It will happen. We are making it happen. Saturday's national protests were fantastic, everyone! Let's keep up the pressure. Democracy. US Constitution. Rule of Law. Due Process. Checks and Balances.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

Welcome news. Vouchers only tear at the fabric of public education, and are bad news for schools. According to the judge, the voucher program violates Article X and Article XIII of the Utah Constitution.

Utah’s school voucher program is unconstitutional, judge rules

A judge ruled Friday that Utah’s $100 million “Utah Fits All” scholarship program is unconstitutional.

100% This is what democracy - and a civil society - looks like!

@vanhollen.senate.gov thank you! Rule of law. Abrego Garcia. NO shipping people to the El Salvadoran gulag. BRING THEM ALL BACK to the USA. Due process of law for all.

This man was, is, and always will be unfit for U.S. Secretary of Defense. Inexcusable.

The 4/19 protest was strong in Jefferson City, Missouri, too! All the signs, many US flags, everyone shouting all the messages and marching around downtown back to the Capitol steps. Way to go, patriots! Keep up the pressure for democracy, the US Constitution, rule of law, checks and balances, USA!

Art of the Deal!

A tweet by Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank
) posted 14 hours ago features a cartoon by "BLOPER." The cartoon shows three men in a meeting room. One man is pointing at a chart with a fluctuating line that sharply drops, saying, "It was at this point, gentlemen, that the President decided it was his plan all along to reverse course." The other two men are seated at a table, listening.

Good on @piperformissouri.bsky.social Jess Piper, Missouri! U.S. Senators (R-MO), Hawley and Schmitt, will not show up to hold town halls. Nor will U.S. Rep. Alford, 4th District (R-MO). So each weekend we're letting them know what we want in front of their local offices.

NO tax cuts for the richest! What is the impact of deficit-funded tax cuts on the rest of us, to the economy, & long-term U.S. debt? This is what all actual journalists & news organizations should be asking. Because the GOP knows. They make this play every time. No falling for it. Ask the question.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Raise your hand. All U.S. elected should declare all assets before running for election. Upon being elected al assets should go into a blind trust for the duration of their time in office. NO more insider trading.

What about the small businesses crushed by the tariffs, incl. enormous one still imposed on China? NO to destroying small businesses - so the richest can buy up everything for pennies on the dollar. Yes to more economic policies that benefit individuals who actually work for a living. @aflcio.org

Important: People who struggle with diagnosed and undiagnosed mental illnesses are NOT all raging racial, religious, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation bigots! Those who display bigotry and hate do so because they are filled with bigoted views and hate towards others. No more excusing hate.

Secretary Noem has had plenty of time for cowboy cosplay and prison photo ops in El Salvador—but not to answer my basic questions about ICE detentions and deportations. Who’s being held? Why? Where is ANY shred of due process? This isn’t tough-on-crime. It’s lawless, cowardly, and un-American.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

This should have been the law years ago. All U.S. electeds must disclose all assets prior to election. All assets go into a blind trust for the duration while holding office. No more insider trading.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

The House passed legislation to prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, marking a significant step in an escalating Republican campaign targeting judges who have blocked some of Trump’s executive orders.

Re the Supreme Court temporarily blocking a lower-court order that would have forced the Trump administration to rehire 16,000 probationary federal workers who were fired. The decision is *narrow and not final* - justices said the block will stay in place as case continues.

That’s why they’re pushing so hard to change state voting laws and silence voices. The next big nationwide protest is on April 19th. Our goal: make it even bigger than the last—and register even more voters. Let’s show up, speak out, and make sure they can’t deny our numbers this time.

Cutting staff and Social Security is a way to cut access to benefits, a de facto cut in benefits. These are benefits that all people in the U.S. pay for during their working lives - and to which they are *entitled* by law. It is their money. It is our money. REINSTATE SOC SEC STAFF NOW!

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.

UNACCEPTABLE. Republican Congress and Project 2025 *cannot* be allowed to insist on the traditional approach towards taking another's last name upon marriage *and then* use it against women to prevent enormous numbers from voting! Call and say NO to this.
