We are building a database of Republican criminals sortable by severity and number of crimes and sentences given.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is jeered at his North Carolina town hall as he struggles to read purported examples of weird funding items that DOGE has cut

The French!!

If you need a reason, cite this: the bill will zero out $23B in Healthcare for veterans exposed to toxic burnpits, heroes with cancer, respiratory diseases, and other ailments. ❌️NO on cloture ❌️NO ON THIS FILTHY CR!

SecDef Hegseth demands ❝lethality, lethality, lethality,❞ yet the Pentagon keeps funding golf courses worldwide. Despite decades of criticism, the DoD still maintains about 145 courses, some losing millions while troops struggle with underfunded care. ⤵

How can we make a deal with Republicans if we cannot trust that the funds will be spent as directed? Congress has the power of the purse, not Donald Trump and not Russell Vought. Americans are counting on Senate Democrats to stand up for them and our Constitution and force a clean CR.

A HUGE win for all Americans. The Oversight Committee Democrats and I fought hard against these illegal firings and we won't back down.

🚨 Holy crap. Marco Rubio is seemingly purporting to exempt nearly all immigration regulations and policy, along with things like export controls, trade rules, and more, from notice and comment rulemaking requirements. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-04116.pdf

I just looked up French senator Claude Malhuret online and saw that he represents Allier, a department in central France. Its second largest city is … Vichy. Times have changed.

You're right Pete as I've often said a tariff is a tax by another name and is paid by consumers. Placing tariffs against your allies is economic suicide.

The cuts underway at the Social Security Administration could wind up breaking critical parts of a system that millions of the nation's most vulnerable citizens rely on — including nearly 90% of Americans over age 65.

🔴 Populist Simplicity In A Hyper-Complex World: Will Trump Overplay His Hand? In an in-depth essay, @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social talks to political scientist Brian Klaas on why Trump's 'alternative realities' don't stack up against real-world complexities A free preview from the new print edition ⬇️

www.wsj.com/world/russia... Well @realDonaldTrump what are you going to do to Putin now? Because you’re #PutinsPuppet are you going to let him make the rules? He’s a liar and never keeps his word.

This is absolutely insane. People must pay for this.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

This is also why folks need to stay LOUD—make your opinions known. It’s making a difference.

BREAKING: Judge Alsup has ordered the reinstatement of ALL probationary employees at Veterans Affairs, DoD, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, and Energy, AND he is demanding under oath testimony from Ezell. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Ok, for those of you who asked me for a template of the "MISSING REPRESENTATIVE" flyer, here you go: www.canva.com/design/DAGhQ... Feel free to share far and wide.

Today at a Foreign Affairs Committee briefing on USAID I asked Trump's head of USAID Pete Marocco, as the overseer of democracy and free elections programming globally, whether he was at the Capitol on January 6th. He refused to say no.

Today is Protect Public Media Day - as a strong supporter of PBS, I met with GBH CEO Susan Goldberg and New England Media CEO Matt Abramovitz last week in DC to discuss the critical role that public broadcasting stations and the CPB play in providing educational content to families across the US.

Today’s vote wasn’t about keeping government open. It was about Congressional Republicans handing over their power - the power of the purse - to the President. 

There is no separation of powers so long as Congressional Republicans continue to show unfettered fealty to Trump.

I voted NO.

Conner lamb would have been much better than Lurch Fetterman who is such a disappointment to his supporters.

In it together

"In his own twisted way, Donald Trump has become a unifying figure. He’s more politically divisive than ever, but his outright attacks on liberal democracy everywhere have managed to rally America’s traditional allies against a common threat — one he sees when he looks in the mirror."

On April 1st, you can send at least @joshweil.bsky.social to D.C. &, hopefully tie the votes in the House. Don't ask for your voice to be heard, demand it. Expect it. Vote for it. And even if you’re not in FL, support it! JoshWeil.us/get-involved/

Americans just need to pack ALL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES AND THE CAPITOL PHONES ALL SOCIAL MEDIA DEMOCRATIC SENATORS BEED TO SHUT IT ALL DOWN

🚨 URGENT REPOST Elon Musk, and his vile puppets, Donald Trump and JD Vance, have made it clear that they are preparing to take away monthly Social Security checks every month from almost 67 million Americans. This is our money -- next they will be robbing our homes! Americans need this to live!

“The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration… targeted harassment…” newrepublic.com/post/192660/...

For any non-lawyers who follow me: it is impossible to overstate how far beyond the pale this is. This is the legal equivalent of asking for a cease fire, and then immediately after your opponent agrees, fire bombing an orphanage.

This is where we are at.

CNBC senior economics reporter Steve Liesman on Trump's tariffs: “I’m going to say this at risk of my job but what President Trump is doing is insane. It is absolutely insane." I second the motion on the floor! #ProudBlue #TrumpTariffs #Trumpflation #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Welcome Blue sane Americans🇺🇸 ~ come to visit us here. 🇨🇦

Joe Biden left the country with low unemployment, lower inflation, and a calm country. Trump has unleashed chaos in the markets and is wrecking the capacity of our federal government. Who is he working for? Not most Americans.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that if it isn't "illegal" for MAGA to boycott Bud Light, Target, Starbucks and more because of the 1st Amendment, it sure as hell ain't illegal for us to boycott Elon's shitty Tesla. FUCK ELON. BOYCOTT TESLA!

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building

Can’t stop thinking about all the people who’ve lost their jobs. Losing your job in this country, it’s like annihilation—not least because it usually means losing health care, too. And for so many people, their entire sector has been eviscerated. I wouldn’t be able to feed my kids. It’s terrifying.

Good question!
