He nails it.

"...one of the best people to lead those daily briefings, I think, is former Transportation Secretary @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who is perfectly poised to take on this newly created, full-time position on Capitol Hill." - @cherijacobus.bsky.social

1)Democrats @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have to get together with a unified message w/ 3 or 4 of their best,@petebuttigieg.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social & flood the zone with 2 or 3 talking points every day on tv...just like the GOP does

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

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.

I’m pretty sure this is a perfect example of his business acumen.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

This is maddening!!!

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

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

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 message, Democrats, is THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. It isn't subtle, but it is true.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Amen.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Like a couple of stink bugs walking around in circles.

Phones had a 90 minute hold when I called but you can always send an email!

Time for another lawsuit.

This makes me so angry (add it to the pile).

I organize online, but I show up in person. We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can. Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Imagine what Trump and Musk are doing that we DON’T know about. Of course we are in a full blown Constitutional crisis. If Republicans had an ounce of courage, they would’ve impeached and removed him already. We must never stop fighting. Onward.

Seriously, how hard would it be for the Senate and House Ds to have a morning joint press conference, 7 days a week, contesting Trump's assault on the US right now? Could be a different Senator and House Member each day. We are in a national emergency right now. Our leaders need to act that way.

NYC, you coulda had @maya4rights.bsky.social. Alas.
