We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

JUST IN: We asked a federal court to stop DOGE’s ongoing unlawful access to SSA data after new facts expose the breadth & urgency of harm to millions.
DOGE is putting Americans at risk – not only of privacy violations but of losing access to the benefits they depend on. We will keep up the fight!

Dear Elon,
Clearly, the people of Wisconsin think you are full of shit.
But thanks for depositing $20 million in our economy and losing.
Did I mention you lost? And people really really don’t like you? I mean really.

Scenes from the HHS bloodbath 🧵
Some layoff notices went out by email last night or early this a.m. But some people showed up today at FDA and only found out they were fired when their badges didn't work -- or when they were pulled out of line to enter by security, Gestapo-style.

I'm seeing ppl say Booker's filibuster won't "do anything" & "doesn't require courage".
& fr, idk what people want. He's using the only tool Dems have: gumming up the works. To get useful attn he'll have to speak, standing, for HOURS. idk many ppl w the courage to commit to that kind of thing do u?

Trump and Elon are ALREADY cutting Social Security.
When they fire thousands of staff, jam up the phone lines, and shutter offices...
When they make it nearly impossible for you to talk to a real person to get the benefits you're owed—THAT'S A BENEFIT CUT.

Senator Booker — what a fighter. I thank @booker.senate.gov for his extraordinary, record-breaking effort to speak on behalf of and give voice to so many Americans who are alarmed and anxious about the dismantling of cherished and bedrock contracts between the people and their federal government.

Thank you Corey Booker!! Grateful to all the Senators helping him out.
Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor.
With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President.
Go Cory!

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Republicans are coming for Medicare.
They're making it crystal clear: “Reform” = cut
This has been their playbook all along to spread misinformation while betraying working people.
