I’ve posted about this outrage before - now it’s go-time. You know what to do!

I went on @CNNSOTU this morning to explain my theory of the fight for our democracy.
When Trump floods the zone, Democrats flood the zone. We don't quietly reserve power to be used at a future right moment. We fight the billionaire takeover of our government every day.

Trump and Vance threw Zelenskyy under the bus because people are angry about Musk’s crazy cutting spree, and Trump kissing Putin’s ass. Tossed the base some red meat (I’m looking at you, Lindsey Graham). Old pro wrestling trick. Fire up the crowd.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.
Afghan women's campaign for freedom and international support for Afghan women in the light of the removal of their basic human rights under the Taliban #WomensArt

1,258 days since teenage girls have been banned from school.
799 days since women have been barred from university.
An entire generation of dreams silenced in Afghanistan. Education is not a privilege. It is a basic human right.
Amazing Women We Should All Know ! 👏 to @WomenAtWar2

Appalling. The promise that they will return to Romania in March is simply not believable. The Trump govt's complete lack of respect for women is writ large in this action ...
BREAKING: The Tate brothers have left Romania, according to reports.
It comes after the Donald Trump's administration reportedly made multiple attempts to pressurise Romania to lift travel restrictions on Andrew and Tristan Tate.

24% of Americans get their health insurance from Medicaid.
Seniors. Working families. Millions of kids.
Republicans voted tonight to burn Medicaid to the ground.
And for what? To fund a giant tax cut for their billionaire friends.
A moral abomination.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.
The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Holy shit. This is scary.
Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote.
$2 TRILLION IN CUTS.
The worst part 👇
Guess how much they plan on giving the super rich as a tax cut?
$2 TRILLION.
People are going to die including kids.
Tomorrow's House vote on the Republican budget proposal will determine the fate of Medicaid for up to 72 MILLION people!
Don't let them take away our healthcare for a tax cut for their greedy donors!
Please use this hashtag far and wide so we make it trending:

Holy shit. Not only did Republicans in the Senate BLOCK a Bill protecting Medicaid, they also torpedoed Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect CHILDREN’S and MATERNAL health care through Medicaid.
This is pure EVIL.
Republicans are not here to help any person in America. They have blocked every single bill that would help Americans, they have approved every single bill to help corporations and 1%.
Why isn’t this a BIGGER story??

You lay off 1,000 Americans who care for veterans at VA clinics around the country and you think it “will not negatively impact VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries”?
This is shameful slap in the face to veterans and to those who actually care about them.
.@DeptVetAffairs has accomplished so much in the first month under @POTUS, and we’re just getting started!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Congratulations to Mikaela Shiffrin on earning 100 World Cup victories!

Despite receiving thousands upon thousands of messages from constituents urging them to reject Kash Patel’s nomination as FBI director, senators beholden to Trump just confirmed Patel, with bipartisan opposition.
But now is not the time to be defeated. We’re going to need all hands on deck to protect the incredible progress we’ve made on gun safety over the past decade. Text READY to 644-33 to join us.
