CALIFORNIA: Rep. @JayObernolte (R) becomes the latest to hear from the people 🇺🇸 🔥 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGZ0d7B...

1/ “There was no legitimate reason for the Friday Night Massacre in the military. It was the slaughter of our integrity, our values, and our security.” joycevance.substack.com/p/friday-nig...

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.

Brava Gov. Mills!!! We see you and stand with you and with Maine!

Thank you, AP! We are with you!

What you see when you belatedly realize you are now in the Find Out stage.

If you’re feeling discouraged, you need to listen to this!

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Jason Poe, you are a man of worth. Thank you for sharing your story, for standing up for your principles, and for speaking truth to power. I am proud to call you my fellow American.

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Say what?!

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

BREAKING: Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office, resigned after refusing a Justice Department order to freeze $20 billion in climate funds. In her resignation letter, she revealed that Trump officials had pressured her to launch a baseless criminal probe

NEW: The head of the FDA’s food division has resigned. “The division is tasked with ensuring that the country's food supply is safe, overseeing inspections and recalls.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

The Trump DoJ lawyers pushing this stuff can’t be humiliated enough for my taste. So many people should spit at their feet that they need galoshes.

While everyone is focused on what DOGE is doing, Elon Musk is quietly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an April Wisconsin Supreme Court race. This race could have electoral consequences in future elections, like 2028 in a crucial swing state. Pay attention.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Destroying science, medical research, and universities is already well underway. We have heard from four different scientists in the last few days that they are actively calling colleagues abroad, asking about jobs.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Union Square rally.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Wait. Donald Trump fired 300 people who oversee our nuclear weapons program then had to bring them back because he didn’t know what they did? Can you imagine the screeching from MAGA if Biden did that? 25th that incompetent man already.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
