There's currently nothing that better describes the state of our country than this photo of protesters being zip-tied to their wheelchairs for speaking out against cuts to programming that keeps them alive so that billionaires can have more billions, faster. Congrats on owning the libs though.

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Derrick Van Orden was the deciding vote to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” that could take health care away from Wisconsin families and take food assistance away from hungry kids — all so the GOP could fund an even bigger tax handout to billionaires.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.

All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Human rights aren’t negotiable. Worker protections aren’t optional. Rule of law isn’t a slogan. Get loud or get left behind.

Join me in sending Senator Booker a thank you card for his tenacity and courage today. Let's flood his office with encouragement and thanks!

What @booker.senate.gov is doing is incredible. This is the first time since Trump was elected and started dismantling the government and the constitution that I've felt pride to be an American. What an absolute act of majesty.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
