Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Tonight is Dutch Remembrance Day. They honor the dead in WWII. They spent 5 years under Nazi occupation. 70% of their Jewish population was deported and murdered, the largest % of any nation. 300k ppl were hidden from Nazis by Dutch citizens, to include Anne Frank. 1/7

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?

TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?

TRUMP: I don't know

Thank you for providing this contact info. Please note, I'll be dropping contact information for all 50 states, so you can contact your state to find out what they're doing for you! As a state worker, I can tell from firsthand experience, contacting the governor about complaints and questions works.
To contact Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s office @govwesmoore.bsky.social regarding an educational campaign on legal interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), you can use the following methods: 🧵
🧵States across the country are reminding their residents and businesses of the state of what the law allows regarding interacting with ICE when they come to your community. This would seem normal right? To educate your state on what's legal and what's not legal? To this regime, it's somehow illegal.

What’s on the chopping block under Trump’s FDA?

-Quality control testing for milk & dairy products
-Routine testing for deadly bacteria in grocery items
-Monitoring food packaging for "forever chemicals"

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them.

Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK!

Crazy how that works!

This headline construction could apply to nearly anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration.

"The EPA Head Who Hates the Environment."
"The HHS Secretary Who Hates Science-Based Medicine."
"The Education Sec. Who Hates Education."
"The President Who Hates Democracy."

The nihilism is a throughline.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

House Republicans just passed a budget that sets the stage for devastating cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all so they can fund huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans & corporations.

Their plan demands $880 billion in “savings” from my committee, but the math only works by gutting health care.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it?

He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

America, we have a problem!

I've been asked on here what the military's obligation is around following unlawful orders, & what resources are available to them.

This article explains the obligation to refuse an unlawful order, with UCMJ citations, & provides a template for doing so.

Something feels different this morning. Could this be where we start to see the tide shift? Between Senator Cory Booker & the Wisconsin election, will our checks and balances start working?

Trump & Musk are not conservatives, they are narcissists.Will Congress stand up for us?

It is time.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
