Republicans are protectong pedophiles over democracy. Democrats shouldn’t shut up about that.

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

A president noticing that a magazine posted an unflattering image of him should be very concerning bc doesn’t he have more pressing matters to attend to??

But also I’m super happy this is bothering him like we knew it would 😭

Did Republicans give Biden and the Democrats credit for freeing more than 100 Israeli hostages?

No?

Yeah, thought so.

Israel is playing Trump and MAGA right now. The entire world knows it except Trump and MAGA.

Hey what’s it called when the president decides what information the press is allowed to publish?

Ask China, you say?
No, just ask Donald Trump. This is his policy.

Leader Jeffries heard my healthcare story the night of the State of the Union address .

He is fighting like he has heard a lot more healthcare stories since March 4, 2025.

Keep sharing your healthcare stories with all representatives Republican or Democrat.

I was honored to be a guest Tuesday night of my congressman @repsuhas.bsky.social .

The fact that he heard my voice and gave me the opportunity to share my family's story says so much about him as a representative.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

ICE agents continue to escalate violence in attempt to fulfill Trumps “out of control” narrative.

Here they visibly initiated an assault on a protester in Portland last night.
