The two incidents they've found most enraging to date are Budde and Zelesnky because they both involved somebody daring to disagree with Trump to his face, a rare occurrence, and nothing more reveals the weakness of a bully and shatters the illusion of power and subservience.

In light of what just happened in our country, I’m going to start my time here with an old Hungarian proverb: “The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the ax, for the ax was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.” Be careful.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023. This is the "free market" he's so desperate to defend… ~ Robert Reich

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in the US, way back in 1985. We went on to adopt five wonderful kids — all adopted at birth. They’ve grown so much! Here’s a pic from our wedding in 2000, and a recent one including their significant others. ❤️

I’m glad that Governor Mills is a folk hero to the Democratic Party for heroically standing up to Trump. But that isn’t the story. The story is that Trump threatened/blackmailed her in public. If this is what he does in public, what does he do in private? Why is everyone ignoring this?

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Costs are rising. People are struggling, yet the focus for the GOP is to give tax breaks to the rich.

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response. Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course. This is the opposite of efficiency.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

I want to thank the 34,000 Vermonters who joined Sen. Welch, Rep. Balint and me in our delegation town hall by phone & online. An extraordinary turnout for a state of 650,000 people. Needless to say, the people of VT are deeply concerned about what’s going on in DC right now.

Every Democrat campaigning for president in the next election should pledge to revoke the citizenship of every person who paid $5 million for it, and to immediately deport every one of them. With no refunds.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

NO NAME PARTY ADVICE: Firms like Amazon, Walmart, Facebook, Instagram and other Republican enterprises are addictions that have conned you as a drug dealer cons kids into sampling their wares. Tobacco companies murdered hundreds of millions. It's up to you. Be addicted or be brave,

A start. I'd prefer a forever blackout of these and other corps like Facebook,Instagram, Twitter, and every other Republican supporting organization. We have the power. We need to use it starting today and until the Trump Regime is ousted.

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully. Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them. Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
