Where the hell do we live?!
Americans in wheelchairs are being ARRESTED at the Capitol—for daring to demand healthcare and fight for Medicaid.
This is what a dying democracy looks like: cruelty for the poor, handcuffs for the disabled. Shame on every damn one of them. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity.
Firing federal workers and cutting public programs is going to end up costing us MORE, not less.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.
This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
