[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I joined @SenBlumenthal and Connecticut’s Commissioner of Social Services today in Hartford to talk about cruelty of Trump’s decision to kill the program that keeps the heat on for very low income families with kids.

Donald Trump gets a free luxury plane while kids freeze.

Every month, folks routinely spend $10, $20 or more on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc.

By making a single annual donation of $10, $20, or more to our spring fundraiser (link below), you support our project’s research and outreach for an entire year in a big way and enable us to share great content with everyone for free.

With hundreds of thousands of followers, it only takes a small proportion of folks making a small annual donation to keep the project going really strong.

Plus, our content is way better than any streaming service...just check out our comments section; there is always some great drama percolating in there!

So help us out and donate today here:

And huge thanks to the almost 100 donors who donated $5K in the past handful of hours! A great start to the fundraiser.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

A new model reveals the real winners and losers in the GOP tax plan. The wealthiest could see a windfall of $389,000/year while those at the bottom pay $1,000 more!

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

This week, a federal appeals court ruled that DOGE must resume efforts to hand over internal documents about their operations to CREW.

This is a win for transparency and one step closer towards greater accountability.

If you wanted a sense of how backwards things are in Washington – today Republicans in the House defeated their own budget bill.

Their reason was not that it would gut Medicaid for millions, or decimate food assistance.

Their reason was that the cuts weren't deep enough.

[Sheldrick Wildlife Trust @SheldrickTrust]

Interspecies relationships are not new to us, but we'd be fascinated to understand what communication was taking place between these two. Taroha decided to stop by Maxwell's stockade before heading into the forest, with both parties enjoying the encounter; despite Taroha bringing his foot into the meeting, and Maxwell sucking on Taroha's head!

Maxwell is our sole long-term resident, due to permanent blindness. All the elephants know him and, while some steer clear, others like Taroha and Mzinga will swing by to greet him. Between them, the Keepers, and a lot of wild warthog friends, Max is never short of visitors.

Read his story, and consider supporting his ongoing care through an adoption this #FosterFriday at: https://t.co/8EmtCiMnSJ

People in Ukraine and across the world have paid the price for Putin’s aggression, now he must pay the price for avoiding peace.

I will not accept Russia kicking a ceasefire down the road.

@ZelenskyyUa, Britain stands with Ukraine, always.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

This is shameful.

The Trump admin just effectively legalized machine guns, which can be used to kill and injure hundreds of people in minutes. 46,000 Americans die from gun violence every year. Rather than working to end this epidemic, he’s making us less safe.

OMFG — y'all need to watch this.

This is what the @GOP @HouseGOP so called "big beautiful tax bill" does for the working class.

By 2031, those making LESS than $15,000 a year will see a tax INCREASE of 74.3%.

You MAGA morons fucked yourselves and the entire country.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨EXCLUSIVE: As 26 activists were arrested for disrupting a House Committee over Medicaid cuts, I spoke to disabled activist Dominique Howell: “Without Medicaid, we will be dead or in institutions.”

This is life or death. Get Dominique’s message EVERYWHERE.

The nonpartisan CBO says the GOP plan would likely “reduce the number of people with health insurance by at least 8.6 million” nationwide.

RT if you refuse to let them destroy Medicaid and peoples lives in silence.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

But let’s be clear, the Republicans that voted “No” on the bill didn’t do so because they want to stand with the American people.

They did it because they want to see even MORE cuts made.

So, don’t get confused, they didn’t do this to stand with you.

Democrats will continue holding the line and pushing back to protect healthcare, SNAP, and the services that millions of Americans need to survive.

(2/2)

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

The House Budget Committee just said NO to Trump's budget bill—a reckless “plan” that would gut Medicaid, slash SNAP, and hurt millions of Americans.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

In a scathing 4-page court filing overnight, a group of FBI employees who investigated the Jan. 6 attack have asked a judge to order the Justice Department to destroy its controversial list of 5,000+ FBI employees who were part of the US Capitol Insurrection investigation (more)

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Hidden deep in the Republican tax bill is a $1.4B gift to the NRA: a repeal of the 90-year-old tax on gun silencers. Just 12 lines in a 400-page bill. A huge win for gun lobbyists and a dangerous loss for public safety. They buried it for a reason. https://t.co/5IlYoqzsn3

Don't worry about ermine webs! At this time of year we often receive reports of ghostly silken webbing covering sections of hedgerows and trees. 🕸️

The culprit? A harmless caterpillar. Read more about them here 👉 https://t.co/yVBMR13aeu

@WonderKing82 Maybe Jake can look into this

[Les Summers🟧#🟦 @LesSummers5]

@WonderKing82 Clooney said something about Biden not recognizing him at a fundraiser. Truth was - Biden & Obama were both introduced to Clooney & Julia Roberts which a guy that was there said it was protocol- always happens - a formal introduction.

Y’all lately I feel like I’m in some damn bizzaro land… this stuff is just crazy! And tonight… just unbelievable!
