I’m leaving the Capitol at 4am after Republicans rammed through a vote paving a path for $70B to fund ICE for years without any reforms/accountability. They rejected all Dem proposals to lower your healthcare costs, housing, and gas prices. Spread the word. We need to stop this.

Buttigieg: And my word of warning to my own political party is that we would make a terrible mistake if we thought that our job was to just take power somehow and then put everything back the way it was. That’s not what we’re here to do.

We’re not out to go around and just find all the little bits and pieces of everything that they smashed and tape it together and say, “Here you go, I give you the world as it looked in 2023.” That’s not going to work. It’s not what we need.

So much has changed, and the truth is they are destroying things right and left. They’re destroying a lot of good, important things. They’re destroying some useless things too, because they’re destroying everything. So now we get a chance to put things together on different terms.

Democrats introduced bills to end the TSA shutdown on:

March 5
March 11
March 12
March 18
March 19 (x2)
March 21
March 23
March 25

Republicans blocked TSA funding. Every. Single. Time.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Republicans control all 3 branches of government.

Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA.

Each one was blocked by Republicans.

@AnnieAndrewsMD That’s spittin’ distance! Keep at him!

[Laura Temple @EllTee64]

@JoePontillo Agree! I have such beef with this pay and then pay again.

You can’t detain a 5 year old child.

If a masked man grabs a kid off the street and puts him in an unmarked car… that’s kidnapping.

If that child is then sent to another state? That’s trafficking.

Language matters here.

What happened to Liam Ramos should outrage us all.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Thirty years ago, after Waco, the NRA began marketing guns to Americans as a way to protect themselves from armed “jack-booted thugs” in the government. And then Republicans joined in, loosening state and federal guns laws and passing Stand Your Ground, which in some states allows citizens to use deadly force against law enforcement officers.

So where are we on that timeline?

[Laura Temple @EllTee64]

@shannonrwatts And to live in fear because everyone is packing!

@molly0xFFF Oh boo. So sorry. Hope you recover quickly with no residual effects.

@molly0xFFF Holy cow. I thought 57 was a lot. Nice.

Thank you @RepDeliaRamirez

.@repdeliaramirez to Kristi Noem:
“Let’s cut through the noise.

You lie without consequence, you blow off the courts, you ignore Congress, and you act like oversight is optional. So here are your choices: resign, get fired by Trump, or get impeached.

That’s it. Those are the only doors left.”

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

-Bust up monopolies
-Boost unions
-$20/hr fed minimum wage
-Ban Wall Street from buying homes
-Pass M4A
-Universal childcare
-Get rid of Trump’s tariffs
-Enact UBI
-Tax the rich

These are crucial steps to making America affordable again. Every Democrat must fight for this.

[Laura Temple @EllTee64]

@molly0xFFF Not shocked. Thanks Molly!

BREAKING: Elected Democrats just released a video encouraging members of the military to commit treason and DEFY orders from Trump and Hegseth

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

There is plenty of money in America. There is money for a new jet, a new ballroom, a bailout of Argentina, there’s money for a 50 k signing bonus for ICE Agents. There’s money - just none for your health care or your groceries.

@molly0xFFF Not even surprised. Not even a little bit.
