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov
Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Senators stand up!! It is clear what is happening here. Trump is joining forces with Russia against Ukraine and in so doing also threatening Europe.
Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

The work of @joshcowenmsu.bsky.social is key to understanding the voucher issue:
“The widespread adoption of vouchers, Cowen explains, was a policy coup staged by billionaires who were libertarians or religious zealots or both.”

Yet vouchers don’t work.
