We agree with @SenWhitehouse: Social Security is integral to our ability to retire with dignity, and Congress has a duty to make sure everyone can fully enjoy it.

That's why we need to #ScrapTheCap and protect the benefits we've spent a lifetime earning!

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.

His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.

Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

The White House Situation Room is for national security and intelligence monitoring. Vice President Vance and this Administration are using it to plot the Epstein cover-up.

We won’t stop until we get the truth and justice for the survivors.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency.

Here’s a common-sense solution:

My bill would fund Social Security for the next 75 YEARS by making the wealthy pay their fair share — and EXPAND benefits at the same time.

It’s time to act.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

If the Democratic Party was anything close to Zohran, we would be in for generational change in this country.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.

Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.

We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.

Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

How do we know we're in late stage capitalism?

Helicopters carrying *SICK CHILDREN* cannot land at Seattle *CHILDRENS HOSPITAL* because the affluent owners of nearby properties don't like the noise.

*SICK CHILDREN* have to land a mile away and be transported by ambulance to the hospital, as to not inconvenience the RICH folks

The amount of hateful losers on this post blaming "Liberals" for the actions of one of the most conservative neighborhoods in the state is absolutely wild.

So much for that American exceptionalism, but you just keep on voting against your own interests MAGA.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion.

6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster.

Wake up.

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

🚨NEW: Zohran Mamdani has forced negligent landlords to pay over $34 million in repairs for NYC tenants.

More than 6,000 apartments have been improved so far.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”

“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This is former Waco attorney Adam Hoffman and he will was supposed to receive a life sentence in prison without parole for Sexually assaulting his son’s friend for over three years and the boy was only 10 years old,but now through special plea deals he will only serve 30 days.

We’re “not going to prosecute the predators”??? Nice AG we got here.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

He’s literally just stealing from us in broad daylight. This level of corruption is so staggering it’s hard to wrap your head around it.
