“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

Thousands at the Lincoln memorial standing up for Ukraine, proving Trump doesn't speak for all the US with his treason. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

I’m locked in on this fight, no matter what these Republican clowns throw my way. This isn’t about me—it’s about us. We’ve been through too much, shoot, our grandparents went through too much to lay down now. I’m *not* going to see their sacrifice wasted. BRING IT!

Starting to think the right’s mEmE KiNg WhO LeGaLiZeD CoMedY is actually just a whiny little bitch with a fragile ego.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Always stand up to a bully

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Ok so he’s a “special” government employee? Just in case someone out there still thinks this weirdo should have access to sensitive information. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇😂🤣😂😃

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-...

"While Elon Musk and his underlings demand budget cuts and layoffs across the federal government, funding for their agency- the Department of Government Efficiency — has soared to nearly $40 million.." www.propublica.org/article/doge...

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.

"Mr. Speaker, the reason 43 states have constitutional or statutory single subject rules for policy legislation, initiatives, and referendum is because voting on completely different subjects at the same time is a moronic way to govern and an invitation to political..." youtu.be/DF5FYqiP-bg?...

Shout-out to @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social for the gift of saving my sanity yesterday. I'll be blasting this everyday in preparation for my 5 calls a day to reps. "Now that we're a part of a Nigerian prince scam. Surprise surprise, it ended up being a white man." 😂☠️ youtu.be/PuWVgVkMiHE?...

Another shoe drops. The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration resigned after DOGE sought access to highly sensitive recipient information. Trump & Musk’s effort to steal your data and gut your hard-earned benefits continues. While the GOP remains silent.

We have witnessed a dramatic rise in anti-trans rhetoric, fueled by misinformation and fearmongering. Please remember that healthcare saves lives, for all of us, and for trans people too.

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

“The fix was in” — Capitol Hill Press corps member Sam Stockard picks apart @GovBillLee’s private school voucher scam👇🏽 A) He’s 100% right. B) Why does he get to have an opinion, but we are unanimously kept out of the press corps for ours?🤷🏻 tennesseelookout.com/2025/02/14/s...

That’s how you write a headline, people.

“A walking conflict of interest… $20 Billion in 🇺🇸 government contracts…” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

TX Gov. Abbott used razor wire, endangering migrants crossing the Rio Grande, illegally transporting immigrants to "Blue States" as a stunt. Heartbreaking use of immigrants as pawns in his cruel game. Oppose mass deportations & inhumane policies. http://dlvr.it/TJ46R8

3 hours of Russia schooling the US delegation in Saudi Arabia led to this EU will not be at the upcoming negotiations on Ukraine. Its role is excluded - Ru Foreign Ministry “If Europe wants to contribute to the establishment of peace in Ukraine, it is necessary to stop arms supplies to Kyiv.”

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

I ran for the State House in 2022. I knocked a lot of rural doors. Folks would listen to me, often agree with me on most issues, and then find out I was running as a Democrat. I can't count the number of people who said they couldn't vote for a Democrat because they were Christian.

when i wrote about @aoc.bsky.social for @dailykos.com yesterday i fact checked her pamphlet about rights by citing *checks notes* the fourth amendment of the constitution. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Can you imagine thinking a government employee making 40K processing Medicaid payments to a parent with medically fragile children is the enemy, while thinking a billionaire who sends his sperm to random women and takes billions from the government to go to Mars is the good guy? WTF.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

🚨OH HELL NO! ‘DOGE appears to have busted their way into the Social Security Administration, forcing the resignation of the acting commissioner, Michelle King, when she resisted their demands to give DOGE access to Agency’s most sensitive government records’. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...
