My colleagues across the aisle just called our fight to protect Social Security “garbage.” I’m sorry—WHAT!?!?
Our seniors, veterans, children, and people with disabilities are not “garbage.” And, neither is our fight to protect the programs we depend on.
We don’t work for billionaires. We work for the people. And, we will continue to fight like hell for them.
We need the best educated workforce in the world.
We need the best teachers in the world.
We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.
No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.
This hits hard—we suspected (basically knew…) Republican Senators voted to confirm unqualified Trump nominees out of fear of retaliation.
Seeing it be confirmed hits different.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
- President Theodore Roosevelt

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.
🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.
Call your rep—this is not a drill. https://t.co/P7CcCnFTk1
The SAVE ACT will keep Married Women from Voting if we don’t stop it from passing which it most likely will. Republicans denied a Democratic bill that would let women that are married vote with proper identification,but it was shot down. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
BREAKING: French President Macron urged companies to pause investments in the US:
“What would the message be of having big European players invest billions in the American economy at the same time they are hitting us. We must have collective solidarity.”
