I'm sorry I forgot to post about this but there is a special election in Connecticut's 113th district.

While it is a Republican leaning seat, I want you to get out to vote for the Democrat if you live in this part of Connecticut and "retweet" this and share this offline if u can.

Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against him. The Constitutional Crisis is no longer some abstract idea, it's right here staring us in the face.

But, instead of taking action, Trump refused to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia and is now even threatening to deport U.S. citizens to El Salvador.

This situation is appalling, and I will not stand idly by as this administration disappears Americans to foreign prisons.

Let’s be very clear about what these layoffs represent:

This is an assault on Medicare.
This is an assault on Medicaid.
This is an assault on families and consumers across America.

Once again, the Trump Administration is ignoring science, putting American lives at risk, and leaving us dangerously unprepared for future public health crises.

WTF. This is insane.

For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.
Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

For over 100 years this library straddling Vermont's border with Canada has been a real representation of our harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship with our neighbor. This decision is simply wrong.
Nearly two months after Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem made provocative comments at a library straddling the northern border that once symbolized the friendship between the United States and Canada, the US government has said it will restrict Canadian access to the beloved institution.
US to limit Canadian access to beloved cross-border library where Kristi Noem taunted hosts - The Boston Globe
The library astride the border has long allowed those in Canada to enter the building from the US side without going through customs. That arrangement is ending.

Congress has 9 days to avert a government shutdown, and what are we voting on today?

Disapproval resolutions about rubber tires and (surprise surprise) APPLIANCES!
Congress has only 10 days until a government shutdown, and Speaker Johnson still hasn’t brought a single one of the 12 spending bills he promised.

We can’t just pass a clean CR, which might fund waste and continue the status quo. So where are the bills?
