Running scared again.

Speaker Johnson knows America is not buying his BS—people want Republicans to end their shutdown, reopen the government & prevent health insurance premiums from doubling.

Instead of trying to work on a deal, he’s canceling another week of work. Pathetic!

Republicans own this shutdown—every job lost, every family hurt, every service gutted is because of their decisions.

This is what courage in the face of authoritarianism looks like. No university should take Trump's bribe & surrender their integrity — bending the knee to a bully only feeds the beast & puts ALL our rights at risk.

Others should follows MIT’s example ASAP.

MIT is one of the nine schools that were asked to agree to adopt conservative priorities and policies in exchange for funding perks.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

Kennedy now claims circumcision causes autism. Was not expecting that on PBS NewsHour today.

Reupping unproven claims about Tylenol, Kennedy claims a link between circumcision and autism

During a meeting with President Donald Trump and the Cabinet, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reiterated the connection, even while noting there was no medical proof to substantiate the claim.

Listen to what this Republican mother had to say to Speaker Johnson this morning.

If he's not willing to listen to us, I hope he'll listen to the American people. Families are hurting, and Republicans have the power to put a stop to it. We're at the table. We're waiting.

Jersey, did you know Trump is targeting our state? Delaying funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, which is a vital part of the project to double rail capacity between New Jersey and New York City.

Stopping these funds, is illegal and completely unacceptable.

Proud to stand with my colleague @repsuhas.bsky.social and Democrats in the Virginia delegation to protect federal workers and fight for a bipartisan deal that funds the govt & cancels the health care cuts.

It’s past time for Republicans to show up and work to end this Trump shutdown.

Such actions fundamentally betray American values. Terrorizing communities to push political beliefs and agendas is, by definition, terrorism. Share if you agree.
