Republicans are taking an axe to your housing, health care, and education, all to give tax cuts to billionaires. They are literally stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But itā€™s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

While Republicans start their work tonight on a bill to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits, Democrats are working to make your life better, safer, and more affordable. Here are 10 of the amendments I filed to the Republican budget bill šŸ§µ

Iā€™m hosting a telephone town hall this Monday, February 24 at 5:30pm PT. Join me for an update on whatā€™s happening in Congress and make your voices heard.

Where does Britain send the bill for coming to Americaā€™s aid after the Twin towers attack & it invoked NATOā€™s article 5 in Afghanistan? #r4today

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada šŸ

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. Iā€™m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Muskā€™s team to access individual tax returns.

Nick misses the old days when the Nazis were more competent.

Today in National Parks News The pushback from the idiotic firing of thousands of National Parks employees is having an effect. Keep calling Keep the pressure on 202 224 3121 www.latimes.com/california/s...

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous carsā€”which Elon Musk claims are the future of Teslaā€”is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

The Science Committee held a hearing on ā€œEnsuring U.S. Global Leadership,ā€ but we cannot pretend that everything is normal when Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk are disrupting federal research and threatening scientists.

Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicansā€™ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

When thereā€™s a natural disaster, NOAA is on the frontlines. Trump and Muskā€™s plan to shut down NOAA would be a disaster for the millions of Oregonians and Americans who rely on NOAAā€™s accurate weather forecasting and emergency response services.

Yeah, the numbers donā€™t add up. Musk and Trumpā€™s mass firing spree isnā€™t actually saving any meaningful sums of money... All theyā€™re accomplishing is ruining the lives of dedicated public servants. They need to stop the lies and destruction now.

As Republicans move a budget resolution tonight, itā€™s important to understand this: they're working on tax breaks for billionaires while slashing health care, education and public safety and doing nothing about the really big problems most Americans are facing, like the rising costs of housing.

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

ā€œDemocrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We canā€™t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.ā€ Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. šŸ‘‡

Have you heard about the biggest bank heist in history? Donald Trump is trying to pull it off right now. He wants to steal 20 billion of your dollars that are already working to cut energy bills and power the clean revolution.

Thank you to Arielle Kane, an Oregonian who was working in Washington DC doing important research to address our countryā€™s high maternal mortality rate until she was abruptly fired by email a few days ago. www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/...

Hey DOGE... Your Parks and Recreation people would like a word with you.

This is code for cuts to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. This is a war on Medicare.

ā€œAt least Russia has electionsā€ Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, thatā€™s fine. Just admit that. Donā€™t insult anyoneā€™s intelligenceā€”including your ownā€”by claiming Russia has real elections.

Absolutely heartbreaking. No oneā€“ā€“especially a childā€“ā€“deserves to face this much cruelty over their familyā€™s immigration status. My thoughts are with Jocelyn's family during this unimaginable time. www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

If youā€™re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

ā€œI thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights,ā€ he said. ā€œI had no idea it was like a dictatorship.ā€

Henceforth, any plane that lands and flips will be known as the Fetterman landing.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elonā€™s companies get billions from defense contracts. Heā€™s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.
