Thomas Paine said "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression," Will we learn? #independenceday2025.

THIS! Budgets ARE moral documents! No matter your party or who you voted for in 2024, ask yourselves WHAT we want for our people- to be able to see a doctor when sick, for our children to have nurses & social workers in schools, for hard working families to eat 3 meals!.

This! From the POTUS who helped to get 20 million more Americans health insurance. And people struggling the most, would lose the fed’l help while the rich gets money back in their stuffed pockets!.
More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act. If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt.

#Trump spent yrs claiming Barack Obama was not a US Citizen. He deported US citizen children in New Orleans, one of whom has cancer. He has kidnapped students off streets & in fed’l bldgs because of their opinions. He is a clear & present danger to all we hold dear.
Trump falsely suggests @ZohranKMamdani is in the country "illegally" calls him a communist (he's a Dem socialist) and then then goes on to call @ericadamsfornyc a "very good person" who he "helped out a little bit."

Any US Senator that votes to cut #Medicaid, #SNAP (food stamps) & more is going to tell people with disabilities they don’t matter. Children, elderly, our Vets…people who live in every zip code in this country. Tell your Senator TODAY to vote NO on the cruel & corrupt cuts.
1 in 4 adults in the U.S. has a disability. Programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and Head Start make their lives possible. Tell your senators to protect these programs from "big, beautiful" cuts in order to pay for tax breaks for the rich. Text RESIST to 24284 to take action now!

It feels like a good day to remind the country that FDR raised taxes on the rich significantly & in doing so got us Medicare, Social Security, a jobs program and built an American middle class. #BigUglyBill

What do we value most? Is it our children and our future? The Big Ugly Bill you keep hoping not to hear about will throw 17M people off of health insurance, drive the up the Nat’l debt & all will hurt our schools too. Medicaid pays for school nurses, mental health support & more.
If there's money for a border wall and ICE, then there's money for Medicaid and school lunches.

If someone came and told you that you would no longer be able to see a doctor when you were sick unless you could pull the money out of your pocket, or the one hospital within an hour or two away from you might close, what would you say to your Senators?
Incredible stuff from @HawleyMO here. If he doesn’t like this bill that does exactly what he claims to be against, he should call his senator and ask him to vote no.

2 things: 1 Yes there are still avenues of attack & class action suits are now filed on #birthright citizenship; 2. Stopping an unconstitutional attack on a clear and plain Constitutional right to citizenship shouldn’t require a loophole!

This is must be loudly rebuked as hateful and as an unconstitutional attack on a US Citizen based on beliefs that rents are too high, child care too costly and that antisemitism is real. It’s a dangerous distraction from what can be taken from any of us.
Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.

Bill Moyers was revered in my house - a progressive Texan like my Mom. And he shared so much wisdom but this one struck home: “Charity provides crumbs from the table; justice offers a place at the table.” #RestInJuatice.
BREAKING: Bill Moyers, the former White House press secretary turned prize-winning TV journalist, has died at 91.

“Conservatives…should worry about judgeships being handed out as favors to loyalists," Conservative Greg Nunziata. #EmilBove should not be rewarded for abusing power with a lifetime job judging others.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, grilled by Sen. Schiff, Trump nominee Emil Bove says he doesn't recall telling lawyers "tell the courts f*ck you." Schiff says "seems that would be something you'd remember. Unless that's the thing you say frequently.".

Thank you @RepGraceMeng for fighting for the hate crimes prevention programs that we desperately need and that this administration in Washington has cruelly slashed!

New Yorkers are speaking out for new leadership that is bold, cares about the cost of living and understands that bridge building is better than bullying. The hard work continues to unite and to make this city a place everyone can afford.
