"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." -John Lewis #goodtrouble

When I first arrived to Washington DC in 1993, Senator Moynihan told me - “if you love America, America will always love you back.” Today, I’m humbled to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I know that immigrants are bridges…we build the longer tables that connect us

Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s approval ratings are falling right now. Americans are having buyer's remorse. And you know who is feeling it the most? Republicans facing their constituents at town halls.

BREAKING: Germany’s conservative CDU/CSU bloc wins the federal election, with the far-right AfD coming in second but underperforming expectations, according to exit polls. Looks like Elon Musk and J.D. Vance’s support for the AfD didn’t succeed.

The most important outcome of the German election from a wider European perspective is that the pro-Russian AfD will be shut out of government, and pro-Ukrainian Friedrich Merz will become next Chancellor. All Elon Musk and JD Vance's efforts were entirely in vain.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

FEDERAL WORKERS FIRED BY ELON/TRUMP/DOGE: “We’re not deep state actors. We’re not federal bureaucrats. I’m a veteran who wants to help veterans. We join the civil service to help others and serve our country.”

this video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is playing in the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning (per source Department of Housing and Urban Development)

Jessica: In the bill the Republicans are putting forward, there will be $880 billion cut to medicaid.. People are showing up in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin saying what’s going at DOGE is unacceptable

If Elon Musk’s “what did you do this past week” email was such a good idea, then why did all of Trump’s cabinet members tell their employees not to respond?

Our veterans have sacrificed a lot serving our country, they shouldn’t be asked to sacrifice again to serve Trump’s extreme, far-right, #Project2025-inspired agenda to shrink the federal workforce.

Former border patrol agent and national vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees, Mario Campos, warns Republicans’ federal cuts could jeopardize national security, close Social Security offices, and jeopardize veterans benefits.

Gee, I wonder why they would do that?

Today’s American vote at the United Nations today— siding with tyrants and against democracies— is one of the most shocking foreign policy events of my lifetime. To the free world, I apologize.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on this spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

Targeting federal employees as dishonest, treasonous leeches is an interesting political strategy for Republicans when you consider that it’s the largest workforce demographic in the country and 30% are veterans. Good luck in the midterms.

No pennies means increased production of nickels which COST MORE to produce 😖

This week, Republicans in Congress are preparing to pass $880 billion in cuts to programs including Medicaid—just to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. Call your rep NOW and demand they vote NO: go.caringacross.org/a/call-congres… ☎️#ProtectMedicaid

This is how mad everyone should be.

THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
