I know people are justifiably focused on the weakness of federal leadership, but there are other things going on that require immediate attention. This is one of them….#stopSB21 #StopElon actl.ink/sb21?ref=lm youtu.be/orLlW33lQKs

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Loyalty Over Merit Trump fired Gen Brown because he pushed back on Trump’s war on “woke” making him a target. His replacement—Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, is less qualified, but a Trump loyalist. This isn’t about military strength—it’s about purging leaders who won’t bend the knee!

Noooo! @msnbc.com, don’t mess this up. The Weekend trio is 🔥—they keep it real & that’s what folks are looking for right now, but so does Joy Reid. She brings facts, truth & a perspective we can count on. We need that now more than ever. Real talk: replace Morning Joe instead. Viewers are over it.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

The oligarchs cling to MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech—because dreams aren’t a threat. They hide this—we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice. They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s “One Penny” speech…

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing… But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.
