I'm a Democrat from Nebraska. I believe that everyone should have the right to love & worship the way they see fit. I also believe that every American should be able to vote & have their vote count. Maga needs to stay out of our bedrooms and Dr's offices.

WOW! The Economist’s cover: “Donald Trump’s economic delusions are already hurting America."

Bernie Sanders is rallying in Wisconsin. LFG 🔥 Look at that crowd 💪🏻

I believe this is good news for Canadians 😊🇨🇦💙

Per @hissgoescobra.bsky.social "Evidence suggests that the Russians are using American satellite imagery to target Ukraine in long-range strikes. At the same time that Ukrainians are cutoff from even commercial US satellite imagery such as Maxar (by the way, f*ck you Maxar)."

Murphy gets it. Share widely, friends.

3 HARD TRUTHS 1. It's statistically impossible to win all 7 swing states in such a close race. Especially states that went Blue down the ticket. 2. It's impossible to hack paper ballots sent thru the mail in 2020 due to Covid. 3. Trump wants to control the mail.

Apt comparison.

It's both very good that the Supreme Court thinks Trump isn't a king, and very bad that the vote is 5-4

Capitalism's speedometer.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

“Tech mogul and billionaire Peter Thiel exerts considerable influence over US President Donald Trump’s administration, a Bloomberg article has claimed. Unlike Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, however, he prefers to keep a low profile.” (Bloomberg has a paywall but this doesn’t.)

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.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

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

If you haven’t already, please consider following @inequalitymedia.bsky.social and @imcivicaction.bsky.social — organizations I co-founded to help counter myths and disinformation about the economy and politics. I expect our team to be posting here more actively in the coming months.

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?

Hot damn.

Do you agree with Jane?

Inspiration for today….

Q: A young child just died of measles in Texas. Do you have a comment? RFK Jr.: It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time (This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years)

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.

Just add it to his other long list of crimes, going unpunished…

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did to our country on J6

Measles top Page One. @usatoday.com

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.

The U.S. has officially recorded its first measles death since 2015. Texas health officials have confirmed that an unvaccinated child has passed away from measles amid a massive outbreak that has impacted nine counties in West Texas. 👉 meidasnews.com/news/the-uni...

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

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.
