.@MayorWu came to Washington to defend Boston, tell an accurate story of our vibrant and diverse city, and affirm that immigration is essential to our city's success. She did not just meet the moment—she exceeded it.

DOGE is a trojan horse to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would address the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

BREAKING: Massive anti-Trump protest taking place outside the US Capitol building. I certainly don’t remember Americans protesting Biden’s presidency like this. Crowd size matters, right?

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd? Nope…crickets. It’s always been a lie.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

The decision to pause federal grants and loans is intentionally chaotic and designed for maximum harm, like so many of Donald Trump and the GOP’s recent actions. From hurting food banks to closing daycares, Republicans are targeting everyday people and putting them at risk. Let’s break down what’s at stake. 🧵

Americans need a federal government that works for them, not against them. The president's actions harm all Americans including children with disabilities, families in need of housing, seniors who rely on Medicaid for healthcare, and first responders. aft.org/press-release/…

Firing federal workers won't get Social Security checks out any faster. It won't help veterans or seniors get the care they need. It just makes things harder.
AFL-CIO ✊@AFLCIO

Federal workers are crucial members of our communities. They get our Social Security checks out, take care of our veterans, and keep us safe when disasters hit. They deserve better. Listen to @AFGENational President Everett Kelley talk about Schedule F:

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has declined to stop Trump's sentencing tomorrow, meaning it will happen. John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals on the court.

President Biden Archived@POTUS46Archive

I’m proud to be the first president in more than 20 years to expand Social Security benefits. Workers who dedicated their lives to their communities deserve to retire with dignity and security.
