Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

He nails it.

Another good piece on coalition building (complete with a list of groups likely to have voterā€™s remorse). Letā€™s come together for this common cause. Also, the caption in the first photos in the article šŸ¤£ www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

This. All of this. Pls take time to watch @adamkinzinger.bsky.socialā€™s message. This is the time for coalition building & taking small individual actions that lead to BIG collective impacts. Letā€™s be loud. Letā€™s stay focused. Letā€™s take care of ourselves. Letā€™s be courageous. Letā€™s win! Letā€™s go!

@piperformissouri.bsky.social is spot on. I think thatā€™s why so many people feel left behind and have been vulnerable to the lies and scapegoating (pitting people against one another) coming from the other side. Letā€™s make sure to connect with ALL rural and small town folks - not stereotype them.

Iā€™m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. Itā€™s time to take the gloves off.

ā€œYou okay?ā€¦Youā€™re being too loud. You need to calm down.ā€ Relax, dude. Yelling doesnā€™t turn lies into truth. And that outfit - perfect for his whole šŸ’© vibe.

Good little explainer on DOGE and rebuttal to the maga talking points. Supporting DOGE is the equivalent of trusting someone w addiction to decide how to manage the family budget - you know theyā€™re gonna skip paying the mortgage to fund their habitā€¦& probably ask you to get a second job too.

@raskin.house.gov: "The most glaring conflict of interest of all is that Elon is a government contractor himself, who collects billions of dollars from the US government... And like all authoritarian and fascist movements around the world in history, corruption is at the heart of it."

A true leader does this šŸ‘‡rather than appear at @NASCAR news.caloes.ca.gov/governor-new...

but this is good.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

An important point to keep in mind.

wild to see all the Trump supporters asking for Elon/Trump to cut them a break personally Itā€™s ā€œweā€™re in this togetherā€ vs. ā€œme me meā€

Another lie šŸ¤„

SNL 50, White Lotus, John Oliver. I know what Iā€™m doing tonight.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for ā€œrestoring aviation safetyā€

We cannot support the state of hunting today. Once, long ago, hunting was how people fed themselves. today subsistence hunting has been largely replaced with thrill killing. With only 4% of mammals being wildlife, it's time to give them a break and end the pretenses of hunting as conservation.

@davidhogg.bsky.social @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social how do you get in touch with someone in the Dem party if you have some ideas to share? Thx!

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

ā€œElon Muskā€™s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new websiteā€ www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. Thatā€™s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You canā€™t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

I think we should have an organized effort to welcome in the folks who are having voters remorse. We obviously have differences, but letā€™s set them aside in this critical moment & focus on the opportunity to unite in our common goal to stop this attack on all of us. Solidarity is our biggest weaponšŸ’œ

Itā€™s another Katie Phang Live tomorrow (Friday) at 1:15 pm ET! We will talk about the SAVE Act and how itā€™s not saving your vote.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with people?

Weā€™re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of ā€œThe Jim Acosta Show.ā€

I am fresh out of smart ass statements. Iā€™ll just shareā€¦

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

A good watch. Scary how our social footprint can be so revealing (also recommend watching The Social Dilemma). And a good reminder not to ignore other sources of ā€˜informationā€™ like AM radio and podcasts when combatting dis and misinformation.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but President Biden is NOT in the White House any more... the three-ring shit show America is witnessing now is 100 percent the result of putting a fucking convicted felon CLOWN and his cowardly cohorts in the White House. trumpflation is UP!

We need to treat ourselves during these trying times and I just did with some @benandjerrys.bsky.social ice cream. So good. Their non-dairy is delicious. Highly recommend.

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots womenā€™s backs,,, the world is watching šŸ‘€

Well, this is great. Not. Brian Nesvik, former Director of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, has been nominated to be the Director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. During his time at WYGFD, Nesvik failed to take strong action against the man who ran down a female wolf with a snowmobile.

šŸ‘€

No lie detectedā€¦

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Elon Musk to reporter: ā€œWe post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I donā€™t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.ā€ Hereā€™s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. Itā€™s literally a blank page!

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Cut up those plastic rings (if you have to have them at all).

Looking for a way to nourish your mental health so you can stay in the fight? May I recommend the #puppybowl? The fluffy cuteness will give you the boost of dopamine you need and deserve. šŸ¶šŸ„£
