Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

If you’re into seeing Elon & DOGE get called out for their lies about *savings* — this account is doing a very nice job of it: x.com/electricfutu...

"'When we saw that the police wasn’t helping us, every able-bodied man in the neighborhood, with or without a gun, has stood guard and has been standing guard ever since,' said Dominic Brewton Jr., who runs a maintenance and repair company in the town..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

House Republican leadership has advised caucus members to avoid in-person town halls, fearing that voter backlash may become viral if circulated online. 🐔 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Ouch...

Donuts with Democrats: another record-breaking turnout!

It certainly will be interesting to see what concessions Trump is able to get from Putin. So far, it sounds like the dictator who invaded our ally gets everything he wants and gives up nothing. We will see.

DOGE and and Trump have gone after and weakened or even halted enforcement at least 11 federal agencies which have been investigating Musk's companies. The agencies have at least 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints, or enforcement actions into Musk’s six companies.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Black History Month isn’t just about remembering the past—it’s about recognizing that Black history is American history. Every part of our culture, from music to politics, from labor rights to civil rights, has been shaped by Black leadership, innovation, and resilience. 1/4

You might have heard of this organization, and there is a chapter in our state that is gaining momentum. We want to help spread the word.

Let today be a reminder that even "regular" people get involved without even meaning to.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Check out the photo from the monthly Hancock dems meeting last night! All of the people with their hands raised were first time attendees! Our movement is growing!

We won't be forgetting this any time soon. And neither should those Republicans that voted for such a person. Disgraceful.

Indiana: demand our Governor get it together & do what is right!

Indiana is included in the 41 states reporting high or very high influenza-like activity. Stay safe, Hoosiers.

The date does fall on a Friday, after looking it up. But it’s always a good idea to be more mindful of where you spend your money.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

NEWS Sweden is planning to tighten its strict gun laws, including new restrictions on AR-15-style semiautomatic weapons, just days after a lone gunman killed 10 people in what officials said was the country’s worst-ever mass shooting. Full Story: https://wapo.st/3WRRW7A

THREAD: We’re two weeks in, so here’s a quick report on what Trump has done so far. Spoiler alert: none of it very helpful, and most of it is extremely harmful.

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

EXCLUSIVE — On Tuesday, the Trump administration evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her house with just 3 hours notice www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... by @nbcnews.com

“The targeted individuals were more than a dozen young assistant U.S. attorneys in the Washington, D.C., office…One of the fired attorneys is a veteran and at least two have wives who are pregnant—including one expected to give birth this month.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trum...

The most damaging two weeks in history. The U.S.’s standing in the world, its ability to keep the country safe, the federal government’s fundamental capacity to operate effectively — all of these will take years to repair, if that can be achieved at all. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
