Oh MAGA, bless yer hearts.

AOC: “36,000 people. Biggest rally Bernie or I have ever done. Thank you, LA!”

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

A big shout out to Maxwell Frost for joining AOC and Bernie in the fight for our democracy! Thank you sir!

Speaking the unvarnished truth-without fear of consequences-because it's the right thing to do Fighting the fraud, the lies, the criminality of the Trump administration @aoc.bsky.social displays the type of leadership the Democratic party needs The FIGHT we yearn to see LET'S GO

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

Fury with Republicans continues to explode. Constituents stormed out of Rep. Victoria Spartz’s Westfield, Indiana town hall 30 minutes early, angry that Spartz refused to answer their questions. Note: Leaders with the National Republican Congressional Committee instructed members not to hold…

WE HAVE POWER This was a hell of a moment to witness. You could see the shift—the moment this constituent realized her voice had power. She spoke louder, stood taller, and owned that room. 🔥 Republican Rep Victoria Spartz’s SignalGate response did not land well with the crowd.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Did we get that right?

The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

Why are all the billionaires I've seen WHITE MALES????

📌Was watching the hockey game in a Mexican bar last night. When Canada scored, the place exploded. In but 31 days, Traitor Trump has succeeded in turning the entire world against the United States.

The total estimated savings when using Cost Plus Drugs compared to Medicare was $462,375,491.53 and $618,833,850.34 for 30- and 90-count pricing, respectively. The price of a 42.5-gram tube of vaginal estrogen cream was $22.48 on Cost Plus Drugs, compared to $293.66 through Medicare Part D. #econsky

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The question is can you work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis when democracy is on the line? And right now, I think that this crisis is serious and deepening in its seriousness, that our job #1, #2, and #3 is to save our democracy."

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

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

New from me + @leahfeiger.bsky.social: An internal analysis at Treasury found that DOGE was “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” @wired.com www.wired.com/story/treasu...

In an unusually direct appeal, William Webster, a Republican and former director of both the CIA and the FBI, sent a scathing letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), urging him to remember his legacy of strengthening the FBI and stop Kash Patel from being confirmed. www.huffpost.com/entry/willia...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Elon Musk belongs behind bars—along with these clowns. When the time comes, I’m backing a president who gives zero f*cks about “looking partisan.” Someone who’ll do what’s right, appoint an AG with a spine, and restore justice—no matter what it takes or how it looks.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

White privilege is firing a bunch of FAA officials because REASONS, forcing the FAA Director to resign, freezing all hiring of air traffic controllers, and then having planes crash and drop out of the sky in a span of TWO FUCKING DAYS and getting to KEEP YOUR JOB. My Black ass would be fired.

Tomorrow is Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence. Gabbard faces a narrow path to confirmation amid concerns that she regularly parrots conspiracy theories, Russian propaganda, and is a Putin sympathizer. 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It’s outrageous that preschoolers who need school lunches, seniors who need hot food from Meals on Wheels, nursing home workers who need Medicaid funding, and other Americans could have to worry about losing funding due to Donald Trump. I will keep fighting back.

Trump’s the biggest pathological liar on the planet. And despite what corporate media wants you to believe, his second term is already a miserable failure in many ways.

Every Democrat Must Do What Sen. Tammy Duckworth Just Did This is how it’s done:

Republicans own every disaster Pete Hegseth causes for eternity. A reckless choice. Someone who is susceptible to blackmail, with a slew of serious allegations against him. What an abomination.

I’ve seen enough. Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office. Spineless Republicans won’t do it. But it absolutely needs to be said, right now. My Friday Post:

Here’s Why It's Not Too Early To Call For Trump's Impeachment and Removal

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…

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. FOLLOW ALL as together we remember and embrace the great civil rights leader’s hopes and dreams. Dr. King’s legacy is a powerful reminder for all America — so desperately needed now. Please heed the call to… go.bsky.app/5GZfCQY

Melania Trump declined Jill Biden’s invitation for tea at the White House, and yet I haven’t seen a single Republican call her out for disrespecting “protocol.”

I will not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration either. Busy. So, busy.

So, the MAGAincels who went from being experts on infectious diseases to experts on vaccines, military withdrawals, presidential immunity, firearm forms, voting rights, libel law and interoceanic waterways are now experts on wildfire management? Do I have that just about right?

Another impersonator account popped up that is NOT us. Can you please help by reposting this and reporting them? 🙏💙 bsky.app/profile/call...

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

here's today's post: "elderly convict won’t stop running his ignorant mouth about the LA fires" — and the media continues to fail us. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

After ending the fact checking protocols on Meta, Zuckerberg has removed anti LGBTQ hate speech policies from his platforms. Zuck may think obeying in advance will win him favor or safety with 🟠 – but it will NEVER be enough. NEVER. This makes me sick.

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland? It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.
