Yes he is.

Clip and save this for when he spends the majority of his time at his golf courses again, I guess

Mike Johnson is totes OK with Trump and Musk doing whatever they want with taxpayer dollars Because when Congress appropriates funding they give the president “discretion” “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law” US Constitution, Art 1, Sec 9

Great point.

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

If the White House decides it can defy the will of the courts, then the people must defy the will of the White House.

Why are they breaking the law and testing the system? Because they know the American people would reject this. And they can’t do it using a regular order process. This is why we must fight back and continue to hold them accountable.

Hear, hear!

This is the way.

JD Vance was owned hard over his excusing of the anti-Indian racist on DOGE, Marko Elez.

Interesting enough, we used to have proxy voting so folks could vote while they’re sick or other reasons. House Republicans eliminated proxy voting last session. If you aren’t in the building, you can’t vote. So, if you’re in the hospital, your 750,000 constituents lose their voice on the issue.

Today we were denied entry to the EPA as hundreds have been threatened and put on leave. And as Elon Musk & DOGE have hacked their systems. I have spent my life fighting for our land and water and will not stop. We will take this fight to the courts, to Congress and the streets!

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

We need to shut ICE down until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Close your eyes and try to find him!

The more the chaos unfolds the more it seems unlikely that they were going to base its implementation on the results of a free and fair election.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

Today we commemorate the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which extended voting rights to African American men. This monumental step towards equality reminds us that our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard. We MUST protect voting rights for all.

They shut them down there. Let’s follow them here. Pass it along. https://bsky.app/profile/altusaid.bsky.social

Germans know fascist wannabes when they see them.

Oh myyy, they are the very letter of it!

This is such a terrible headline, I hesitated to share because I don't know what to say other than legacy media is broken. Games and puzzles have replaced fearless journalism. Support independent media.

Thanks to Citizens United, America is being taken over by billionaires who are disrupting every aspect of American life.  We must fight back!

The silence from Dems is deafening. We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it. @dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Donald Trump calls his Admin the “New Golden Age," but let's call it what it is: “The Great Betrayal.” He promised he would address the cost of living and issues affecting Americans. But in just seven days, he's disrupted every aspect of American life. He is chaos.

The White House is trying to claim the federal funding freeze that sent millions of Americans into chaos yesterday is a “hoax.” Firefighters, police, state, local and tribal governments… Dude, we have the receipts. And, it’s your own memo. We will not be gaslit.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

Russ Vought, the private citizen who has not even been confirmed as OMB head?

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that: Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid. Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance. Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

All Americans can agree on this: no president should use disaster victims as political pawns. Yet President Trump is doing just that—focusing on validating his own conspiracy theories rather than helping Americans. Our families need help and compassion—not political games.

The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy and puts the safety of every American at risk. This reckless move must be reversed, and my colleagues and I demand that he comply with the law, no excuses.

As Trump removed the U.S. from international climate agreements this week and unleashed a slew of anti-climate and clean energy executive orders—we’re ready to fight back and protect our air, lands, and waters!

Bishop Budde provided — for all of us — the first step in avoiding a dangerous cycle in which we willingly yield power to authoritarian behavior. New from @crawfordstuff.bsky.social for our series, How Democracy Survives. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-democr...

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is a longtime friend of RFK, Jr. and reportedly has not yet committed to voting against him. Personal friendship are not relevant to whether a nut job like RFK, Jr. is qualified. Call Whitehouse: 202-224-2921 Or message: whitehouse.senate.gov/contact/email-sheldon

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Happy Birthday to the leader of the free world. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

Women belong in leadership! Only 150 women are in the House right now. Women make up half the country’s population. EQUAL REPRESENTATION NOW!

This is unbelievable. The Washington Post reveals that an aide working for Mike Johnson persuaded Republicans not to issue a subpoena for former WH aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified to the Jan. 6 committee—fearing it could expose the sexual texts many of them had sent her.

It's 2025 - NO ONE should be without access to water.  And yet, thousands of members of the Navajo Nation don't have running water in their homes. It’s time to address the vast and urgent water needs of Tribal communities.

The reason why this is bad is the very fact that it’s transparently ridiculous: it shows how this is becoming a Kim Jong-Un-style cult of personality, where the sycophants try to outdo one another in their groveling to get the attention of Dear Leader.
