Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Trump ended funding to Voice of America and Radio Liberty, forcing both to stop broadcasting to countries that restrict press freedom. VOA began operations in 1942; RL started in 1951. Why did Trump silence this voice against communism, fascism and oppression? Iran, Russia and China are thrilled.

Billionaires paying millionaires to convince the middle class to blame poor people. Meanwhile, the billionaires aren't paying any taxes and receive billions from the federal government. People have been falling for this for decades.

If you’re tired of @schumer.senate.gov constantly falling for the okey-doke and you want bold winning leadership that is willing to go on offense, then #TheReformers is for you. We are calling for Sen Schumer (D-NY) to step down from his leadership role and let someone else take over the reigns.

Attacks on universities are attacks on democracy and human progress. “University leaders would help themselves, and the country, by emerging from their defensive crouches and making a forthright case for inquiry, research, science and knowledge.”

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Jeffries: "The average Social Security recipient in the US receives about $65 a day in benefits. Elon Musk in his contracts with the federal government gets about $8 million a day. If they were really interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they would start there ... but they're going after grandma"

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

Starting my day with this happy notion: "Five #billionaires at #Trump’s inauguration (including #Musk) have lost a total of $209 billion in wealth since then." from Jessica Craven's newsletter. I hope this trend continues. They have lots more billions, they can afford to lose a lot more.
