Three years ago we lost 19 children and 2 teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Very little has changed. Fight for common sense gun laws. Go to everytown.org to find out how to make change in your community. @everytown.bsky.social

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trump is fundamentally a criminal, and his foreign policy is about aiding his fellow criminals. New from @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fore...

Trump’s Foreign Policy: Felons First
The pattern is clear—he’s using American power not to help Americans but to shield foreign authoritarians from justice.

Trump never misses an opportunity to be racist and wrong, and every day he finds a new way to be embarrassing. Asking the President of Liberia where he learned English when it’s literally the official language is peak ignorance. (1/2)

Trump asks Liberian president where he learned English, his country's official language
President Donald Trump was basking in the praise of a group of African leaders on Wednesday, many of them speaking a different language, when the Liberian president took to his microphone and spoke in English - his country's official language.

Oversight Republicans spent their morning trying to grill Joe Biden’s doctor. I’m not sure why they’re so obsessed with him or stuck in the past. But, they could’ve been fixing the chaos they created, investigating real corruption, or doing literally anything useful.

The 14th Amendment was ratified today in 1868—guaranteeing equal protection under the law. 157 years later, Trump’s trying to erase it like it was a typo. No birthright citizenship. No due process. Just Trump doing what he does best—breaking the law.

We shouldn't need a Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but here we are. Still underpaid. Still undervalued. 66 cents on the dollar means we lose thousands every year, for doing the same job. Over a lifetime? That’s hundreds of thousands gone. Pay Black women. Period.

Republicans gutted emergency services, then dragged their feet when Texas was flooding. Rep. Casar and I are demanding answers from FEMA, NOAA, and the Commerce Department’s Inspector General about the delays, the cuts, & why help didn’t come sooner. Texans deserve answers & real accountability.

Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on. But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists. The American people deserve better.
