Republicans in Congress are about to vote to explode the deficit & cut at-home care for seniors, in order to fund tax cuts for people who don't need tax cuts. Their town halls are going to get a lot angrier after that. youtu.be/T3JI07rL9gs

Today in National Parks News The pushback from the idiotic firing of thousands of National Parks employees is having an effect. Keep calling Keep the pressure on 202 224 3121 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Actually, most people think the biggest threat to Europe right now is Trump and JD Vance

This is genius.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Disgusting

Hell, yes! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is what democracy looks like! COLUMBUS, OHIO. #NotMyPresidentDay Part 1

Moskowitz: We sent condoms and contraceptives to Mozambique in 2019 under the Trump Administration. Watters: I don’t think Trump knew about the condoms. I think there was a lot Trump didn’t really know

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

What could go wrong? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

….and another 1k employees laid off at the VA, an agency that already has a staffing problem. And the next self executed Republican led recession is right around the corner. Because that’s what they’re doing. On purpose. All that work Biden did to land us softly shot to hell in a handbasket!

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Acting AG Emil Bove tried to reassign Mayor Adams’ case to the public integrity unit at Main Justice in DC. Upon learning of this, senior DOJ officials resigned. The heroes are here.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Nailed it 🏆

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now? youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

This is not the 1st time Vance has proposed violating court orders. In 2021, he said Trump upon reelection should “fire every single mid-level bureaucrat …& when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Jackson did & say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

The President of the United States has a longer criminal record than 99% of the people he is deporting.
