Truth !

More than 100 House rating changes have been issued this year, and the vast majority have moved in Democrats' favor. https://t.co/DM7OP5uqQI

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A reminder for Todd Blanche and any U.S. Senator who thinks he’s fit to serve as Attorney General.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent!

Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done.

More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

Speaker Mike Johnson said that Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid need to be “adjusted and fixed,” meaning they will be cutting your benefits in 2027. This is Project 2025. So, we have money for war, ballrooms, reflecting pool, arches, billionaire tax cuts, but not for seniors.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Trump wants to turn the federal budget into one big slush fund to reward his allies and punish everyone else.

A cancer research grant in a state where someone personally offended Trump? Terminated. 

This would be devastating for communities & is downright unacceptable.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Over 1,000 hospitals and other medical providers are now at risk of cuts or closures, thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.

All to pay for tax cuts for the super-rich.

Never forget who they really govern for.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

America is the greatest democracy because we stand up for each other’s rights. That’s why I sued Pete Hegseth—to defend my rights and the rights of servicemembers, veterans, and every American.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is focused on Greenland, instead of ending the war in Ukraine.

Steve Witkoff isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war

Until the Russians give up their goal - to destroy and absorb all of Ukraine - the war will not be over. Only pressure on Moscow can end this war.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

RETWEET if you stand with Ukraine!

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I was at the Capitol on January 6th when they built a gallows outside and chanted "Hang Mike Pence."

We cannot sit by as Trump riles up another crowd and lifts up new calls for violence.

We cannot pretend we don't know how serious President Trump's actions are.

[Colorado Dems 🇺🇸 @coloradodems]

We stand with these veterans and national security leaders urging our troops to uphold the Constitution over unlawful orders.

This is what courage looks like.

Do you support Zelensky?

Yes or No?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.

Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

JUST IN: Even Trump’s favorite outlet has polling showing that Trumpflation is EXPLODING costs for Americans and making a mess of the economy.

[City of Portland, OR @PortlandGov]

Portland’s Sanctuary City status is now part of City Code. Portland City Council unanimously passed an ordinance prohibiting all City employees and resources from assisting any federal agency with immigration enforcement.

The ordinance also requires the creation of policies, trainings, and resources to guide how the City must handle interaction with immigration enforcement agents, and requires Portland Police to report any exceptions to or violations of the prohibition.

Put forth by Councilor Sameer Kanal and co-sponsors Council Vice President Tiffany Koyama Lane, Councilor Angelita Morillo, Councilor Candace Avalos, Councilor Steve Novick and Councilor Loretta Smith—the sanctuary City status codification received the support of many organizations and community leaders, including the ACLU of Oregon, Latino Network, SEIU Oregon, the entire Portland Public Schools Board and every Multnomah County Commissioner. More than 60 community members testified at the City Council meeting in support of the ordinance.

"I'm feeling the solidarity of not only my colleagues on Council, but also the overwhelming support from many institutions that make Portland what it is and hundreds of community members who turned out in support of our democratic systems, civil rights and immigrant communities," said Councilor Kanal.

Less medical debt, no hidden fees for online purchases and fairer terms for buying a car — these new bills will help level the playing field for Oregonians on the basics. https://t.co/1D9rfOQP6V

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Good moment to remember that US foreign policy is being reoriented to help foreign censors and enable authoritarian propagandists around the world
