@atrupar How is taking your injured kid to a doctor in violation of a parenting plan? What on earth?

[S★ @xxyllinn]

We are living through a "Cost of Living Crisis" while corporations are reporting "Record Breaking Profits." These two things are not happening at the same time by accident. One is literally causing the other.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.

Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.

I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.

And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.

And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.

We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.

We fund schools with bake sales.

And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

Fran Lebowitz on the billionaires: “Every time someone suggests [a wealth tax] they say I’m moving. Go! They add nothing to New York. In the 19th century, those robber barons, they employed people. All this money magic employs no one. Goodbye, go. We don’t need you”

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

[Carol Erskine @TheCarolErskine]

It took the state of New Hampshire 2 years to figure out that Harmony was missing and 2 more years to get to a murder trial. 20 months to get arguments before NH Supreme court. It's been 5 months and no decision on the appeal. Just when will NH get justice for Harmony? When? @BlairMillerTV

[Teresa Fitzgerald @5fitzgeralds]

@IanRunkle @FrankVegas3982 As long as courts accept “letters of support” for criminals convicted of violent crimes in a pathetic ploy for leniency, I’m going to be on board with victims & their families saying whatever they like to & about convicted violent felons.

[Rep. Stephen F. Lynch @RepStephenLynch]

President Trump just unlawfully canceled $90 million in Congressionally-approved federal disaster prevention aid for Massachusetts, including $35 million in funding for Moakley Park in South Boston, Tenean Beach in Dorchester as well as hard-hit areas in the Town of Hull and the City of Brockton.

All of these areas have experienced severe weather events so maintaining basic protections and resiliency for parks, homes and businesses will prevent further erosion and costlier recovery efforts in the future.

As a member of the House Litigation Working Group, we will once again bring legal action to successfully restore this funding.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

[Rep. Stephen F. Lynch @RepStephenLynch]

There is something different going on in our country right now. Something sinister. Something dangerous. It has never been an American tradition to punch down at the weakest and most vulnerable in our society. And we have never abandoned our veterans. We honor them. Until now. 

In the first weeks of this administration, Donald Trump fired 2,400 VA employees. These were healthcare attendants and benefit specialists who handle the millions of disability claims that came in from Veterans and their families. Trump even cut personnel from the VA Suicide Crisis Hotline in the middle of an ongoing crisis among our Veterans. 

And let us not forget—Veterans benefits are special. We are talking about benefits that are owed for services rendered. Each of these veterans has honorably and courageously fulfilled their obligation to our country and in many, many cases they bear the scars, visible and invisible, as a result of that service.

Today we have a backlog of 250,000 cases at the VA, which means months of waiting for those Veterans who are waiting for treatment or benefits or both. And now Trump has just announced plans to fire at least 80,000 more employees at the VA. That is shameful, especially considering that 27% of employees at the VA are Veterans themselves. Trump and Musk have stabbed our Veterans in the back.

[Governor Wes Moore @GovWesMoore]

First they said that veterans were “not fit to have a job.”

Now, they’re cutting tens of thousands of jobs that support veterans' health care.

America’s veterans deserve better. The White House should be standing with them, not treating them as if they’re expendable.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever.

USAID was audited three months ago.

Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

By illegally neutering the National Labor Relations Board, Trump has enabled Jeff Bezos, the 2nd wealthiest man alive, to ignore the union victory at Whole Foods in Philadelphia.

Trump has given the green light to corporations to violate labor law with impunity. Unacceptable.

[Teresa Fitzgerald @5fitzgeralds]

@Nomadlostdark @notcapnamerica I didn’t ask for anything & didn’t get anything. He hasn’t paid a nickel of child support in 15+ years for our four children so we are broke, but in those 15+ years our lives improved dramatically, and our home is peaceful & safe.

[Teresa Fitzgerald @5fitzgeralds]

Thanks ❤️
His “it will never happen again” promise was soon broken again, lik all the previous “it will never happen again” promises.
We’re beyond grateful for the 209a from South Boston court, protecting all 5 of us. It’s provided some safety for us to move on & heal in peace.

[Teresa Fitzgerald @5fitzgeralds]

Made the same difficult decision, almost 16 years ago, to invoke spousal privilege in DV case against my now ex-husband. He strangled me until I was unconscious, 8 months pregnant. But, I didn’t want our 6 year old further traumatized by testifying in court to what he witnessed.

[Boston 25 News @boston25]

The criminal case against longtime Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic was dropped by the state on Friday morning after his wife declined to testify at the start of her husband’s domestic violence trial. https://t.co/9QE9MoSECK
