I wear these things on my feet. I called them shoes. A lot of people don’t know that. But we’re gonna call them shoes.

.@jonstewart on the WH Correspondents' Dinner: It shouldn't ever happen... You can celebrate the First Amendment without asking your opponent in that fight what he thinks. You know what he thinks.

Swalwell and Platner were credibly accused of being rapists and Democrats handed them their walking papers.

Donald Trump IS an adjudicated rapist and Republicans handed him the White House.

Any questions?

[UniteDems2026 @UniteDems2022]

Precisely, 100% accurate.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. We knew Dobbs was just the beginning.

That's why I stockpiled mifepristone and signed America's strongest protections for patients and providers.

We'll never back down from the fight for reproductive freedom.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away a right generations of women relied on.

California refused to go backwards. We enshrined reproductive freedom in our Constitution, expanded access, and protected patients and providers.

In California, your body, your choice remains the law of the land.

This is America. Not what is currently in the White House.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

The so-called 'Save Our Bacon Act' is nothing but a giveaway to Big-Ag that would gut protections against cruel factory farming—overturning laws that ban extreme confinement of pigs, hens, and calves, and make all of our food less healthy. We can't let Congress strip states of their right to demand better for animals, our environment, and public health.

An ego so fragile that the removal had to be hidden behind a curtain.

Nice to wake up to good news: the democratic opposition wins on no new funding for ICE and
Border Patrol.

All credit to Senate Dems who held firm and prevailed.

All honor to the people of Minneapolis who showed the way in resisting and defeating the forces of authoritarianism.

"Hegseth Chief of Staff Ricky Buria chastised the Army secretary for selecting Maj. Gen. Antoinette R. Gant to take command of the Military District of DC... {He said} Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events."

I love this, “I’m ready for all that.” That’s freedom. Being good with your own thoughts, expressing them, and letting the chips fall where they may. Bravo, @springsteen. Thank you for being a lantern in this time 🙏

These are the 49 Republicans who just voted to block TSA funding, causing massive lines at airports nationwide

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.

But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

It’s pretty goddamn simple: Fund TSA, not ICE.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]
