Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Excellent tips for keeping ICE out of your phone now featuring alt text

Read the Martin Niemöller poem. We are living it.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

🚨🚨🚨 The furloghed Federal employees DID NOT leave the partisan auto replies on their emails. They were put there by the MAGA Minions that FOTUS installed at the heads of all Federal agencies. This is what Fascism looks like.

Americans are standing on a health care cliff. More than 20 million Americans could see their premiums double. Doctors, nurses, rural Americans, patients, and families are speaking out. This isn’t political theater—and we will keep fighting this crisis.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification.

Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."

Trump orders flags to half mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Gov of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in Minnesota by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

I’m concerned that people won’t appreciate how big a line is being crossed here. Texas is suspending basic Constitutional freedoms for opposition lawmakers. This isn’t dipping your toe in the authoritarian waters, it’s diving head first into the deep end. This is big league authoritarianism.

ICYMI - Trump’s “booming economy” is circling the drain. This is what happens when you elect a con man to run the country like one of his bankrupt casinos. *Post by Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

You know what’s super cool? The fact that Instagram updating their app to show your live location without your permission and that the update dropped while I was solo backpacking. Instagram actually sucks for that. Why was this ever approved

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.
