It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.
In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.
Make sure everyone knows it.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my resolution that simply condemns pardons for dangerous criminals convicted of attacking Capitol Police officers.
It's outrageous that we can’t all agree to stand with the people who kept us safe, over violent insurrectionists.

After hundreds of people were hospitalized and at least 83 dead from a measles outbreak in Samoa, RFK Jr. doubled down on spreading dangerous disinformation & STILL promotes conspiracies about the lives lost.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near our nation’s public health system.
