Good Sunday morning Wishing you a day of unexpected surprises and positive connections...

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

DESTROY NAZIS

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Shoutout to the dozens of Montana Indivisibles who didn’t let the weather stop them from demanding answers from their GOP representative! This congressional recess is almost over, but you can still help turn up the heat on your representative to stop the Trump-Musk coup: indivisible.org/muskorus

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

The more I look around at what people are posting, it seems like the thing that might pierce the MAGA armor is asking them to document the waste and fraud DOGE is uncovering. They're likely to respond with deflections. Hold them to the receipts. What, when, how much? Don't let them off the hook.

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Nelson update: He is cute. That is all. #cats #catsofbluesky #lordnelson

I Build. I Serve. I am. YouthBuild Boston is the perfect example of how lives can be changed when we empower & support our young folks’ access to vocational industries. They're able to foster teamwork, build community & successfully enter the workforce upon graduation.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

He nails it.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Good Saturday morning Wishing you a peaceful and pleasant day...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

McConnell Retires: “My Work Destroying this Country is Done” open.substack.com/pub/borowitz... Satire or blunt reality ?

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The Trump/GOP “Big Beautiful Bill" in question: — Cuts to Medicaid, which will rip health care away — Cuts to SNAP, which will strain food assistance — Gives more $$$ to billionaires like Elon We need 3 House Republicans to stop this disastrous bill.

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

I'm taking legal action to fight the Trump administration's efforts to gut the CFPB.   The CFPB protects Americans and ensures companies are following our consumer protection laws.   Eliminating it will hurt everyday people and benefit bad actors and billionaires like Elon Musk.

Kash Patel's "enemies list" includes Republicans. He's the new head of the FBI thanks to Republicans who voted to confirm him. Destroying yourself to own the libs. Good luck.

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!
