In March, I stood my ground in the Texas legislature to fight Betsy DeVos’s school voucher schemes.

Now running for Congress at home in Michigan, I stand with @betoorourke.bsky.social @jamestalarico.bsky.social @ginaforaustin.bsky.social as they fight that legislature’s redistricting power grab.

@governor.ca.gov serves a #CupOfJoe that we all need.

“..standing firm & trying to hold the line on democracy. Our freedoms. Our liberties. Things that we can no longer take for granted.”

The MAGA movement is a regime that can & MUST be stopped by we, the people.

It's Sunday, so let’s give a shout out to R's who are doing the Lord's work by defending and covering up for a pedophile.

I guess since there's no commandment against it, they decided pedophilia is Jesus approved.

Trump isn't threatening Beyonce, Springsteen, Bono, and Oprah because he expects them to be charged with anything.
He is threatening them to intimidate others from speaking up. That is because Trump fears your voice; he fears the power of the people.

Speak up.
Stand strong.
Organize.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

The GOP Tax Scam is exactly what it sounds like—a massive handout to the ultra-wealthy, paid for by slashing Medicaid and food aid. According to Trump’s own school, Wharton, the super-rich win and working families lose. It’s theft in plain sight.

"The fiscal problem that led to the downgrade would get worse because of the Republican’s megabill, which is the opposite of the line Trump and GOP leaders have brought to the public."

Up in the canopy, a Tawny Owlet keeps watch. 🦉

Owlets leave the nest before they can fly, clambering along branches on fluff and claws.

Both parents feed chicks by night, guided by hungry calls.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of Americans.

Republicans want to cut it to fund their reckless agenda to give tax breaks to their wealthy donors.

Don't Cut Our Medicaid

P.S. If you think this was spontaneous, it wasn't. The amount of material @booker.senate.gov has researched and prepared is staggering. This is a coordinated effort and more of what we need to see from Dems.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.

The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.
