'Too little too late': RFK-backing GOP senator roasted over new measles remarks: Texas is experiencing a measles outbreak, which prompted physician Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) to tweet about it on X and tell Americans that the measles vaccine has been "safe and effective since 1963." He was then…

Didn't Senator Bill Cassidy, MD vote to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of HHS? We thought so. When preventable diseases spread across Texas, Louisiana & beyond, we'll be looking at you, Bill. You know better. You're betraying Louisianans, the American people and your oath.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

As the military under Pete Hegseth rolls back recruiting for minority Americans remember that black women are the only reason the Army met its recruiting goals last year. Not enough white men qualify to even serve no matter volunteer. They'll learn when recruiting collapses and it ain't "wokeness."

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is on its face a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

BREAKING: MAGA Congressman Buddy Carter introduces an idiotic new bill that would allow Donald Trump to "purchase or otherwise acquire” Greenland and name it “Red, White and Blueland.” This is something a 6-year-old would come up with. Republicans have made us a laughingstock.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

To me, it's simple. I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens. That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point. No complicity. Fierce opposition.

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.
