I almost posted something identical yesterday. I went down the soda aisle and in that moment just decided I couldn’t afford Diet Coke anymore. And it’s not that I don’t have $9, but the cost vs value just doesn’t math anymore. Grocery prices are a full blown crisis at this point, and I’d really like to see some congressional action on price gouging. Because starving people living in the same country where grocery conglomerates are posting record profits is not a sustainable model. The greed has gone too far. Time to rein it in.

.@SenatorDurbin just exposed the threat of Trump judicial nominee Justin Smith. He noted that if an eighth grader explained what the Electoral College did, instead of answering who won the 2020 popular vote, they wouldn’t pass. This is exactly what Smith did. It isn't rocket science: Donald Trump lost. Joe Biden won. So why won’t Trump’s nominees say it? Because Trump is nominating them not for their experience, but for their loyalty. Smith is part of a broader effort to stack the courts and the Justice Department with people who won’t say no to Trump. We must demand #NoCronyJudges.

Can I get a Hell Yeah!

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.  🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland. •This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters. •The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.  •This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up. •Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. on.nrdc.org/4csRkwi

OMG, Trump’s post depicting himself as Jesus just got better! 🤣

In case you’re wondering what House Republicans are doing this week after a 2-week recess…. Passing a resolution honoring themselves for passing a bill last year. Seriously.

Today is TAX DAY and this video of a voter calling out Trump for being a TAX CHEAT and an ELECTION CHEAT is going viral: “He cheated on the golf course…
He cheated on his taxes…
He cheated on his wives…
He cheated on democracy…” But then came the mic drop 👇 “…and now he’s asking every Republican in this room to be one of his prostitutes. 
Not sexually - philosophically.
Do what he says, and you won’t be primaried. 
Defy him - and you’ll be punished. 
It’s that diabolical. 
It’s that simple.” Every American needs to hear this!! #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn

@pitfrog21b @BrittanyinTexas

@BrittanyinTexas but texas cops can sit outside an elementary school for an hour in body armor with guns, gas, and all kinds of tools to defuse, disarm, disable, and kill a suspect. That's why we need more social workers and less cops. Get to these families growing tomorrow's shooter.

WOW. COURAGE IN ACTION. 🔥 Oklahoma high school principal Kirk Moore runs toward danger and tackles armed suspect Victor Hawkins after he entered the school with 2 guns. Shooter said he was “inspired by Columbine.” This is what real heroism looks like.

Reminder of you need one!

BREAKING: @PsychoPAC24 just released their last ad featuring Trump’s sexual assault victims telling their stories. Please share far and wide!

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

Woman who lives only 1.6 miles from the META Data Center in Wisconsin speaks out She says their water system has been completely destroyed She says there is discharge that turns the entire river white like milk. She paid for testing and found extremely high heavy metal levels “I live on a horse farm and I am an educator. I, for almost four 50 years, a natural creek has flowed through my property. It's 20 feet wide, up to four feet deep. It has persisted through drought, flood, seasonal change. It's part of a connected system. Groundwater, tributaries, watersheds, aquifers ultimately flowing into Beaver Dam Lake. Until construction began upstream on the data center, its behavior was stable and predictable After construction started, all of that changed. Here in Beaver Dam, the creek began to stop flowing entirely without rainfall. It would abruptly return off in cloudy and opaque like milk, with enough force to cause drastic erosion and damage — Water testing on my property shows elevated strontium, a very dangerous metal, and other indicators consistent with deep groundwater influence”

@Magoo302 @emmcooper42 I'm with you!

@emmcooper42 Let’s dump the horrendous City Connects and bring back the red getaway jerseys and we can talk about the powder blues on all Thursdays.

Feeling personally victimized by the lack of Powder Blue unis on this Phillies team.

4-13-2009- Harry Kalas passed away 17 years ago today & it left a team & a fanbase absolutely stunned. The Phillies that day collect one of the most somber wins in team history , as it was their way to pay tribute to the departed legend @2008Philz

@blondederin My favorite time of year

John Kruk tweets from the booth are back.

@LqLana @kmeeo Let’s make this blubber racist famous… #NameThisRacist 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

@1zzyzyx1 Well said!

An Ohio man, Will Hollingsworth, makes a compelling statement about data centers and their environmental impact, as well as the claim that they can recycle water. Will provides clear and concise reasons against them. #DemsUnited

@hopscotch1q @maddenifico

@maddenifico I’m going to skip work every day through to the funeral, and every day I’m going to do all my favorite things and cook all my favorite meals. The world will be as new!

The day it happens. 😂🤣👇
