Happy Obama Appreciation Day

This message brought to you by Harriet Tubman, an actual person who actually lived.

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

📌NOTE: DEI is about FAIRNESS not favoritism. That's not said near enough.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Exclusive: Sources who spoke with The Independent about Wendy McMahon’s sudden resignation noted that ‘everyone is worried’ in the CBS newsroom and they ‘don’t have much faith in the new executives.’ "Changing of the guard -- and not in a good way." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is so far over the line it’s disorienting.

Anyone else notice that deliveries from Amazon have become delayed a lot more frequently? Not sure what my prime membership is getting me if something says 2 day delivery and then becomes 2 weeks. I guess getting a tax break is more important than my little old packages!!

Trump is destroying the Department of Justice: “He is using the mechanisms of justice to go after political opponents; he is using those same mechanisms to reward allies; and he is eliminating internal opposition within the department.”

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

When you’re quoting Scalia on a Sunday morning.

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

Chuck Schumer makes it to the New Yorker cartoon section. And not in a good way. Chuck, this is your legacy unless you seriously step up. @schumer.senate.gov

MEDIA: Kindly stop comparing Democrats who want their leaders to fight for working people to the Tea Party. Democrats want their leaders to do more than just respond—they want them to fight. Here’s what that means: 🧵

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

NEW: The Trump Admin has been "covertly" withholding FEMA funds from Democratic states, seemingly as retaliation for sanctuary laws, a judge ruled. Hawaii is missing $6 million for widlfire aid. Oregon is waiting on $129 million for disaster prevention.

Each Democrat who voted to censure Rep Al Green should hold an IN PERSON town hall this weekend to explain their vote to their constituents. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Dolly Parton’s husband passed away. Sending her prayers and best wishes. She is a lovely person.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

MAGA lost their damn minds over the email lady's private server, but are crickets over Elon's 19-year-old "Big Balls" guy having access to all of our private info.

True.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days. The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

Drop Target. Shop at Costco. www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/b...

If you’re a Democrat and you’re still aiming your fucking fire at Joe Biden kindly fuck all the way off. The Day One Dictator said he is building a detention camp for 30,000 people. Focus on that shit or fuck off.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

In his parting message @jimacosta.bsky.social said we should all post: I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. We understand the assignment, Jim. And fuck @cnn.com.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

Take it from former Republicans: Dems need to fight like Republicans. Grill Trump nominees hard. Tulsi Gabbard is a massive threat to our natl security. What question do YOU think the committee must ask Tulsi? Let us know, we're emailing the best questions to members directly.

Excellent post
