Hi. Quick intro. That's me, Eddie, on the floor. That's my youngest kiddo Kenji in the chair. He's a rascally teenager with disabilities caused by genetic mutations. His diagnosis is called #syngap1 and comes with epilepsy, autism, adhd, developmental delays and behavioral issues. He is my why.

Trans people are valid. Trans people have and always will exist. Trans people are our neighbors, our volunteers, our friends, our family. We will NEVER stop fighting for our trans siblings.

NEW: The CBO says Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill will add $4.1 trillion to the deficit, $700 billion more than previously estimated

Anyone who voted for this disastrous bill should sit out every conversation on debt and deficits.

For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.

PULLED FROM THE VAULT: Reagan once sold the lie that “anyone can become an American.”

Now here we are:
Trump’s openly laying the groundwork for dictatorship, lying on live TV, and unleashing political purges.

Reagan must be proud. His hypocrisy finally came home to roost.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

Today at a Foreign Affairs Committee briefing on USAID I asked Trump's head of USAID Pete Marocco, as the overseer of democracy and free elections programming globally, whether he was at the Capitol on January 6th.

He refused to say no.
Closely approaching the Streisand effect.

🚨This is their 2nd attempt at removing this image🚨

Why don't they want you to see this pic of Trump appointee Pete Marocco and wife, Merritt Corrigan, before they crawl through a broken Capitol window?

I remember when my kid was playing club soccer and at a certain age, I realized that the parents had to stop yelling about other teams playing aggressively and maybe our kids needed to get scrappier and take some fouls. The refs aren't pulling any cards so it's time to start fouling back. #democats

It all keeps driving in a scary direction away from democracy and freedom.
NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover.

Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment."

WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.
Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story
New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Fuck Trump.
While Trump drones on with his lies, let's remember: He's no king.

We'll keep fighting his agenda in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

Gotta post a couple cute pics of the kid! Man, we have been tethered to our house SO much this last month. Can't believe we had two bouts of illness and isolation! But the weather is lovely, we weren't sick for long and have been biking again. I think it was rare disease day yesterday? #syngap1

I LOVE to see the people out there advocating for their rights, speaking loudly and holding their public servants accountable. And it's pretty clear that a lot of folks do NOT like Elon or DOGE.
