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.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

How stupid do you have to be to alienate customers and turn down 💰? I always used #Target reusable bags for all my shopping. Not anymore. Never again. Resuming my @Costco membership. I hope they get in the reusable bag game. Good branding opp. #Costco #DEI #Inclusion

This.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

— 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.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Ok that made me laugh

Gen Barry McCaffrey says the damage Trump has done by aligning with Putin and alienating our allies is irrevocable. We are so fcked. How bout those egg prices, though? Or her emails? Or Hunter's laptop? Or Kamala's laugh?

Yes, Trump has gone full fascist. TBH, it was SCOTUS that created this mess. They endorsed dictatorship. So, we're now in a constitutional crisis similar to the lead-up to the Civil War. This is the time for a unified & bold opposition. Who the f*ck is leading Dems? Where is the Shadow Cabinet?

Remember the Tea Party? It was noisy, ugly & aggressive, but it resulted in Rs taking the House. We need our own Tea Party mvmt because this Trump-Musk fuckery will generate a massive backlash. The Tea Party model...grassroots & astroturf, multimedia coverage, aggressive tactics etc...can work.

Yup. Agreed.

Dems need a dedicated attack team to go on offense 24/7. I want @kenmartin.bsky.social & allied groups to form Dem Action Group Rebels (DAGR), team of tech savvy digital & campaign gurus focused on aggressive comms & SELLING Dems, grassroots campaigns eg townhalls,exposing DOGE etc.This can be done.

@mcuban.bsky.social -- They need a dedicated team & training of pols. @kenmartin.bsky.social & allied groups should form Dem Action Group Rebels (DAGR), team of tech savvy, Gen Z digital gurus focused on aggressive comms & SELLING Dems, grassroots campaigns eg townhalls, exposing DOGE etc. LFG!

I need someone to answer this damn question!

Traitor #TulsiGabbard is the worst of the Trump appointments. All of the Senate Repubs who voted for her will own the inevitable crises and tragedies that Gabbard will create by compromising our intel & NatSec. Just pray that some whistleblowers step up. Btw, it's time for Jack Smith to leak vol 2.

Classic maga mindset. They voted for Trump because he was "supposed to hurt people, not us". Sadistic. "Own the libs." Keep in mind that this isn't the first time Trump decimated farmers -- he destroyed the 🇺🇸 soybean market in his 1st term and 🇧🇷 took over. They still voted for him...to hurt others.

AOC recently sat down for a Latino USA interview, where she imparted some wisdom I know we could all benefit to hear. Yes, we have to fight back. But we're still allowed to be happy. This is the most important time to intentionally cultivate joy. Full interview: youtu.be/Z5CyHQbB9vM?...

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

This is from a 2020 presentation. Now it's just the chaos we live in, and no such description is needed.

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week: The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who? wapo.st/3CKnHsI

It seems all of our living former Presidents, govt officials, business leaders etc have decided to stand on the sidelines as we face a constitutional crisis. Why?

It's good to see various trackers capturing USAID funding. We probably need an integrated tracker (covering all domestic & international funding) updated daily plus. We also need thousands of viral video interviews/clips with those impacted. Btw, who's tracking & auditing DOGE??

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.
