I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.

This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize us.

But when things get tough, there is only one option ahead of us: Nevertheless, we must persist.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Donald Trump's attempt to flood the zone is not a sign of strength – it’s an attempt to project strength, and to convince you that he’s more powerful than he is.

Don’t let him.

Stand up, speak out, and remember that democracy depends on those who refuse to be silenced.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump fired the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and issued a stop-work order for staff. 

These federal workers go after predatory businesses, shady data brokers, and scammers who target you. Since the agency was created in 2011, the people working there have recovered $19.7 billion for Americans who’ve been wronged. The budget for the entire agency is less than a billion dollars a year.

Trump is making it more expensive for you to file your taxes, here’s how:
A team of federal employees built a program to help Americans file their taxes for free. It’s popular and it helps you. Now Trump wants to shut it down.

A billionaire who doesn’t pay his taxes…wants you to pay more money to pay your taxes.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump shut off funding for Head Start programs across the country. Food, healthcare, and schooling for your kids – shut off. “It feels like a rolling blackout,” a Head Start leader said. Study after study show that children who participate in Head Start are more likely to graduate from high school, attend college, receive a professional license or certification, and earn higher wages as adults.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump launched an investigation into PBS and NPR. 

That’s right. The people who bring you Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Antiques Roadshow, and Morning Edition.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump is telling America’s top scientists that their research funding may be cut off if they use words he doesn’t like, including “women,” “gender,” and even “historically.” The U.S. government funded research that led to the creation of the internet, MRI machines, GPS, touchscreens, Lasik eye surgery, commercial space flight, and more. 

He cares more about censoring science and speech than he does about progress.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump is trying to get rid of the employees who help your parents and grandparents with their Social Security checks, who help your friends and family after a flood or a fire, and who take care of injured vets after they come home from a deployment.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Let’s be clear: Trump and Elon are illegally seizing government resources, accessing your private medical and financial data, and firing – without cause – thousands of employees.

They are not looking for waste or fraud, they are circumventing constitutional checks and balances and breaking the law.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.

But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The vision of President Lincoln, Gettysburg, 1863: “This nation shall have a new birth of freedom — government of the people, by the people, for the people."

The vision of Musk & Trump 2025: “a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.”

That cannot happen.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

President Obama: You'd be worried if grandpa was acting the way Trump is right now. And he wants unchecked power. We do not need to see what an older, loonier Donald Trump looks like with no guardrails

[Marked @MarkedChords]

This.

Hey Florida- it’s time to go vote. #KamalaHarris2024

[Marked @MarkedChords]

@windyharper15 Also, have you tried calling John Williams? He may have something.

[Marked @MarkedChords]

@windyharper15 Space Oddity and Come Sail Away. You can thank me later.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

FEMA administrator: Trump’s claims are categorically false. We have been there supporting Governor Cooper and everybody across western North Carolina. We had teams on the ground before the storm made landfall in western North Carolina. Our funding has not been impacted by any of those other needs across the federal government

[Marked @MarkedChords]

Why in the year 2024 am I having to explain disparate impact discrimination in relation to affordable housing to people that work in affordable housing?!?
