Trump and Congressional Republicans may have shut the government down — but my office is OPEN to help Central Floridians and I'll keep fighting to protect affordable health care for all Americans. Please reach out if you have questions or need help navigating federal agencies.

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax. Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes. (Published Dec. 2024)

Epstein victims' attorney Kuvin: [Epstein's co-conspirators] remain unnamed. The feds know who they are, but they’re refusing to disclose it. The public needs to know, and the public deserves to judge for themselves why someone may have been at Epstein’s home with a bunch of topless underage girls

Trump to rebrand Defense Department as War Department. The cost of doing this is huge. The $ would be better spent on training & equipment. Worse, it’s a bad image that’s consistent with Trump’s likely illegal war crime destruction of a Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying drugs. Where will this end?

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 4 SEPTEMBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Massie Still Needs 2 VOTES RFKJR was an excruciating embarrassment today on the Senate floor. HE MUST RESIGN But also .. My college grandson and his buddies stopped by my house & said you must post this clip Please listen ⬇️

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Not looking good for Trump

The way that led us here cannot be returned to. Our systems of old must be exchanged for new. The people will devise a society of equity and justice. Not by returning to the past, but by forging the future. We will build a world of freedom—of compassion, respect, and love for all on our Earth.

Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

“It is also unclear why the Department of Justice — which has no role in administering elections — is so desperately trying to gain access to [voter] information… Whatever the reason, it’s a troubling sign of what’s to come,” @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

Senator Marsha Blackburn is now running for governor. Here is footage of Blackburn refusing to answer Epstein files questions from pro-Trump White House new media reporter Corrine Cliford. Instead, Cliford notes Blackburn’s staffer repeatedly pushes her and blocks her path.

Horrific. mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives and could save millions more. “I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, a UMN expert on infectious diseases & pandemic preparations. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-va...

Lisa Murkowski never fails to disappoint. Like the rest of her GOP colleagues, she’s a coward. We the people will remember every single person who voted to legalize this authoritarian regime. And when we return to power, we will hold all of these corporate-owned, self-serving traitors accountable.

West Chester PA today. 6,000 breaks today our old record of 5,000 for George Floyd.

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

Listen to Kristi Noems words while Senator Alex Padilla was being wrestled to the ground and arrested.

“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.” www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

All ready for tomorrow here in West Chester PA. We’re expecting a huge crowd like we had for George Floyd, 5,000. Philly will be really really big.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

The multitrillion-dollar Republican budget bill has a paragraph curtailing a court’s greatest tool for forcing the government to obey its rulings. The fact that it's included, shows how much Republicans are thinking about defying judges. Call your Senators, tell them to VOTE NO! (202) 224-3121

“Through interviews with me and others, [60 Minutes] painted a damning picture of a president out for retribution and a legal industry too cowardly to stand up to him,” Marc Elias writes. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

So, on Amazon Prime, they have censored the movie Robin Hood (2010) and removed the opening crawl where it's supposed to say: “In times of tyranny and injustice when the law oppresses the people, the outlaw takes his place in history”. #Censorship #Robinhood #UniversalPictures #Resist

Keeping communities safe is one of my top priorities. That’s why I wrote to the Department of Justice demanding that they reverse the abrupt cancellation of hundreds of grants that serve crime victims and improve public safety.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Trump is demanding that DOGE investigate polls after his favorability numbers tanked so badly that even Fox News couldn’t spin them to look good. He’s calling it all “fraud.” Seems like a very “efficient” use of tax dollars.

This is what AUTOCRACY looks like. Autocracy: a system of government by ONE person with absolute power, it includes some forms of monarchy and all forms of dictatorship, the opposite of democracy, the opposite of a "free country." #oligarchs #judgeDugan #Musk #tesla #Elon #Hegseth #trump #JDVance

Budget reconciliation is how unpopular and cruel cuts will get shoved down our throats, unless 4 Republican Senators and ALL Democrats oppose it. Call your elected representatives NOW, Republicans AND Democrats tell them to vote no on reconciliation! (202) 224-3121

“Strategic uncertainty” means “None of us, including Trump, knows what the hell he’ll do next.” That’s not a plan. That’s letting a crazy person burn the economy to the ground. -Jay Kuo #JayKuo #economy #tariffs #Bessent #Bulwark #China

Military service members don’t deserve to be told they can’t serve in certain roles because they are “Black or gay or a woman” by “a washed-up Fox TV commentator.” - Gov Pritzker 🔥🔥

Wily Economy Coyote

When power bullies the courts, mocks the universities, and threatens the law itself — tyranny knocks louder. Submission is not neutrality. Silence is not wisdom. Appeasement is not peace. Those who bend to the bully only pave the road to their own oppression. #WakeUpAmerica

Thank you to everyone around the world who helped bring Tesla's net income down 71%! Now THAT is a successful boycott. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Pope Francis was by far the best most consequential pope in my lifetime, at least since John XXIII whom I barely remember. Francis was knowledgeable about science, cared about the planet, and was concerned more about people than dogma. We will miss his clear urgent gentle and compassionate voice.

I've been away from working in journalism for half a decade now, but it seems to me that it's a pretty big red flag that every time a story breaks, and somebody asks POTUS about it, he has no idea what is going on. There's probably a story there, but golly, who could possibly tell it? A reporter?

It seems like the Supreme Court could say it’s Saturday and Thomas and Alito would dissent.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.
