It seems clear that #MAGA hate us for our freedoms. They hate our free and fair elections and the peaceful transfer of power. They hate our flag & all it stands for.

Hey Mark Zuckerberg, @jack, @SusanWojcicki and @sundarpichai -- Donald Trump just incited a violent attack on American democracy.

Is that FINALLY enough for you to act?!

It's time to ban Donald Trump from your platforms once and for all!

[R @rechtle]

Thank you

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

🚨NEW: Senator Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, takes a bold stand against Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination, calling her “compromised” and a “Russian asset.”

RETWEET if you stand with Duckworth against Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump!

[R @rechtle]

Yes!

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Have you gotten a surprisingly expensive vet bill lately?

That’s because Wall Street and corporations like Mars (yes, the candy company) know you’ll do anything for your pet, so they buy up clinics and squeeze you for every last cent.

Bailey and I are fighting back.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

The President-elect can choose to put forward unqualified and alarming candidates like RFK Jr. for his cabinet.

But it's the Senate's job to vet these candidates and vote for or against their confirmations. Republicans will have to show the American people where they stand.

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women

🚨NEW: GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski has announced she will not vote to confirm a single Trump Administration appointment until they are fully vetted by the FBI.

RETWEET to thank Murkowski for standing up for our democracy!

Democracy is in serious trouble, but it's not dead.

We all have power, and we can use it together to defend our freedoms.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

This is Cecile Richards. The daughter of Texas Governor Ann Richards, she served as as the President of Planned Parenthood for over 12 years. Today, President Biden awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

RETWEET to thank @CecileRichards for her life of service!

BREAKING: The Matt Gaetz report leaks are damning. Two women testified that Gaetz paid them to attend sex parties—where he allegedly had sex with multiple individuals and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

This isn’t just another scandal; this is a sitting congressman facing allegations of criminal behavior. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing, but the House Ethics Committee is still investigating.

For someone under scrutiny for sex trafficking, the stench here is undeniable. The GOP better explain why this guy keeps getting a pass.

[R @rechtle]

THIS.

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Their messaging during the campaign was about helping the middle class, continuing with sound economic policies, affordable healthcare and education, the rights of women, strengthening the border, unity.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they eloquently delivered their vision better beautifully.

This election result is about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and an irresponsible media that caters to those realities.

There is no messaging that can overcome prejudice and ignorance, and those two factors are the only explanation for Trump even being the nominee and getting 75 million votes.

We need to stop pretending there is some perfect Democratic candidate or magic messaging to reach people who have abandoned objective reality and chosen to embrace their fears and phobias, while failing to do the slightest bit of work to know what candidates' policies and plans are.

The Dems didn't fail America, they just exist in a nation where far too many people don't pay attention or care to understand what's actually happening. Maybe they will now.

In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.

Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.

A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.

Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Look, if Rep. Matt Gaetz wants to serve as the highest law enforcement officer in the land, we need to vet him — that’s my job as Senator.

And that includes seeing this House Ethics report on him.

That’s exactly what I called for last night.

"Blue-collar private-sector workers earned more on average in 1972, after adjusting for inflation, than they are earning now in 2024. This means today's blue-collar workers are on average earning less in real dollars than their grandparents earned 52 years ago." @RBReich

Wondering why food prices are still high? Little-to-no competition across the entire food supply chain allows for a price gouging free-for-all.

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab.

Does Trump have a plan to combat this? Of course not.

Keep the receipts.
