I’m curious about federal employees called back after their firing? This might sound crazy-but are they calling back persons of color?Or just white fired workers? I can’t help but think that’s one of their motives of the chaos as many actions indicate they are racists or hateful toward many groups.

It’s borderline criminal.

In Anniston, Alabama

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Might save a life.

"NO KINGS LIVE HERE"

As requested by a third grader in a letter to my office: Happy Third Graders Day, Minnesota!

DONALD TRUMP: "My tariffs are gonna be great for America!" STOCK MARKET: "God, you're stupid."

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

We need to all be in the streets protesting this. Constantly. Bring everything to a stop. That will get President musk and friends to listen. This is what would happen in most countries. How do we get this done?

This time around, don't allow carnie barker Donald Trump to use attention seeking gimmicks about, say, Greenland, the Panama Canal, or the Gulf of Mexico, to distract from the absence of any real plans to help Americans.

Are the democrats figuring out leadership? We need it! But I’m really hard pressed to name who it would be. Anyone know the winning (not self righteous) path forward?

His altruism and generosity was incredibly uplifting. I wish him a blessed journey to the land of beautiful souls. I see you President Carter — I celebrate your wonderful life.

President Jimmy Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin shake hands on the White House lawn after signing the Egypt-Israel peace treaty, March 26, 1979.

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights. Read about his lasting legacy.

Let’s keep this in mind, devout Christian Speaker Johnson tried to keep the house from releasing this report because he wanted Gaetz to be attorney general. Typical

The hatred and intolerance of the pre Mump Presidency period is horrifying. I can’t believe (yet I do) that MAGAts supported their bid.

Oh the shade!

People thought they were voting for cheaper gas.

Congress should ask Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearings why she failed to bring statutory rape charges against Matt Gaetz.

Do it for Cricket! Click below to send your letters to your Senators, telling them to oppose Kristi Noem! It only takes a minute! Noem should never be in charge any dogs, let alone the nearly 3,000 dogs in DHS.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

When a lead from the Biden-Harris cybersecurity department expert is dramatically urging a forensic audit, you cannot say this is a conspiracy theory! Every citizen should be demanding this and if not, why aren't you? #DemVoice1 #forensicrecount2024

Anyone else find it strange that nobody is talking about cats and dogs being eaten by Haitian immigrants in Springfield any more? It's almost as if it NEVER happened. 😡

In 2019, the relatively unknown Pete Buttigieg entered the Democratic presidential primary. When he proved competitive, others rushed to define him. Time to put old talking points aside and update with his accomplishments at USDOT. Here's one example. #TeamPete www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Henry’s naturalization ceremony is today. Grateful his letter is signed by President Biden. #newUScitizen

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson announces that male Republicans neutered by Donald Trump may continue to use the men's bathrooms.

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Finally able to deactivate my X account! Somehow MFA had been added to it so I couldn’t. After several days customer service let me know I could finally dump the account! Felt great! RIP Twitter account 2007-2024….

Holy shit he appointed some guy he saw on television to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This is why we're the laughing stock of the world right now.

Walmart and Lowes are now saying that Donald Trump's tariffs will increase costs on Americans, but House Republicans are more focused on bullying Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride. Let that sink in. They do not care about lowering costs.

not a landslide

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.” A no less vital admonition that deserves attn: STAND OUT “...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
