[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

They were not deported. They were brought to shelter in the US. With no help from you.

Why lie to and traffic Venezuelan refugees? For votes? This is nuestra familia Latina. You should be standing up for them.

If it’s one thing we can count on you for, it’s being una vergüenza.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America.

Matt Gaetz crystallizes right wing policy platform 100 days from the midterm elections: “Only hot women will have rights.”

Fascism is alive and well in Florida.

[Katie Downey @CatherineDowne]

We need campaign finance reform! Nothing will get done until we tackle this.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

94% of public school teachers have to spend their own money on school supplies.

Meanwhile, we give police $115,000,000,000 per year to stop women fighting for health care.

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.

Right now, and I mean this instant, delete every digital trace of any menstrual tracking. Please.

[Lori Trahan @RepLoriTrahan]

Price for a barrel of oil today: $117.59
Price for a barrel of oil in 2014: $120.45

So why are gas prices 2 dollars higher per gallon today than they were in 2014?

Because Big Oil corporations are hiking prices to rake in record-setting profits.

Current/ former hill staffers who just can’t bring themselves to consume mainstream media right now:

It’s all good. Turn it off and give yourself a much needed break. This is a lot.

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. https://t.co/sUoDT3GQ6o

If more guns was the solution to violence we’d be the safest country on the planet.

[deanna mcdonald @deannagmcdonald]

if you take money from the nra, your stance on guns is political. you do not get to say "don't politicize this." any event or conversation about guns will always be political when it comes to you, you designed it that way.

[Brent Welder @BrentWelder]

Democrats control the White House, the Senate, and the House. They can pass anything they please. Including gun legislation.

[Katie Downey @CatherineDowne]

@JoeBiden WE aren’t willing to live with this carnage. WE have stood up to the gun lobby. Where are your Dems in Congress? Don’t put this on the people. We voted blue, now do your part.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
