FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Sign an agreement with EU

Again it's women who will mobilize

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

I'm just saying...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

Same West Virginia that voted for Trump

Many are veterans

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

But probably voted for Trump because of DEI

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

START PUSHING BACK

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

I guess we'll ALL find out when unemployment jumps and affects everyone dependent on those salaries

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

When we say we believe in organizing everywhere, we mean it. That's why we have one of the largest rural footprints of any national grassroots network. Join our Rural Caucus kickoff call to learn how you can take the fight against Trump, Musk, and MAGA to your own backyard. www.mobilize.us/indi...

Americans have not had to REALLY PROTEST since the 60's AND IT F**KING SHOWS

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

New Yorkers could have voted for a competent woman of color but.....

And Hakeem Jeffries is on a book tour

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

DO BOTH

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

“No kings, no tyrants.” Thanks @chriswarcraft.bsky.social for using your powers for good.

Honestly, I'd love to see other House Dems devote some of their floor time just to calling Musk a dick, over and over and over again. It'll highlight the Trump effort to crack down on protected speech, emasculate Ed Martin and completely enrage Elon Musk.
