The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

Just moments ago, I received this message from a female Ukrainian soldier. It made my eyes get damp. Please, every day of your life, post and express support for Ukraine, and nothing but condemnation for Putin. As you can see, our support…matters.

Speaking as a nurse and an educator, Medicare telehealth saves $ on so many levels. Proposed cuts in healthcare and in education are detrimental not only to the health and welfare of families, but actually raise long term costs.

It's been a crazy week – and Donald Trump is trying to silence journalists who stand up to him. It’s working. Here's the most important thing you missed: youtu.be/4Ch2t4ffc0o?...

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.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I can’t wrap my brain how ordinary citizens who pay their taxes are not upset about legislation allowing wealthiest of us to avoid paying their fair share. Can someone make it make sense?

Heard an interview with a Trump voter on @npr.org & how pleased they are about the breakneck speed this admin is getting things done. This is WHY HISTORY IS SO IMPORTANT!! They don’t recognize the autocratic/oligarchical playbook and the destruction of our democracy.

This is a comprehensive list of companies that support Project 2025. I refuse to support any company that supports the Christofascist takeover of Project 2025. Save Democracy and boycott these companies.

In America we don’t bow to Kings or would be dictators. Today across the country people will actually gather to say NO. They want you to believe resistance is futile, that their power is inevitable. It’s not. History proves that people who stay engaged can change the course of events.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

📌EVERYTHING Trump is doing right now is to protect himself. He is installing loyalists -- expertise or clearances be damned -- in every govt. agency, and has control of our nation's armed forces. 📌This is a full-on coup, and it needs to be framed this way IMMEDIATELY in the press. We are in DANGER.
