Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Little Farmington, just south of y’all.

We showed up in deep red, rural Bourbon, Missouri and about 15 minutes before a severe thunderstorm.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

AFM stands strong with Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen after their targeted attacks by the unhinged felon occupying the White House. Solidarity with the truth. Solidarity against the madness.🗣️

Ends up when old people borrow trillions from young people, with no intention of paying it back, everything gets more expensive. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

Mr. Springsteen @brucespringsteen.net, during his “Hope & Dreams” Tour launch in the UK last night: “The America I know—is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.” His words are painful to hear but filled with undeniable truth. “We’ll survive this moment.”

We joined @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social during their vigil today to talk about how Medicaid keeps disabled kids from being sent away to institutions, letting them stay at home with their families instead Here's @elenahung.bsky.social introducing Little Lobbyists (1.4x)

MAGA doesn't build. It doesn't build infrastructure or science. It doesn't let the private sector build factories, housing, or energy. It doesn't build new culture or civic institutions. All it does is attack things that Trump doesn't like.

BOTH D & R appointed judges are ruling against Trump Take our latest win stopping his EO tilting elections his way As the court held, voters pick their presidents, not vice versa! I explained @msnbc.com

Tune in as AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social joins Dem. Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Cory Booker on the Capitol steps to discuss how the Trump administration and DOGE are attacking workers’ rights and our essential services. www.youtube.com/live/5ceR90l...

Thank you @littlelobbyists.bsky.social for telling your stories on the Capitol steps today! Big leadership vibes! ❤️👏🏼❤️

We are livid and deeply heartbroken by the actions taken by this administration in detaining and deporting a U.S. citizen child who is battling cancer. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, a profound moral failure, and a cruel betrayal of the values America claims to stand for.

"If tariffs drive up the cost of a piece of home medical gear, and if states don’t agree to quickly negotiate, people under Medicaid could be sent fewer supplies in a period, or may face greater co-pays." Our access to care is being attacked from every angle. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not in DC? Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/5ceR90l...

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) are executing a marathon live stream on east steps of Capitol Rep Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, says GOP House budget will gut health and nutritional assistance programs

Hakeem Jeffries, in live stream with Cory Booker and others on Capitol steps right now, quotes Ulysses S. Grant from before the Civil War: "We have a government, laws and a flag – and they must be sustained." "There are but two parties in America right now: patriots and traitors"

Sen. Booker is a good man!! ♥️

🔥🔥YouTube LIVE: U.S. Sen. Cory Booker & U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Capitol steps. Critical conversation to protest cuts to critical safety net programs, like SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare. “[E]xtraordinary action is necessary to counter this extraordinary threat.” www.youtube.com/live/5ceR90l...

Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries started a sit-in protest on Capitol steps 4 hours ago just the two of them streaming at t.co/0AW2Jy3HmK and now looking like this….if you’re in DC go down there to help them out….way better than a "strong letter" from Chuck Schumer that Trump will toss in the trash

. America has had 46 presidents. Zero women. Meanwhile, women are the ones holding this country together every damn day. If that’s not wild to you you’re not paying attention. .

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

This case becomes more obscene each time I learn new facts abt it. More abuse of power by a degenerate administration.

Two pieces of context for the arrest by the FBI of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan: (1) Some googling reveals that Judge Dugan is apparently an upstanding member of her community and a respected member of the legal profession. Statements of support for her are pouring out today. (1/2)

Arresting Judge Dugan is a dangerous attack on our courts and a blatant abuse of power. Trump is weaponizing the federal government and attacking the rule of law. This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Judge Dugan’s arrest is an attack on the judiciary.

I stand with Hannah Dugan.

For @motherjones.com: Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was charged with impeding an ICE arrest today. This is the first time (that we know of) the current Trump administration has prosecuted a local government official for allegedly obstructing the president's brutal immigration crackdown

Milwaukee mayor criticizes FBI's arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan "When something like this happens, [typically] an indictment of a potential defendant is ordered [...] I think what happened here is just show-boating."

Senator Tammy Baldwin’s statement on the Trump administration’s arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan:

The Congressmember who represents Milwaukee issues this statement in answer to the federal arrest of a local judge in Milwaukee this morning:

RETWEET if you stand with Judge Hannah Dugan!

They are playing the judge. There are no winners here. Read this from Liz Cheney. georgiatoday.ge/former-us-co...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
