For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. The #NoKings movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings.

On the eve of #NoKings

The effect of Trump’s policies on health insurance have been revealed

A 60 year couple in Kentucky making $85,000 might pay $23,700 more

In Nevada-$18,100 more

In Minnesota-$15,500

In Maryland-$13,700

It’s absolutely unsustainable

THIS is why there is a Trump shutdown

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Federal workers are tired of the pain inflicted on them from the DOGE/Project 2025 agenda. Now the Trump shutdown is jeopardizing the essential services they keep running every single day.

Federal workers aren’t pawns in political games—they make our country strong.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

this clip perfectly illustrates how Republicans *successfully* flood the zone with conspiracy theories

1. Ron Johnson is asked about Epstein
2. He immediately changes the topic to Obama
3. The host chases the shiny object and asks about Obama. Johnson never has to weigh in on the Epstein coverup.

This Supreme Court can see Trump’s reckless flouting of the law…and still they’re determined to increase his power. They are a real danger to our democratic society.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵
