CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A legally blind, 65 yr-old woman: has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can't afford food under Trump. "The end is coming near. Under Joe Biden I received $80 SNAP per month & was able to put away $100 per month for food. Trump took that away from me." #sheshed

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Sixteen years in MN and I’ve never set foot in this miraculous place: a midwestern dive bar where everyone is Hmong, with an attached pool hall, EDM stage, and where you can order pho until midnight. The idea people would want to kick immigrants out of this region is insane.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

This is from a twitter post from 2018 by Rep. Rick Larsen, is what I found when I searched this image. Apparently it was a parade in DC. If we can't get our wish and he *does* get his ego-stroking parade, I hope it is even emptier of onlookers than what we see here.

An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Today’s number of the day is 52—the percentage of counties in the U.S. that don’t have a single hospital that provides obstetric care. And now, Republicans want to gut Medicaid—the largest payer of maternity care—to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

It’s 2025, and women are still paid less than men for the same work. The gender wage gap has widened to 75¢ on the dollar. This is unacceptable. This Equal Pay Day, I join my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues in fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.

They lied. Then they tried to cover their tracks. But worst of all—through an egregious national security failure—they could have gotten American troops killed. They must resign or be fired. Immediately.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a Wall Street *billionaire* who’s completely out of touch, is pushing the outrageous lie that claiming Social Security is “stealing” from the government. Let’s be clear: Social Security isn’t a handout. It’s an earned benefit. Seniors' livelihoods depend on it.
