The USDA lost 24,000 employees since January 2025. That's breathtaking.
On top of reckless and chaotic trade wars and foreign beef imports, the Trump Administration has continuously left our farmers and producers in the lurch—it has to stop.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Interesting how all the right-wing and pro-Israel accounts here remain obsessed about Mamdani and his wife but barely a peep about the Manhattan Institute poll that revealed a majority of young Republicans are Holocaust deniers and love Nick Fuentes, who praises Hitler and is an open anti-semite.
Masked law enforcement officials misused a warrant to launch a militarized raid at a family-oriented event in Wilder, Idaho.
We're suing state and federal law enforcement with @acluidaho.bsky.social on behalf of families who were traumatized by this illegal raid.
Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.
@democracydocket.com I hope the next generation of Democrats have guts. Republicans said they would not see the Supreme Court Justice in an election year, they lied. Republicans said they would not get rid of the filibuster, they lied. It's time to be unapologetically Progressive when that day comes
Tell your Senators: Oppose the SAVE Act. The stakes are too high to sit this one out!
In Simi Valley, California, masked goons have once again detained a U.S. citizen, this time pulling out an assault rifle and ramming vehicle.

What a world
Let’s get this straight: The SAVE Act’s goal is to prevent eligible people from registering and voting.
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam that would rip away our right to vote.
Congress must protect our democracy and vote against this bill.
Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.
South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.
Happening now: The Bay showed UP for Alysa Liu’s celebration rally in Oakland 🤟🥇
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas — spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not
Praying for Michigan’s Jewish community and grateful for the quick work of first responders and law enforcement during today’s attack. While we wait for more information, one thing is clear: antisemitism anywhere must be confronted and stopped.
Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.
Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.
Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
This entire story is insane. The incompetence from start to finish is just nuts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
I was there. It was much worse than is being reported. They arrested 3 people they had no warrants for. Tear gas, pepper spray and flash bags were used on the demonstrators trying to protect the victims.

🚨 S. Burlington, VT, a chaotic confrontation happened late Wednesday.
