Democrat, political junkie, enjoy learning all the back politics in DC. I like to ride my bike, hike with the pups, strength train, garden and sketch. I marched in the 1st Women's March and can't believe we are going through this again. #MIResists
The SAVE plan, which allowed student loan borrowers to pay back their loans based on their income, is dead after the Trump administration refused to defend it in court.
Now, monthly payments will spike by as much as 400%.
Trump is making the affordability crisis worse by the day.
For clarification: I misspoke on this.
2,500 Marines specifically.
About 5,000 total troops in the ARG. The rest are Navy personnel. Assuming everyone knew what I meant, but just want to be accurate.
Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.
Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.
Extremists wonβt stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Womenβs Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
CNN is about to be state-run media to push Trump Regime propaganda
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.
The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.
This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.
Bet this will make you smile!β€οΈ
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β never be the first to stop clapping.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that donβt fit because theyβre scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.
I wish I could say I was surprised

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.
It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.
"Drain the swamp."
Trump says he wonβt sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.
Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
βThe U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.β
I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. π€·ββοΈ

The response when the billion dollar a day war needs Republican votes..."Sure thing"
This is disgusting. Risking lives for their own selfish greed. I despise those people so much...and the feeling is growing.
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating
βThe stateβs proposed βtrigger laws,β β¦are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free Kβ12 public education regardless of immigration status.β

Another forever war in the Middle East.
Kristi Noemβs Mount Rushmore sized corruption.
An abysmal jobs report.

Itβs been a hard week. If youβre feeling angry, youβre not alone. I see it in your comments. Iβm struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.
You are giving me hope.
Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail
This billion dollar a day war not war is making billionaires richer while the little guys face higher gas prices, higher groceries, and health care. Congress step up.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.
A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.
Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt β an historic high.
Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.
βGolden Ageβ for whom?
