Well said!

Last night was basically what we have seen before, except this time the GOP lacks anyone willing to do anything but dutifully stand and clap like its Kim Jung Un’s birthday. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-lies...

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

Tomorrow, Donald Trump is going to talk about how America is Great Again, thanks to him. The truth? Food and other costs are up. Corruption is way up. And he’s making Russia great again, while making America look small and weak. An awful start to an administration.

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme. Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.  "Party of family values."

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Gotta admit this is kinda fun gulfof.mapquest.com

With his war on federal workers, President Trump may now be creating the broad resistance within the government he thought was there all along.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This says it all.

A reminder for these times.

From Congress to local positions, Washington’s women are leading the fight for progress. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the trailblazers shaping our future 💙

When we fight we win! Elon - we see through these attempts to weaken essential services for eventual privatization to enrich yourself and other billionaires. We wont stop fighting these attacks on workers and the American people.

Trump administration questions federal employees’ use of official time for union activities The latest action on official time from the Trump administration aligns with other efforts to overhaul the federal workforce and limit federal unions' roles. federalnewsnetwork.com/unions/2025/...

Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war. We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Trump & Musk recently fired Sam from his dream job as a Park Ranger in Eastern Washington state with no justification. Without people like Sam: trash piles up, our parks are less safe, and less accessible. Share his story.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

Exactly

Five former secretaries of defense are right — Congress must hold hearings on Trump’s reckless firings of top military leaders. I sent a letter demanding answers on these moves that put our nation and service members at risk. This cannot go unchecked.

Boycott tomorrow! Join in tomorrow’s economic blackout From midnight tonight to midnight Friday night, please: No Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy, no Target, no Disney, no Google, no Facebook. Don’t spend on fast food, major retailers, or gas. robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott?ut...

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Transgender service members will be removed from the military unless they are granted a waiver, according to a memo the Pentagon. The rule goes further than the trans military ban President Trump enacted during his first term.

Mass firing federal workers endangers the economy, public services and the health and safety of all Americans, NTEU warns: www.nteu.org/media-center...

House Republicans just passed a budget that would kick families off their health care, shut down nursing homes, and force kids to go hungry—all to pass more tax cuts for billionaires that will blow up our national debt.

Raphael is a disabled Army veteran who worked at the VA in Seattle and played a critical role in processing servicemembers' disability benefits. He's received nothing but stellar performance reviews. Elon Musk fired him with ZERO justification. Help share his story.

How pandas clean their house.. 😅

Federal workers keep this country running—they don’t answer to an unelected billionaire on a power trip. Musk’s late-night ultimatum isn’t about efficiency, it’s about cruelty. He wants chaos so he can gut public services for profit. We’re not playing along. #SaveOurServices

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Superintendent Chris Reykdal stands firm on DEI programs despite Trump’s attacks. DEI is vital for education and equality and must continue - because moving backwards is not an option. www.kuow.org/stories/we-a...

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

While Macron has Trump distracted, Canada is in Europe reinforcing their alliances across the continent. It is building a global coalition to counter Trump’s tariff attacks. Canada FM Mélanie Joly: “Allies facing tariff threats must work together.”
