On this solemn day of remembrance, please refrain from saying, "Happy Memorial Day." Today, we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Keep their families in your thoughts and be reflective about what their sacrifices have meant for our country.

Republicans don't have policies that are helping Americans. In fact, they are hurting us. Higher prices, fewer services and a president who is only concerned with himself.

After nearly every mass shooting, Republicans have said “it’s too soon to talk about gun reform.” Yet after the WHCD, where no one was killed, they immediately want to fund a $400M ballroom (which was supposed to be privately funded) for Trump.
I just signed a @uscedp.bsky.social petition urging Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles and Governor Abbott to stop the execution of James Broadnax, who didn't kill anyone. Join me and add your name.
Texas: Please don't execute James Broadnax for murders he didn't commit!
The state of Texas plans to execute James Broadnax on April 30, 2026 for a double murder that he did not commit. The actual shooter, James's cousin, Demarius Cummings, was sentenced to life without pa...

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
We have enough money in this country to make sure no child goes hungry, no family goes bankrupt from a hospital bill, and no senior has to choose between medicine and rent. We just keep giving it to billionaires instead. Tax the rich.
Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"
During the 1979 energy crisis, Carter invested in alternative energy. He put forward numerous policies to combat the crisis in addition to installing solar panels on the WH to promote solar energy. Reagan took them off. Where would we be now if the US had continued that investment into solar energy?
BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution
Imagine if experts and actual diplomats were involved in these negotiations.
Very unserious people are in very serious positions within our government.

Leigh Wambsganss outspent Taylor Rehmet 10 to 1 in a district Trump won by +17 points. A Trump endorsement is becoming more toxic with every election. I love that for Republicans.
Federal agents outnumber local police by a ratio of 5 to 1. How does the federal government expect local police to provide protection for them? This is exactly why federal agents should coordinate all of their efforts with local officials instead of coming in as if they are invading the city.
Scalise lies: "The want to defund ICE. They defunded police. The police chief of Mpls said yesterday multiple times how stretched thin his department is. They don't have enough people because Mpls defunded the police." (Police were not defunded and MPD is stretched thin bc of unrest caused by ICE)
I hope this regime keeps talking about the legal gun Alex Pretti was carrying. Those who live and breathe the 2A should see the rhetoric coming from the WH and other officials as a MAJOR concern about their own right to carry.
The National Basketball Players Association releases a statement following the Trump regime’s murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, saying that NBA players “can no longer remain silent.” The NBPA is standing up for free speech, civil liberties, and the people of Minnesota demanding justice.
The choice could not be more clear. It is not about party. It is about the very survival of our republic. I know what side I am on. And I'm fighting for it every day. What about you?
Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government
Republicans knew you would cave. It’s not too late to prove them wrong. #StandStrong @kaine.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us @senangusking.bsky.social
Thank you for holding the line and fighting for your constituents @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov! No deal that doesn’t include the one year extension of ACA subsidies. The majority of Americans want this and Tuesday’s election results affirm that we the people have your backs!
If there are truly 100 republicans who are ready to vote along with Democrats to demand full transparency on the Epstein files, then only 1 is needed to sign Reps. Massie and Khanna’s discharge petition today. Until then, I don’t believe a single one of them cares. #EpsteinFiles
DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein Files Are Even Worse for Trump
Details in the files are reportedly even more damning for Donald Trump than previously indicated—and it was already bad.

There. I fixed it. The refurbished Lincoln bathroom now looks just like his bathroom at Mar A Lago.
Raise your hand if you know who was president in 2020. Hint: he’s currently president.
Rise up. Speak up. Be counted. Find a #NoKings rally near you. We cannot let nearly 250 years of democracy die on our watch. We must exercise our 1A rights — not only for us but for the generations who will come after us.
The Trump regime’s constant onslaught of cruelty and mounting threats can be scary and demoralizing. That’s their intent. But the people won’t bow down. On Saturday, we’re gonna speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. Find a peaceful protest: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
Day one of the #RepublicanShutdown.
In the last 30 years, there have been seven shutdowns (including this one). Four of those have occurred under Trump - including the longest one in history that lasted 34 days. Republicans have control of the House, Senate and the White House. A shutdown means the president is weak. #MDIndivisible
