There is no moral courage in this group. No spine. No balls.

I believe the Senate will make a change to the bill just so it has to go back to the House

That is our last hope

Start calling & emailing your representative daily!
Important to note: The bill is not final. It now has to go to the Senate. If the Senate makes ANY changes to the bill, it will go back to the House for another vote.

The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. Call, text, email, or fax your senators.

The GOP just rammed through a budget that starves kids, abandons seniors, and guts Medicaid—all to bankroll billionaires. It’s a moral disgrace.

Democrats fought like hell for 30 hours to stop it. Now it heads to the Senate. We need to rise up, unify, & have their backs.

This is a war on humanity.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Republicans are spreading lies about the Medicaid work requirements in their budget bill. Here are the facts:

-The majority of Medicaid recipients who can work are already working
-Work requirements do not increase employment
-Access to affordable healthcare, like Medicaid, does

Know the truth.

Verizon ended its DEI policies.

They told employees that they were required to by SCOTUS and Trump's Executive Orders — they lied.

They did it so the FCC would approve their $20B acquisition of Frontier.

Corporate greed over what's right, every time.

Verizon said it was "fiercely committed to diversity and inclusion." Verizon lied.
"Verizon is fiercely committed to diversity and inclusion across all spectrums because it makes us and the world better."

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.
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.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Looks headed to contempt:

"Judge Murphy said he believed it was likely a violation of his previous order...when he directed the Trump administration not to deport immigrants to countries other than their own without first giving them 15 days’ notice to raise concerns that they might face danger"

Transgender Day of Visibility isn’t just about being seen or heard. It’s about being recognized and respected. For trans people, visibility can be empowering and at the same time dangerous, almost an impossible choice between pride and safety. Uplift our voices and make the world safe for us too.

More on lightening up for #spring. Though #ayurveda recommends a daily #walk year round, spring is a wonderful time to re-think, re-energize, and #renew our relationship with #walking. There are so many #health benefits of a consistent daily walk.

Unacceptable! We need Social Security more than ever as the 1% has eroded pay, protections & working conditions for decades and won’t be satisfied until they’ve taken everything from the people to line their pockets. Greed is a sickness & hoarding of wealth is a huge moral failure. #resist #fight
Social Security is a promise that this nation made to itself 90 years ago this August. And now in 2025, that promise is being broken.

If Elon Musk can close a busy metropolitan NYC Social Security office, there is no safe office in this country. - Rich Couture, President of AFGE Council 220

It’s a gentle rainy morning & #birds are singing. 🌧️🐦‍⬛ I’m grateful🙏🏼 My heart goes out to those dealing with scary #weather & I will send financial aid where need arises.
