Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Because you're stupid and choose to stay that way.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Yes Jasmine! 👏

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Tomorrow I'll be speaking at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Standing alongside Mrs. Sicknick as we continue this seemingly impossible journey for accountability. I'll be joined by Whip Katherine Clark, Benny Thompson, Bonnie Watson Coleman and other lawmakers committed to this fight.

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

🚨BREAKING: The Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association files federal court lawsuit against Department of Justice over the improper targeting of agents previously involved in politically sensitive investigation. For more details follow @democracydocket.com. www.democracydocket.com

Every single one of them deserves PRISON.

OPINION | Snap out of it America. All the warning lights are flashing, writes @djrothkopf.bsky.social.

President Trump says the US "will take over" the Gaza Strip, after earlier saying he doesn't think there is a permanent future for Palestinians in Gaza.

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

The Joker meets The Penguin 🃏 🐧

Trump does not give a f*ck about “malnourished babies”. Pro-life is just a front for his followers to justify electing a tyrant.

🔥 Jasmine Crockett isn't holding back. "We have a thug in charge of the United States. And if we don't wake up, we may not have a United States."

I met David Hogg days after the Parkland shooting and I’ve watched him develop into the leader he is today. David is exactly the kind of person we need guiding the Democratic Party into the future and I’m proud to support his candidacy for DNC Vice Chair.

The American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night was carrying a group of elite young figure skaters, their parents, and coaches. RIP to all the innocent souls lost in this horrible tragedy. www.yahoo.com/news/youth-f...

Kash Patel can’t handle the truth…about his own past. At his confirmation hearing, he ducked, dodge, and lied about his pro-Trump extremism and plans for revenge. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

exactly. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse reads the law that allows Kash Patel to give permission to the committee to get a transcript of his grand jury testimony. Kash Patel goes in circles and refuses to give them permission. What is Kash hiding?

Such an important point… “The country has been hardened by a nine-year deliberate campaign of dehumanization.” — @NicolleDWallace We didn’t get here overnight. This wasn’t a quick process.

Here's Trump's order pinning blame for the DCA crash on Obama, Biden, women, and people of color

Brendan Carr, the FCC's new chairman, on Wednesday ordered an investigation into the sponsorship practices of NPR and PBS member stations.

Don’t listen to their words, look at their actions.

He’s still a sexist. He’s still a predator. He’s still an angry drunk. He’s still a dangerous pick for Secretary of Defense. youtu.be/Q4Es-IDBDao?...

Backlash to backlash to backlash

I ain't watching and Michelle ain't going.... end of subject ......

RFK Jr previously claimed his career as the founder, chairman and general counsel of an anti-vaccine nonprofit was “unpaid” and “the opposite of a profit motive.” But after being nominated by Trump for health secretary, he admitted that he had lied — he actually was paid a whopping $1.2 million.

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

If you've watched Hegseths Senate hearings, it's obvious he is shallow, inarguably unqualified, and completely subservient to Trump and will do whatever Trump tells him to do whether lawful or not. Thanks in particular to Senator Hirono for establishing just how craven and dishonest Hegseth is.

A Republican congressman threatened to withhold disaster relief aid amid the devastating LA wildfires that have destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 24 people. Meanwhile, Sen. John Barrasso said the GOP would ensure there are "strings attached" to any recovery funds sent to the state.

I reported and blocked three blatant Russian trolls posing as angry American “former Democrats” blaming Ukraine for the fires or similar. They have deployed on Bluesky. Look for them with no profile pic, almost nothing but reply posts, and the same crappy Russian cartoons. Report, block, hide.

Comedian, commentator and all around good guy, Christopher Titus @titusnation.bsky.social has had a belly full of Zuck and is focusing on moving his community of followers here. Let's give them a warm welcome and follow shall we?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so dumb she could fail a fucking survey.

That Felony Guy makes zero sense and is only going to get worse.

So true.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

This is a great explainer of how Medicare and Medicare Advantage works. www.linkedin.com/posts/ericbr...

MAGA Makes Shit Up From the dais after being sworn in Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a prayer he attributed to Thomas Jefferson Problem is, the Jefferson Fdn and others have long debunked the prayer as not something Jefferson wrote 1/3 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

@darcy662.bsky.social Sorry I am busy at the moment.
