Donald Trump visited Western NC, looked hurricane victims in the eye, and promised them his full support. This decision is a betrayal of our state.

Just when you think Trump’s economic policies can’t get any weirder (or more damaging to our economy)…it turns out that Trump’s economic advisor on tariffs MADE UP HIS ECONOMIC SOURCES by fabricating an expert using an anagram of his own name.

What!?

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing for moms & working families as Trump and Republican leadership try to take away our healthcare (Medicaid), childcare (Headstart), our vote (#HandsOffHerVote), our vaccines & research, and more just to give more tax breaks to the already ultra-wealthy #MomSky
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:

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Sunday shows are keeping it real—Schumer gave away the game for nothing.

Jen Psaki lays out what he could have done. He played this wrong on every level.

And with a Social Security, Medicare, and a tax cut fight coming, do you really want @schumer.senate.gov leading the fight?!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Gov Ferguson finding cost savings in carpet replacement instead of putting any level of energy into delivering what families demand of him including progressive revenue & services for children and families is very DOGE of him. I think he’s confused in which WA he works for. #waleg

As a Washington voter - I’d like to see progressive revenue and critical investments in our communities like #childcare #healthcare and #publiceducation
We will continue to listen to the people of Washington in order to make the tough choices necessary to address the budget shortfall.

We remain committed to protecting our core values and priorities.

Together we will get through this challenge.

With a dem trifecta in Washington state, it baffles me that they are not using their power to enact progressive revenue rather than cut services for those most vulnerable. this is not what we voted for - not by a long shot. We have the ability to do better, let’s do that. #waleg

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.”

It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide.

It’s perfectly fine as it is.

Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Apropos of, idk, everything, here are screenshots of the current CDC childhood vaccine schedule.
