Trump is exploiting a tragedy to take away your constitutional right to free speech (with @jimacosta.bsky.social).

I’ve seen what authoritarianism looks like.
For decades I've called out leaders in Russia & China who silence dissent. Now Trump is doing it here: using state power to crush opposition to the government.
His conduct is anti-democratic & anti-American. We must fight it.
Trump and his cover-up crew want you to forget about the Epstein Files.
For the sake of the victims, I won’t let this go away.
Let’s review.
X: owned by Trump’s largest donor
Facebook: owner gave Trump $1M
TikTok: soon operated by billionaire Trump donors
ABC: fired Kimmel, gave Trump $15M
CBS: fired Colbert, gave Trump $16M
This isn't normal. Free speech doesn't belong to billionaires.
My statement on political violence and the Trump administration’s crackdown on free speech in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Yesterday, Trump threatened to go after ABC.
Today, ABC canceled @jimmykimmel.com for the terrible crime of speaking his mind.
If the media continues cowering to Trump, this censorship will only get worse.
ABC—grow a pair.
Apparently it’s only class warfare when Democrats fight for working people & everyday folks—but not when Republicans rip away their healthcare to give Jeff Bezos another yacht or Elon Musk another tax break.
Republicans don’t give a shit about fixing America’s REAL problems. All they care about are culture wars & division.
Trump promised an economic golden age.
Instead, he gave you more expensive groceries while his rich friends got tax breaks.
Billionaires are better off than they were last year. Working people certainly aren’t.
We must fight corruption & human rights abuses—whether at home or abroad. That’s why I’m demanding that Secretary Rubio immediately pursue justice for Juan ⬇️
One year ago today, Juan Antonio López was assassinated in Honduras for standing up to corrupt corporate and political elites who continue to poison and pollute the local air and water. Those who planned his murder still walk free.
After wrongfully terminating the program without Congressional approval, USDA is now reinstating it.
We fought back—and we won.
Earlier this year, I demanded that Secretary Rollins immediately restore funding for Farm to School grants, which helps bring farm-fresh food into cafeterias across the country.
“Here we go?!” This is idiotic. Does he realize that global security—and the threat of nuclear war—isn’t Saturday Night Football???

🚨 BREAKING: 15 years after Citizens United unleashed unlimited corporate spending, Rep. McGovern just reintroduced the Free and Fair Elections Amendment to end big money’s grip on our politics.

Kids who’ve grown up in the U.S. are AMERICAN. For many Dreamers, this is the only country they’ve ever known. That’s why I signed @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social's letter condemning @DHS for illegally detaining DACA recipients. They deserve to be treated with dignity & given a fair shot to succeed.
$77B poured into elections since Citizens United. That’s not democracy—it's an auction. Government of, by, and for billionaires & corporations.
I just reintroduced the Fair & Free Elections Act to get big money out of politics & put power back in the ballot box where it belongs.
Yesterday, six people were killed in a terror attack in East Jerusalem. I strongly condemn this horrific act of violence. Targeting civilians is always abhorrent and always wrong. I send my deepest condolences to the families of the victims.
Israel’s airstrike in Doha brazenly violates Qatari sovereignty & international law. Netanyahu clearly has no interest in peace. We shouldn’t send another cent of military aid for his reckless war. Our priority should be a ceasefire, hostages released & a surge of aid into Gaza.
So let me get this straight…20 years ago, Democrats forged Trump’s signature on a creepy birthday card to a pedophile...planted it in Epstein’s estate before Trump even ran…and then waited to release it until *after* Trump got reelected?
Got it.
