House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

I just saw Kaesee Bourne on news. She’s a fish and game biologist who was just fired by DOGE. I haven’t read her book yet but I just ordered 2 copies from Little Professor in Birmingham. She would probably love some book sales so order if you can or repost. #BlackHistoryMonth #booksky

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman — Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.

#music #history: Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. When Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash call you a major influence that probably is an indication. #guitar #rock #electricguitar #rockandroll #blues #bluesmusic #womeninhistory youtu.be/E1rgnoM1bQA?...

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies. The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits. This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud. See the pattern?

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.
