Johnson has made the do-nothing Congress from Moscow Mitch's reign look like busy bees compared to this body of cult members, greedy loyalists, and liars.

Senator Dick Durbin @durbin.senate.gov · 16h

Speaker Johnson thinks being AWOL is the right thing for his Republican members.

But it is not right thing for the millions of Americans who will see their health insurance premiums increase next year.

“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

The Trump administration’s push for more deportations is upending immigration courts. Recently terminated judges fear the changes imperil due process.

Appalling news for #Idaho, and the entire country. Qatar is an authoritarian monarchy that the trump regime calls an ally.
But Mike Simpson, a trumper, is thrilled about selling out Idaho.
Replace him in 2026. #VoteBlue

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 7d

In one of her final interviews before she died, Jane Goodall emphasized that we know what’s killing the planet: industrial agriculture, including livestock, and burning fossil fuels.

She also reminded us that we don't have much time to save our planet.

Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message

"Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Dems are clear: reverse the cuts, lower the costs, and save healthcare.
The cost of trump’s billionaire-first tax law is > 10 x higher than cost of extending the enhanced ACA premium tax credits.

#Idaho Republicans care more about protecting billionaire donors than protecting Idaho families.

trump regime cult members - including Jack Ciattarelli - are using illegal bully tactics. This is an abhorrent abuse of power & an invasion of privacy. The right to privacy is the right to be free from unwarranted governmental and public interference.

Abigail Spanberger @abigailspanberger.com · 15d

My friend @mikiesherrill.bsky.social proudly served our country. Her military service should be honored — not questioned and certainly not weaponized.

The Trump Administration's breach of privacy is a slap in the face to our nation's brave servicemembers. It's shameful.

Mikie Sherrill @mikiesherrill.bsky.social · 15d

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government.

That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served.

No veteran's record is safe.

#Utah Republicans had their gerrymander blocked by a court. Now, they’ve unveiled a plan to give themselves a healthy majority in every congressional district for the foreseeable future. So, of course, the GOP’s new bill seeks to rig the map-drawing process by using statewide election results
