👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 💙🇺🇸💪🏾

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

We all need the reminder that many of the changes needed to respond to the climate crisis aren’t a matter of giving something up, but getting something new: a better commute, a more comfortable home or a healthier life. That’s a fight anyone can sign up for. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/02/o...

They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.

Sounds like a billionaire who’s never talked to a working person in his life. Elon: get your hands off of Americans’ hard-earned Social Security.

Then do something. Leave the GOP.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

DON’T BUY A DAMN THING!

Elon Musk is now trying to flip the balance of power on the top court in one of the country’s most important swing states. Read @ariberman.bsky.social on the very high stakes in Wisconsin and the Tesla founder's plot to buy the state supreme court.

The entire Musk-Trump Administration is stuffed with zero qualified zero experienced maga whack-jobs whose only real talents are bending the knee to an adjudicated rapist and life-long scam artist — thereby selling their souls. We are not safe.

'Straight up extortion': 'Disturbing' report of X threats unnerves even pro-Trump author www.rawstory.com/x-advertising/

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

“Doge is quickly axing as many as 15K law-abiding and knowledgeable civil servants at the IRS. It is trying to coerce the agency to give Elon’s AI-wielding AV squad unfettered access to the system containing the personal and financial data of every American taxpayer, small business and non-profit.”

Has he blamed the Holocaust on Jews yet? Or is that for next week?

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

RFK Jr.’s CDC just pulled a flu vaccine campaign in the middle of the worst flu season in 30 years. 29 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations, and 16,000 deaths—including nearly 70 children. Public health shouldn't be political. Get vaccinated.

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 75. Trump’s approval ratings are sinking already. Here is everything you need to know about that and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Just because Donald Trump isn’t educated does not mean the rest of the country should lose their opportunity for education.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

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.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

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.

Believing that Kash Patel — conspiracy theorist, radical extremist, staunch MAGA loyalist, and newly confirmed FBI Director — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

How does firing thousands of federal workers in the Virginia area, make America great?

“What’s the point of fighting cybercrime if we’re just going to give access for government networks to people with cybercriminal gang affiliations?” www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Trump blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelenskyy a “dictator” isn’t a serious take—it’s just his usual projection. Russia invaded Ukraine. • If Russia stopped fighting, the war would end. • If Ukraine stopped fighting back, Ukraine would end.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
