Democrats also need to hear from us right now. Demand that they use every tactic and tool possible to block, obstruct, and turn public opinion against this dangerous bill.

This week, the GOP is expected to try to shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol (while giving Trump $1 billion for a ballroom). If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you — urge the GOP to reject the MAGA spending bill and focus on funding our communities.

Heading into the May 19 primaries, Dems must win tough races while staying rooted in grassroots values. DemocratsWorkForAmerica.org backs candidates who connect with working-class voters, & defend democracy. Races they’re watching: https://democratsworkforamerica.substack.com

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

I’m sick of our media pretending like it’s normal to have a president snoozing during Oval Office meetings then raging on social media in the dead of night. It is not a storyline you gloss over. It is the story.

🔥REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social to @katiecouric.bsky.social: “They rigged the maps, now they’ll rig them even more because Trump doesn’t want to be impeached…most focus on congress, but ~200 majority-Black STATE seats may be eviscerated…if you’re not actively fighting you’re part of the problem.”

In the face of constant threats to the disability community from this Administration, I am bringing our voice to the policy-making table and passing legislation that advances equal rights and access. Let's keep fighting together.

Today we marked 50 years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, legislation that had a profound impact on my life as a child with a disability. As a disabled woman, I am carrying the fight for disability justice forward.

Last year, it only took five of us showing up and making public comment at a city council meeting to get the council to restore library funding that the mayor’s office had cut. Just a few people showing up can make a huge difference.

Forgive me, but— Fuck this. Removing the rule that requires notification of people of polling place changes?? The majority is against them. They know it. They don’t want us to vote. So in addition to whatever you do—VOTE

1/ In March 2025, Trump’s EPA set up a process for polluters to request exemptions from their Clean Air Act responsibilities. Our team at UCS published a map providing information on exemption-eligible facilities, host communities, existing pollution, and nearby schools and day cares. (🧵)

Trump's DOJ just ended a major Biden-era antitrust lawsuit against AgriStats — whose price-fixing scheme allegedly raised chicken, pork, and turkey prices — with a slap-on-the-wrist settlement. Amid rising inflation, Trump has given Big Ag the green light to rip you off more.

As a member of the Small Business Committee I have introduced 4 bills to protect, uplift, and resource small business owners and connect them to the resources they need to thrive, and I will continue to fight for our small businesses in Congress. This is Town Business!

Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
