Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Trump says the US is the only country w/mail-in voting, that's false! 34 countries have form of mail-in ballots, including: UK, Canada, Germany, & S Korea. He wants to end mail-in voting because his policies are deeply unpopular & wants to suppress the vote by making it harder to vote. #FactCheck

If the shoe fits…

Where is the voice of the Opposition Party? This GOP bill will ruin people’s lives and plunge our country further into debt only to make corporations and the rich even richer. Why aren’t Dems unified and talking about this? #shadowcabinet

-Trump's 100 day-in approval rating is lowest of any president @ 39%. The 2nd lowest was Trump's 1st term at 42% -Trump has more than doubled inflation expectations, from 2.8% to 6.5% -Consumer sentiment dropped 27% over the 100 days -Annual measles (YTD) outbreaks skyrocketed

How are you feeling 100 days into Trump presidency: -Goldman Sachs predicting 45% chance of recession -S&P 500, which had been steadily climbing, is down 7% also very volatile & has been down as much as 17% @steverattner.bsky.social #factcheck

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is so good at this. He should be the leader of the People’s Cabinet that the DNC is forming. @kenmartin.bsky.social @downtownnastywomen.bsky.social

@kenmartin.bsky.social Why isn’t @govpritzker.illinois.gov part of the DNC People’s Cabinet? This is the kind of messaging we need. This is how we take control of the narrative

Trump’s Easter message to America is about all the Americans he hates and has nothing to do with Easter.

I hit the mean streets of the Upper East Side with @dreamfornyc.bsky.social to see how voters in Cuomo Country really feel about Trump, Musk, harassing women (allegedly), and how many politicians it takes to fail New York's public schools.

This is brave This is good Thank you

That is so depressing

Crazy that four dems voted for the save act... Voter suppression.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling dissent today: “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

This @joshtpm.bsky.social is on the mark. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/schum...

“Many who in fair weather routinely cite the heroism that launched the US republic have held their tongues since the storm clouds arrived. When a government fears the people there is liberty, goes the saying, but when a people fear their government there is tyranny.“ — @edwardluce.bsky.social

Schumer has canceled his book tour over “security concerns.” That means he’s afraid to face the voters after giving a blank check to Musk and hanging house Dems out to dry. He needs to RESIGN as minority leader NOW abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen...

We get the Party we demand. If our leaders aren't up to the task, we have to call it, or their failure is on us too. How many times do we have to learn this painful lesson? RBG, Feinstein, Biden. NOBODY thinks we're going to WIN votes in NC, GA, or ME next year with Schumer at the helm. Get real.

Schumer’s failure to lead in this critical moment was a betrayal of the Democratic Party, its voters, and our democracy. We need a Senate Minority Leader who will actually fight back against Trump, not fold to him. The stakes are too high for failed leadership. Make sure your senators hear from you.

Target Majority NYC joins NY & US indivisibles to call on @schumer.senate.gov to step aside. We can not risk our lives on a business as usual playbook. Sir, this is no 2017. @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @sreeske.bsky.social drive.google.com/file/d/1367h...

Thank you, Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for uniting the Dem caucus to vote NO on the MAGA extremist funding bill. This bill will be disastrous for the American people. Thank you for standing strong! This is the type of leadership we need in this moment.

I’m voting NO on the Republican spending bill

This is the only answer.

Text SIGN PZOBQT to 50409 to tell your Senators to vote NO on appropriations while Trump/Musk thefts continue. This is a blank check for Trump/Musk. Vote NO on Mike Johnson's CR! @jesscraven101.bsky.social #resistbot @schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @downtownnastywomen.bsky.social

I disagree with democratic leadership's position that decorum is more important than actively expressing support for constituents. This approach is not meeting this moment. Instead it seems that the democrats are being rolled by the united lawless GOP. Dems have the power & obligation to oppose.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social Your account has literally NO CONTENT, which is on par with your performance since January.

I thought my defense of Al Green here might be a bit over the top. But now, as I see more reaction to our situation by elected Dems and operatives—a weird combination of hand-wringing and attempts to be reassuring—I dunno…they need more than a touch of Al Green. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-cabi...

Talk about chilling effects, this essay by @donmoyn.bsky.social chilled me to the bone. Read it to understand how far we've already gone down the road to autocracy. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

He's going to crash the economy.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

And in case anyone asks the state of the union of these United States is fucking terrible.

Dems need to form a shadow government @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Democrats hold the line. Do NOT agree to fund DOGE.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

If Dem leaders could ever get their act together to form a shadow cabinet as @timothysnyder.bsky.social recommends, @joshshapiropa.bsky.social should definitely be a part of it. @wileynickel.com

Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.
