I offered an amendment to the Big, Ugly Bill that would have prevented millions of Americans from losing their health care coverage. Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for reminding the American people that Republicans voted it down.

Make your call today. On April 25th, in Frankenmuth, MI, Democrat @slotkin.senate.gov said she’s supporting GOP and agribusiness trying to cut farm worker wages. If you stand with farmworkers, act now. Protect farm worker wages!

Please take the two seconds it should take you to understand that the guy who recently took a chain saw to the Federal government and who is now complaining about there being too much spending in this awful GOP bill is not your friend and does not have the well being of your constituents in mind.

Fear activates the amygdala. Progress, on the other hand, is complex, slow, and demands critical thinking, cooperation, and hope.
Additionally, it’s easier to cater towards fear than it is to cater towards improvement.

USCP has arrested Reverend Barber.
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
