Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on.

Don't believe their lies for a second.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless.

This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Go, Cory, go! Nearly 18 hours in and @booker.senate.gov is holding the Senate Floor to highlight the harms this Administration and Elon Musk are having on the American people.

You are an American Hero, Senator! And we are right here with you! 💪

WATCH: Cory Booker holds the floor of the Senate for 15+ hours in protest of Republicans' harmful policies: "I know of only one way to do this—and I'm trying to do this myself—is to do things differently. To stand up, to speak up, to act like this is not normal in our country."

Strength to Senator Booker!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Y’all love talking about the 2nd Amendment, but let me remind you: even that has limits. Today, the Supreme Court upheld common sense regulations on ghost guns—and that’s a win for public safety.

The decision means that the federal government can regulate the easily obtainable gun parts in the same way as firearms purchased from specialist stores.

This is why idiots, who have not earned their way into the most powerful positions in our government, should not have access to classified information, much less the ability to distribute it.

We have moved from governing by tweet to war by text. Absolutely unfathomable.
