Vaccines are so effective they have practically eradicated some of the worst diseases, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Even if you’re not a Florida voter, this election affects you. A loss for MAGA Republicans in FL-01 means: • A weaker F47 agenda • Stronger protections for democracy, voting rights, & civil liberties • A step toward taking back the House in 2024 #Valimont4Congress www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Thank GOODNESS for the Judiciary Branch and for THOSE Biden appointments. BUT even the non-Biden Republican judges are coming through for the PEOPLE. As Maine Governor, Janet Mills said to Donald Trump himself today when he tried and failed to bully her: SEE YOU IN COURT BRAVO! NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!🙏

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

AOC and a few others are taking this moment—this coup—deadly seriously. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Elizabeth Warren have risen to the occasion to not just resist legislatively in the near-powerless minority—they have answered the call to FIGHT—to LEAD a mass movement to shut fascists the fuck down.

Bad messaging: We need to educate our constituents so they know we don't have any power. Good messaging: We will do everything possible to protect our constituents and democracy, we hear their concerns, and we're going to tell them daily how they can help us oppose autocracy.

Senator Angus King points out an important truth about firing probationary employees. Any federal employee PROMOTED is on probation in new role for year. Know 2 people who were offered merit promotions last fall & turned them down because they didn't want to be "on probation" if Trump won.

I agree with Sen King. Video of Senator Angus S. King, Jr. in the senate. Unconstitutional moves endangers the structure of our government which will ultimately undermine its ability to protect the freedom of our citizens. The slow usurpation of congressional authority. youtu.be/W-C913fyfnU?...
