RIP to one of the greats

BREAKING: Two sources tell @theprospect.bsky.social that the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration has asked for a plan for cuts to 50% of the workforce, including at the 1,200 field offices that serve millions of beneficiaries. prospect.org/health/socia...

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Who is the leader of the Democratic party? Serious question.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 The acting Social Security commissioner has left the agency after a clash over providing DOGE access to sensitive data It follows our reporting that DOGE is seeking access to personal financial data at the IRS for every taxpayer, business and nonprofit.

The Putin/Trump/Musk fascists hire only fellow kleptocrats who simply MUST control all money, though it is entirely the responsibility of Congress, NOT TRUMP, NOT NOEM nor ANY other Trump cronies.. This SEPARATION OF POWERS We the People must DEMAND HONORED in order to save our Democratic Republic.

Republican Senators just voted to confirm RFK Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services - a man that believes Black Americans should receive a different vaccine schedule than White Americans. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

Ugh

This isn't twitter so you don't need to do the "gotcha" thing for the algorithm, just post about the actions you are taking in your community or to resist. Be the person you want to see in your democracy.

"You are not the president and you need to go away.”

Trump and Musk's (DOGE) funding cuts are crippling global efforts to combat child rape networks & human trafficking. Critical programs supported by USAID & the State Department are being shut down—leaving vulnerable children without protection from organized crime. #OpDeathEaters

End impunity End autogenocide End oligarchy #3E

An underrated virtue of all other presidents was that you could forget about them for weeks at a time

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

This one’s for the whole world. Go to your App Store. Leave Google maps a one star review. Feel free to leave other Google products a one star review as well. Reason: ignorance of geography and colonialist sympathies. #3E

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

Anyone else super exhausted

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

"Riviera of the Middle East." He's despicable.

Who else agrees with Jamie Raskin? 💙 🔥 ✅

"Stop the Coup!" Scene at Treasury.

REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation? TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

Please go supervise @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Please senator, do something about it. Surely you and your staff can go and see what they're doing. Send a #&"$+ delegation. @warren.senate.gov

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Today in LA. I ❤️ my town.

The United States is under attack. Apparently it takes a wildfire or plane crash to get the immediate attention of MSNBC, CNN, and the rest. Last night, CNN ran a documentary about Kobe Bryant.

I agree with this 💯%! How about you? ✋

Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

Such a cool photo of ice slabs piling up at Sandy Point Beach along the Chesapeake Bay. Taken by Sherri Sosslau. More interesting photos of ice on area waterways at cwg.live

It was a pretty awesome sunrise in the DC as the fiery sun cast an orange and yellow glow over area waterways. Kevin Ambrose captured this image. See more photos at cwg.live
