HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
A very smart country. 👍
They cut SNAP, Medicaid, ACA subsidies and cancer research so we could bail out Argentina, the UAE, farmers and Spirit Airlines.
If Democrats win back Congress, would you support starting impeachment immediately?
Like immediately.
The more you know…💫
Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.
You may disagree, but if the heads of our military don’t trust Trump to be in the Situation Room because he’s erratic, unfit, or dangerous…HE SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT!
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.
This is not normal. And it cannot continue.
ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
The next Democratic president will encounter significant challenges and must demonstrate assertiveness, unlike previous administrations. It is crucial to pursue accountability for those involved and their affluent supporters in the aftermath of the Trump era.
Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:
Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.
I've told my family to stay away.
Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

Key insights from the graphic: 1950s: Corporate taxes were a major share (~30%), similar to individual income taxes. Today: Individual income taxes dominate (~45–50%), while corporate taxes are much smaller (~8–10%). Payroll taxes (Social Security/Medicare) grew dramatically starting in the 1970s and now make up ~30%+.
Look how much corporate tax revenue has dropped since the 1950s.
Dropped by almost 2/3.
So who is not paying their fair share of taxes?
1950s: Corporate taxes were a major share (~30%).

Over 40,000 people are currently incarcerated for Cannabis. Not a SINGLE Epstein files co-conspirator has been arrested.
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.
Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.
Today Maine Dem Rep Jared Golden cast the 214th vote to block a Democratic resolution to stop Trump's illegal war on Iran—the vote failed 213-214.
Golden isn’t running for reelection. He voted to bomb Iranians and Muslims for fun. Shame on Jeffries for once again failing to keep his caucus in line.
Rep. Ted Lieu’s statement about Trump enters congressional record, claim sparks intense political debate ⚖️⚠️
The moment has drawn widespread attention due to the seriousness of the claim and the setting in which it was delivered.
Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.
On this tax day, it just feels right to mention, that in 2025 Tesla paid ZERO DOLLARS in corporate taxes…
Zero. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. 😎✨
How does this fact make you feel?!
We are all severely under reacting to the fact that the sitting president of the United States RAPED CHILDREN
