Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Once you realize that Trump and all the MAGA Republicans are working for Russia and Saudi Arabia, not America, everything they do makes sense.

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.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

Pete's here!

That’s why they’re trying to kill literature and arts programs!!!

The super bowl is a tragic distraction, especially with the puppet president there. While millions of gullible 'mericuns are watching the "big game," musk's criminal boyz and project 2025 engineers are digging deep. 🇺🇸⚰️ #muskcoup #coup #savedemocracy

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

House Dems are fighting against the lawless actions of the Trump Administration through: 1) Legislation 2) Litigation 3) Mobilization Gallup poll has Trump starting out as the least popular President in over 70 years. His Administration already failed on a number of issues.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Exactly

#BlackHistoryMonth Day 5 is a very important person for us these days. Jasmine Crockett. A congresswoman from Texas, she is unabashedly defending American rights for the entire country, not just her state. To hear her use her voice is truly a gift. Love this woman

WATCH: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has a message for Trump and Elon Musk.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett understands the assignment: "Everyday we show up for you. What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now." She knows who she works for and it is not for mega-wealthy donors who pay to play with our government.

During these unprecedented times, I can not be more grateful for Rep. Jasmine Crockett. She is a powerhouse. @repjasmine.bsky.social, thank you for taking the fight to them!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is fighting for our country, fighting for us.

Go Birds

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Does anyone in the @GOP have the balls to do what’s right here, or nah?

Not for nothing, but Direct File by the IRS was one of the best things the USG has done in years — it allowed millions of Americans to stop paying predatory fees to TurboTax. The literal only people who oppose it are TurboTax lobbyists.

Musk needs to face prison time for illegally accessing everyone’s social security numbers. Call your district attorneys and reps, demand action be taken.

@raskin.house.gov Mr. Raskin, you have one of the most powerful voices in govt. I would love to see u and Jasmine at the front door of the Federal Payments System and demand to know why civilians are gaining access to our personal information! We have rights too!

We are in a constitutional crisis. Thank you congressmen Murphy and Raskin.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Criminals.
