AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.
We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.
We will rally every corner of the U.S.
We will not stop until they actually vote no.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

In an act that makes my prostate hurt even thinking about it, Corey Booker showed the only model that will help the Democrats survive—total opposition.
He broke segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record.
Chuck Schumer should step aside for him tomorrow.

A commitment to #DEI (and I don't mean "chequity" or performative advertisement for personal or financial gain) isn't something you "end"; when it's genuine, it's an intentional practice and belief in conscientious compassion and kindness, context, empathy, and no one can ever make you "end" that.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
