@Harry Enten on CNN saying latest polls show most Americans are very upset with Trump. Angry about Musk, angry about takeover of government, angry about budget and job cuts. Only 10% think immigration is most important.

Why do some Democrats support and promote Republicans? In this political era, it makes no sense.

Yeah, I need bullet points and an action plan that includes overturning Citizens United, countering GOP misinformation (Rapid Response Team?) and a policy plan to protect democracy. Also, cradle to grave care for all, affordable housing and public education

It starts! Anyone from DHS who wants help with their polygraph examinations, just reach out. I have 25+ years experience representing both polygraphers & polygraphees. And if you want to be a #whistleblower, we're here for you too! @wbaidlaw.bsky.social news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

Democrats need to activate a Rapid Response Team for Trump propaganda. Fact checking is how you prevent fascist takeover. Don't worry about grassroots Dems, take care of your own job.

Trump is indiscriminately firing workers at the Hanford NUCLEAR cleanup site. For Elon & DOGE who have NO CONCEPT of what these workers do: trying to run Hanford with a skeleton crew is a recipe for DISASTER that could have irreversible impacts.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

There is no DOGE. Full stop. There is the USDS, which may stand for the United States DOGE Service, but American journalism uses acronyms in its reporting so I presume we would never see that phrase. Any major media outlet referring to the USDS as DOGE is inexplicably running ads for a Musk meme.

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

"An unelected individual, whose sole qualification is spending about $44.2 billion on the last election...is making wildly illegal budget, staffing, & policy decisions [and] stacking federal agencies with his cronies who are all doing Watergate-grade crimes about 300 times/day" [email protected]

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them. Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

Farmers are on the verge of bankruptcy because Trump & Elon are illegally blocking federal investments that are LAW. Trump is threatening a massive trade war that would crush farmers. Brooke Rollins will not stand up to Trump's illegal power grab—I voted NO.

Bernie makes the case that, in order to fight Musk, Trump and the other oligarchs, Democrats must take on Citizens United and get money out of politics. Otherwise, the problems with billionaires controlling our government will only grow. youtu.be/Txe2Zu3QbNU?...

🚨NEWS: Documents show Tesla bragging about its commitment to “integrate DEI principles & practices into the DNA of our company.” Then amid racial discrimination lawsuits, Musk declared “DEI must DIE” & Tesla erased any mention of it.

Of fucking course the creepiest, grossest, all-around worst kid I ever met in law school is helping the flagrantly illegal and horrific DOGE takeover. We used to regularly talk about his serial killer vibes. This is literally a government of the worst people in the entire world.

New: I think Schumer and Jeffries probably DO mean to condition Dem votes for budget legislation on a return to the rule of law. But strategic ambiguity and paeans to bipartisanship highlight just how unfit a party guided by lawyers, pollsters, and strategists is to handle an existential crisis.

Please stand up Democrats. We need to fight now more than ever.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers. We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

At least $12 trillion from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

Pro tip: If you run a company and your bank hasn’t pre-paid a tithe to Trump, then you probably shouldn’t have any balances at any one bank over the FDIC limit, because which banks get bailed out and which don’t will be up to him. Google “insured cash sweep.” Thank me later.

The plan is simple: 1. Vilify all journalism as "fake news" 2. Insist a billionaire's social media platform is the "real" media 3. Rig that platform's algorithm to shadowban journalism & amplify propaganda that depicts billionaire-enriching policy as "populism for the people"

As Trump shutters the CFPB, it’s important to remember JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon first declared war on the CFPB immediately after the agency proposed a rule to make it easier for Americans to move their money to banks that offer them better interest rates on their savings accounts.

🚨NEWS: Elon Musk’s sudden renewed push to kill the CFPB came 10 days after his social media company cut a deal with Visa to go into a scandal-plagued payment business the agency has been trying to regulate to make sure Americans’ money isn’t stolen. https://buff.ly/4hSGFMq
