Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

He nails it.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I’m calling for Musk to be subpoenaed and come before the committee. His actions are unconstitutional and he needs to answer for them. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/7/ro_...

This is a coup.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

He should be our messenger.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Heartened to hear that no life-threatening injuries were sustained in yesterday’s crash and that all involved are expected to recover. While we wait to learn more about what went wrong, I’m grateful for the swift action and bravery of the first responders who answered the call.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Thousands from coast to coast protest tRump & Musk for the actions of their authoritarian regime.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Thousands rally outside the Capitol to protest Musk and Trump’s destruction of the U.S. government.

Protest in D.C. near the Capitol: #50501 #50501protests #TrumpMuskProtest

Huge turnout to protest the abuses of the Trump administration and save the civil service in downtown Seattle. Thousands in attendance.

Elon Musk attacked me on the platform he owns. I will not back down from the fight for democracy. @briantylercohen.bsky.social and I discuss. I hope you watch. youtu.be/XsR4QzK4yZ4

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

February 28th is the Economic Blackout Day. Mark your calenders. Plan ahead and it will be easy.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

Chocolate chip cookies called. It's kind of a dark, dreary day. These made the house smell so great!

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Jordan is one of our most important allies and Trump is threatening to withhold aid from them if they have a problem with us kicking an entire population out of their home so the US can occupy it. No new wars, though, huh? I’m sure Iran won’t have an issue with this plan.

NEW: DOJ files a notice of correction indicating that (1) it underestimated the number of USAID employees placed on leave; and (2) misstated that only future contracts were being frozen, when existing contracts were frozen as well. I suspect the judge will not be happy. www.democracydocket.com
