Please call your representatives and tell them to vote NO for the big ugly bill.
You can call all representatives, not just yours. Let them know how cruel it is. Tell them that you will support anyone who runs against them who would actually represent their constituents and has a backbone

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Let’s be perfectly clear about the Realities of life. No one knows who is going to lose their job or home, πŸ’° develop a catastrophic illness, suffer a natural calamity, accident, or die suddenly, so why the F..k not act accordingly? Live honorably and treat others the way you want to be treated.

JUST NOW: β€œThis should be eye-opening for everyone. It is happening in our state.”

ICE just detained up to 100 people in Nashville β€” we’re told at least one says MNPD participated in her detention

After the Steelers selected Derrick Harmon with the 21st pick, his voice cracked on a conference call as he shared the news.

His mother was on life support at a local Detroit hospital.

Harmon was able to tell his mom he got drafted on Thursday night before she died.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Great News For Us, Awful News for Trump Onward.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: β€œYou run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Let’s call it what it is: Trump and congressional Republicans are trying to cut health care, food assistance, and education for working Americans to pay for tax cuts to their billionaire donors.

I pledge Freedom over Fascism When others give up, you show up. Courage is not the absence of fear. It's the will to persevere even in the face of fear. Will join us in taking a pledge for Freedom over Fascism? https://a...

Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelenskyβ€”and my embarrassment as an Americanβ€”just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!” What has happened?

More and more Republicans in Congress are starting to push back against Elon Musk’s reckless cuts, mass firings, and senseless attacks on the federal government.

Hegseth on CQ Brown: "Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt β€” which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter."

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Medicare stops access to #Telehealth April 1st for almost all. [Even rural pts must drive to a πŸ₯ office 1st & THEN get telehealth.]

This will lead to:
1️⃣ less access to specialty care
2️⃣ poorer outcomes
3️⃣ higher costs for people with cancer

#Telemedicine was a step forward. Let's not fall back.
