We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Good morning.

The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics.

All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Elon Musk and DOGE are getting access to the department that controls nuclear material for bombs. If we were alarmed at his access to systems for Medicare payments, we should be horrified by their access to nuclear payloads. I will be demanding answers. www.reuters.com/world/us/thr...
Three DOGE members raise access concerns at US Energy Department, sources say
Members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency have started working at the U.S. Energy Department where officials are concerned that they could get access to personnel files and information about disbursement of federal grants, two sources said on Friday.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

To me, it's simple.

I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens.

That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point.

No complicity. Fierce opposition.
