Thousands of openly-trans members of the military were just given a huge middle finger by the Supreme Court's conservative majority, who are allowing a cruel and unnecessary ban to go into effect while a challenge works through the courts, despite overwhelming evidence the ban itself is ridiculous.

Federal workers are public servants in our communities all over the country. Elon, Trump, and DOGE have been shamelessly cutting their jobs and benefits and attacking their right to organize. I stand with federal workers and the work they do to serve the American public.

🚨House Democrats just filed a discharge petition to force a vote on protecting Medicaid and SNAP. Republicans deny that they want to cut funding for these, so it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is.

As a parent with kids in school this is the stuff that keeps me up at night. That Trump is *hiding* and *reversing* any progress we've made to stop school shootings is truly unthinkable. They say it's not the guns, it's mental health, and then defund mental health programs.

Gun violence is the number one killer of kids in this country, and gun crime continues to plague America’s communities—but rather than addressing it, President Trump and his administration are trying to cover it up. We won’t let them get away with this.

I want to thank the hundreds of Vermont lawyers (including my wife!) who traveled to Burlington and banded together to hold the line against Trump. His attacks on the rule of law have already had a chilling effect on our state.
Vermont Lawyers Rally for the Rule of Law in the Age of Trump
Vermonters have frequently protested the president's actions this year. But this is the first time in memory that Vermont's lawyers demonstrated en masse.

Trump announced he wants to cut $163B that would've gone to health care, housing, child care, education, clean energy, nutrition, & research. But he wants $1 trillion for the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit. It was never about waste, fraud, and abuse. It's about making the rich richer.

Marco Rubio is going after people who are living here legally and peacefully, who are not a danger to America or our foreign policy interests. He has strayed so far from who we are as Americans. He’s an embarrassment to the country.
Representative Becca Balint@balint.house.govMay 1(source)
Republicans will tell you behind closed doors they are afraid. Afraid of their families being targeted, of Trump or Elon tweeting about them. They're keeping their heads down so no one will notice. Well here's the deal: this isn't going away. It's not going to just fade away.

We need to face this: US farmers are 3.5x more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Farmers go through unique stressors. Congress allocated money to help get them therapy, which has now run out. We need to fund mental health support for farmers permanently.

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

If we don't stand up for the things that make us Americans, for due process, for all of the ideals that we hold so dear, then this country means nothing. We are only as good as the ideals that we uphold.

Today, the rule of law won. Thanks to our collective action, Mohsen is free. Yet, so many others aren't. Mohsen's case showed that Trump cannot detain lawful residents for exercising free speech—let's keep fighting until every illegally detained person is free.

My staff has confirmed with Mohsen's team that he has been released on bail. So relieved. This is a huge win but the fight is far from over. It’s going to take all of us to demand due process for everyone.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.
