Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
El Salvador’s prisons are sites of torture and abuse. Yet the Trump Administration has sent legal residents there—in violation of international and U.S. law.
I led 17 colleagues in demanding Secretary Rubio & Secretary Noem end these renditions. Read more ⬇️
I’m sickened by reports that ICE harassed my constituent & terrorized his autistic daughter—a U.S. citizen—by using her as bait. If true, it’s cruel, inhumane, and they must be held accountable. Thuggish, lawless behavior like this has no place in our country.
Even the millionaires & billionaires admit: the tariffs are a disaster for regular people.
This economy was already rigged for those at the top–and Trump is making it worse.
Trump’s DOJ rewards child sex traffickers with cushy digs & yoga classes.
Guess he’s not “tough on crime” when it comes to pedophiles.
If Trump hands TikTok over to his billionaire buddies, they could weaponize the algorithm to silence free speech & spread pro-Trump propaganda. TikTok should not be a platform for authoritarian propaganda, whether it comes from China or MAGA. This is scary stuff.
Trump is not a king. Public pressure works.
TV conglomerate Nexstar Media Group, Inc. wants federal approval of a billion-dollar-merger.
Shortly after Trump's FCC pressured them, they announced they were preempting Jimmy Kimmel. Then ABC caved.
The First Amendment is not up for negotiation—or sale.
I'm demanding answers.
It’s no surprise Trump doesn’t want USDA to measure how many people go hungry—his Big Ugly Bill kicks millions off food assistance & will make hunger in America worse.
Yet again, he’s burying the data to hide how terrible his policies are for working folks.
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.
