If we can’t see the hypocrisy of claiming to be “pro life,” while also being pro assault rifles, pro war, pro death penalty, pro cutting healthcare, pro cutting food assistance, pro science denialism, and pro rolling back environmental protections now, I don’t think we ever will.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

50-year mortgages and 10-year car loans are not making life more affordable for Americans. It's an admission that wages have not kept up, even remotely, with inflation, and that Americans can not afford the basics of life without being burdened with life-long debt.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Today is Pentecost, and at church this morning, reading through the story in the book of Acts, I was imagining the voices of joyful cacophony of other languages. I turned to Doug and said, “It sounds like LA.” In this sprawling metropolis, we have Little India, Little Tokyo, Little Korea,…🧵

Trump is defying the courts and ignoring the Constitution while he and his friends get even richer. That means No Kings Day needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 1,000 events planned in all 50 states on June 14. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

🚨 We’re hearing the crypto-friendly bill that would enable Trump’s corruption could get another Senate vote on Thursday. Democrats can block this bill, but that’s not going to happen unless they hear from a lot of us. Let’s get to work: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
These Senate Democrats need to hear from their constituents right now:

Ruben Gallego (AZ)
Adam Schiff (CA)
John Hickenlooper (CO)
Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE)
Raphael Warnock (GA)
Catherine Cortez Masto (NV)
Andy Kim (NJ)
Ben Ray Luján (NM)
Kirsten Gillibrand (NY)
Mark Warner (VA)

Tell your senators to vote NO on the GENIUS
Act, the crypto-friendly bill that would enable Trump's corruption.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Now, the USPS is preparing to push back as Trump moves to dissolve its leadership and bring the independent agency under his administration’s control. America, this cannot be allowed—protecting the USPS is essential. Please share this and call Congress.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

It takes over 25 ¶¶ before WaPo explains why Trump is failing to meet the deportation numbers he promised: Stephen Miller lied about the number of criminal aliens in the US to fearmonger and get Trump elected. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, said that the Trump administration is justifying its mobilization on the basis of “an invasion that doesn’t exist.”

Just asking questions.
Anna Bower, on X, replies to a Stephen Miller tweet. 

Miller’s tweet reads: “If a district court judge wants control over the entire executive branch…he should run for president.”

Bower replies: “Hi Stephen, I have some questions about your views on judicial power. Looking forward to hearing your response!”

Below that text, Bower quote tweeted a series of questions she asked Miller the day before regarding tweets he posted during the Biden administration. She wrote: “Hi Stephen, didn’t you once describe a nationwide TRO as “great news”? Didn’t you work for an organization that repeatedly sought nationwide injunctions to block Biden era policies? Aren’t you the same guy who said “defying a federal court injunction is an impeachable offense”?” 

A series of screenshots of Miller’s tweet accompany the questions.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.
