You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

“I wish the Democratic Party would stop asking for money and start asking me for ACTION.” Well, with @janekleeb.bsky.social and @kenmartin.bsky.social taking the reigns, I get the feeling they will! jimhightower.substack.com/p/big-news-g...

The Associated Press said the White House barred its reporter from Tuesday’s Oval Office executive order signing because of the AP style guidance on using the name Gulf of Mexico versus Gulf of America.

"Even cutting 1 in every 4 government workers would only reduce federal spending by about 1 percent..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Musk wanted to defund the Consumer Bureau because it was tracking complaints against Tesla and other corporations hurting consumers.

If a woman did what Musk did and brought her kid into the Oval disrupting and interrupting the President she would be mocked and scorned by the public and press. She would never be given the keys to the government to cut what she wanted while taking $5 billion for her corporation in subsidies.

USAID kind of had this coming. I mean, it did challenge apartheid. the.ink/p/usaid-foug...

Did you know this?

Administrative coup. How else can you describe this insanity? Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

They are flooding the zone. Do not consent to being flooded. One of these things is not like the others. Musk’s anti-constitutional coup is of supreme importance, because it would unravel the republic itself. We need to focus. And need a media that can name reality. the.ink/p/focus-on-t...

The point about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza is that we’re wasting precious seconds talking about Trump’s deranged comments about Gaza and not unelected Elon Musk’s coup to dismantle our government.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

West Point- White Supremacy is now the official policy of the USMA

This morning on Haaretz. Meanwhile, on MSNBC, Yasmin Vossoughian says Trump might have just gotten the US into another war. Marc Polymeropoulos says Trump's dangerous idiocy will fuel terrorism.

Hmm, maybe Americans will wake up when their Temu packages don’t arrive. They can thank President Trump. www.wired.com/story/tariff...

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

A federal judge tonight blocked Donald Trump’s executive order transferring transgender women in federal prisons into men’s facilities. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

If you’ve ever wondered what it felt like to live in 1930s Germany… you know now. But our fate isn’t set in stone. We’re not doomed to make the same mistakes as the past. We still have ways to prevent the full consolidation of power. The first step is to BOLDLY let it be known that WE DISSENT.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Congratulations. I am hopeful what we can all do together!!!

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Question why is SD Rep Phil Jensen who is from Rapid city trying to shut down the Huron (on the opposite side of the state) school district??? What is motivating this action? @southdakotasearchlight.com @rapidcityjournal.com

Protesters at Senator Thom Tillis' office in Raleigh NC today:

The Resistance is strong! #Resist

Say what you want about Biden, but Biden/Harris would have never allowed Jared Kushner’s forced relocation out of Gaza plan.

At 4am in Riyadh, they put out this statement. 👇

@maddow.msnbc.com thank you for identifying what Leader Jeffries is doing specifically getting people in the heartland to reach out to Representatives I am very grateful you are back on the air regularly. Thank you you raise the bar!

Congratulations @janekleeb.bsky.social! We’re thrilled to see a climate champion in DNC leadership.

What if the Democratic Party 1) actually became a democratic entity embodying the ideals and policies of grassroots Dems, and 2) got out of the grip of the DC establishment to reinvest in and reinvigorate grassroots activists? @janekleeb.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social bit.ly/40GxMPk

Thank you @debhaalandnm.bsky.social for supporting and standing with our new @democrats.org Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social. We stand with you in the next steps of becoming the NM Governor! Our party and candidates must reflect our values.

Elon and Trump took down the direct file feature on the IRS site. You will now be forced to use a corporation to file your taxes. Elon and Trump are making things harder and more expensive for middle class and working families.

“Now it’s your turn to stand guard - may you all be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith.” 😭

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Fun fact: Minnesota is the only state in the nation with two Democratic women senators and an all-woman Democratic congressional delegation! Go Amy, Tina, Angie, Kelly, Betty and Ilhan!

all of the support @kenmartin.bsky.social is receiving is from hometown heros and hardworking communities! Let's do something different and elect a DNC Chair that knows how to speak to rural American!

My friend @amyklobuchar.com has been a champion for working people and a leading voice for Minnesota and our nation. I’ve been proud to work alongside her to keep Minnesota blue and deliver for the people of our state and country. It means so much to me to have her support.

I've been proud to work alongside my friend Sen. Tina Smith for many years, from her time as Lieutenant Governor to her service in the U.S. Senate. She delivers real results for people—and knows how to win. I’m grateful for her support.

Thank you, President Biden, for your lifetime of service and leadership. Our nation is better off because you stepped up to lead us amidst some of our most daunting challenges.
