Abortion is health care. So is gender-affirming care. Reproductive freedom includes the freedom to access abortion and gender-affirming care, regardless of your race, age, or immigration status. We must present a united front against the far-right attacks on trans youth. app.sosha.ai/s/ddf2O803

Tell Congress: Save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
On Thursday, President Trump fired nearly 90% of the employees at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB. Send a message to Congress: demand the CFPB be strengthened, not cut.

Great example - and explanation - of authoritarian propaganda here from Van Hollen, as he explains the lengths that the autocrat Bukele went to in order to influence public perception with those margarita glasses, and how Trump propagated it as well.
"This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what's going on. And it also shows the lengths Trump will go to" -- Van Hollen details how the photos appearing to show him and Abrego Garcia with margaritas were staged by the government of El Salvador

Deep respect to Sen. Tammy Duckworth for saying what too many won’t:
Republicans have shown ZERO resistance to Trump & Musk’s brutal agenda—jacking up costs, firing thousands of veterans, and threatening to gut Medicaid & Social Security.
If they cared, they’d grow a spine.

"The core of the document is saying the king is a tyrant. The argument of the Declaration is that the king was depriving the colonists of their rights. Some of those rights perhaps haven’t resonated w/Americans before now, like depriving them of trials or making them have trials far away from home."

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.
This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations
