“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. “Our leaders must follow their example.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

I am enraged that our members of Congress, in the midst of the unfolding crisis of our economy, immigration actions and other lawlessness, see fit to leave D.C. for three weeks of vacation in April, and save for a few who are holding town halls or big events, or taking actions, 1/2

Where’s the mad king while the market crashes? Golfing in Florida.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

There is not a ton the average person can do to help with *waves hands like an anxious muppet* all this, but one thing you can do is support the heck out of your local library. Especially because they can loan you the stuff you’ll no longer be able to afford to buy!

KAMALA: “I’m not here to say I told you so — fear is contagious, but courage is also contagious.”

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Canada made the top 3🇨🇦😊

Trump's so-called “Liberation Day” is an economic nightmare. Markets tank. Layoffs begin. Allies strike back. Meanwhile, the winds are shifting towards democracy. We break it all down on the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

Wow — FLASHBACK — Rubio, Cruz, Ernst, Graham and other Republicans were against tariffs 👇🏽 (From @accountablegop.bsky.social )

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

The SAVE Act threatens to disenfranchise millions with strict in-person requirements for voter registration. This will disproportionately impact service members and civilians abroad, making it harder to exercise their right to vote. Call your reps today!! Use 5calls.org #SAVEAct #Resist

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Last night, Elon Musk gave two $1 million checks to two Wisconsites who signed his PAC’s petition in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race, one of whom is the chairman of the Wisconsin College Republicans. He’s spent over $20 million on this race–Musk is literally trying to buy this election.

Something to chew on.

A reminder that Bill Maher has long been an antivaxxer and AIDS denier and helped mainstream the “do your own research” culture now dismantling public health. He is also a good friend of RFK Jr. It’s time for the media to stop giving him a platform. You are not entitled to your own facts.

If any of these are your representatives, urge them to divest from Tesla: Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), and Dwight Evans (D-Pa.).

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!

1. OMG. The main concern is not the ability to hack Signal; it’s that if a foreign government has penetrated the phone of a person who is using Signal, they can read all of the communications on that phone in real time.

All the right's fearmongering over George Soros, and this guy is literally out here buying votes for the world to see.

If this doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what will. 🤬

Watch then sign up for a volunteer shift.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

In case you missed it: the Pentagon--that's Hegseth--got warned about using Signal a week ago.

Canada joins Germany, the UK, Denmark and Finland in issuing a travel advisory for their citizens visiting the US. Trump has humiliated our country with his sloppy incompetence and vengeful hate.

I had legit completely forgotten this.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

This breakthrough study shows the antiviral drug obeldesivir administered once daily orally was effective against a lethal challenge of Ebola in non human primates. This is an NIH funded study, the likes of which are being cut by the current administration. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨 Urgent! 🚨 Social Security could be gone in months. Don’t believe me? WATCH this. Then call your reps. Script below. #SocialSecurity youtu.be/da63R32f6p8

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

When companies invest in DEI, they invest in people. Now's the time for Target to stand firm in its values, not retreat. Will you add your name to call on Target's leadership to reinstate its DEI programs? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ta...
