Today we mourn the loss of Tim Curry. I was a RHPs fanatic and I got to meet him backstage after a performance of Amadeaus , he will be missed 😢

The SAVE Act isn't election security, it's voter suppression. The in-person voter registration requirement and impossible red tape will block millions of women from voting. Republicans are trying to jam it into the NDAA. We're a no.

Chemical spraying in an apple nursery in upstate NY. Workers tell us "the spraying feels like we're inside a box with no circulation. We feel like we're slowly suffocating. But if we have the windows open, we would be breathing in the chemicals." #WeFeedYou

HUGE WIN: In a major rebuke to Trump, Senate Democrats have successfully passed a House-backed War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s Iran War. 47 Republicans voted against it.

Every day, billionaires try to reach their hands into our pockets to steal our earned benefits. The fight to protect Social Security for all Americans is being fought RIGHT NOW—it's time to raise our voices and say HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY!

The Senate just joined the House in voting to end Trump’s illegal and costly war with Iran. The president CANNOT continue to skirt Congress’s authority. This war should never have happened. This is a win for the American people.

Summer means fewer blood donations but the need doesn’t slow down. The Connecticut Blood Center says donations drop during vacation season. Type O blood is especially needed right now! If you can, consider donating at a local blood drive.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

“Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who is coordinating with populist House members, told Semafor that Democrats’ platform can’t ‘just be about an economic message’ because voters who see both parties as compromised think Democrats are ‘never going to get it done.’”

NEW: This past Saturday, Democrat Quentin Wiltz was elected mayor of Pearland, Texas, FLIPPING a Republican-leaning suburb BLUE. This is huge. Congrats, Mayor-elect Wiltz!

Happy May Day! Too often, decisions that shape our paychecks, our schools and the cost of everyday life are driven by those at the top, instead of the people doing the work. Join thousands of workers today to make sure that our voices are heard where decisions are made.

I was a home health aide out of HS and was exploited. Wage theft was common back then and it still is today.

Workers are urging lawmakers to fund home care legislation: “So right now, the Michigan state legislature has a choice to make. They can do their duty to fund the legislation they passed, or they can leave it unfinished, unfunded, and ineffective.” https://seiu.co/4mzRgQ0

I'm proud of my Senator 💙 #Barcelona #Democracy

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

The biggest leeches “sucking off” the US government are the billionaire class

Ken Martin@kenmartin.bsky.social

Howard Lutnick thinks Trump’s billionaire giveaways are okay, but basic lifelines for hardworking Americans aren’t. Got it.

More than 21 million eligible Americans are unable to access the documents that would be required to register to vote under the #SAVEAct. This bill isn’t about election “security” — it’s about restricting the right to vote for certain eligible Americans.

Food for thought on #TaxDay

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

Today is Tax Day. This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires. For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor. Here’s how:

If you work, you owe your thanks to former labor Secretary Frances Perkins – the architect behind the 40-hour workweek, the minimum wage, unemployment insurance, and Social Security. On her birthday today and every day, America’s unions celebrate her legacy and leadership.

I think the key point is the "bad" - tariff passthrough is ongoing (as the Fed noted in their minutes) and inflation is understated because of the shutdown. Also, all this is directly linked to federal policy (not external unlike the previous inflation spell).

The American people want health care, not warfare. The Trump administration has spent billions on a reckless war with Iran but REFUSES to increase funding for health care. It’s heartless and House Democrats will not stand for it.

HUGE NEWS: Democrat Emily Gregory just flipped the Florida state House district that includes Mar-a-Lago. She defeated a Trump-endorsed Republican in Trump’s home district.

On this day in 1911, 146 workers were killed by a fire and unsafe working conditions at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York. As we remember the workers we lost, we recommit ourselves to safe workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Trump and Republicans are FAILING our TSA agents and American travelers. TSA agents are working without pay because Trump refuses to work with Democrats to fund the TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard. They’d rather play political games than fund the Department of Homeland Security.

In addition to making DC a more dangerous place to walk, bike, or drive, House Republicans who have never balanced a budget would again disrupt DC’s balanced budgets

Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social

Today the House Oversight Committee will be considering HR 5525 to outlaw automated traffic enforcement and no right on red in DC, since there are no other problems in the country. As always, when DC‘s local governance is under attack, Free DC is here. Follow along live with us in this 🧵

Congressman Greg Casar@repcasar.bsky.social

Here’s something you might not know if you’re not super rich. Today is the day that people who make $1 million a year stop paying into Social Security. Working people pay all year, but the rich get a break. Lift the cap and pull millions of seniors out of poverty.

The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to make it illegal for corporate investors that own 100 or more single-family homes to buy houses in the state's largest counties. Nashville Democrat's Charlane Oliver’s “Homes not Hedge Funds Act” passed with only one no vote.

Mainstream Russian commentators complain that the Kremlin's axis of colonies, alliances and partnerships in terror is now "crumbling before our eyes" and that "maybe we are next".

A briefing would be nice, but that’s not the most important thing in front of us. I don’t need a briefing where Marco Rubio will gaslight us for an hour to know how I’ll vote on a War Powers Resolution.
