As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
I just urged California lawmakers to help get justice for homicide victims' families and end gun violence! Send your message: etwn.us/3Jmf8ag #AB15 #CALeg @MomsDemand
Crime in the White House is up substantially
How exactly is that going to work? Republicans control all the parts of government that could send aid. Why aren’t they doing it?
@cbs no one believes canceling Colbert is about “finances”. Shame on you!
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
UPDATE: Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed, and Senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot and critically wounded.
We must stand united against political violence.
Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
The daily toll of America’s gun violence crisis can seem inconceivable, but every single person taken by gun violence was someone’s loved one, friend, and family member.
Great start to #WearOrange tonight with the #MomsDemandAction Wear Orange event! We can (and should) #EndGunViolence
Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.
You can avoid it as much as you want. But this is at the root.
This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.
Terrible
After ICE agents raid the wrong Oklahoma location (the immigrants they were looking had already moved), they still force minor girls outside in their underwear, raid the home, and take the family’s money and electronics. kfor.com/news/local/w...
Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America.
And what we can all do to stop it.

Not quite sure what I will do after Rachel Maddow is no longer on 5 days a week. She is the only news show I watch and the only one I trust. Her news show is literally keeping me sane right now. @maddow.msnbc.com

The Trump admin illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, lost at SCOTUS—and now says it has no duty to bring him home.
He’s stuck in a Salvadoran prison.
They don’t care.
This is cruelty as policy. This is what lawless authoritarianism looks like. 🔗

I know Cory Booker has done something great here because rightwing trolls are working overtime to downplay it.
It is so fitting that Sen Booker broke the longest standing filibuster in US history. I hope the former record holder is looking up from where he is and weeping. #GoodTroubleNecessaryTrouble
Thank you Senator Booker!!
FIRE HEGSETH! Nepotism is against the law. Absolutely moral failure. www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202...
They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.
We cannot stay silent.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

The world feels upside down & some days it’s almost paralyzing. Knowing that I have this entire state of badass advocates working along side me, helping to keep us safer, gives me hope ❤️ HUGE thx to all the CA @momsdemand.bsky.social vols, survivors, students & comm. partners for always showing up.
Thank you!
I’m gonna need to see the Obama picture too 😂
