People really DO NOT know. So many people thanked me for the handouts I shared today. Even less people know about the post office stuff.

That Trump and Musk should show such little regard for *mental-health* care is … at once ironic yet unsurprising.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

Vladimir Putin wants Donald Trump to believe that they have bigger fish to fry than Ukraine. All this is a fantasy designed to tempt America’s president into giving Russia’s leader what he wants in return for empty promises. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

I’m tellin ya. It’s AOC. 34,000 people today in Denver.

Judge Reyes exploded at a DOJ lawyer in a hearing on Trump's transgender troops ban: "I am not going to abide by government officials saying one thing to the public - saying what they really mean to the public - and coming in here to the court and telling me something different like I'm an idiot."

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember. This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall. They should all be counting their days in office.

JUST IN: Judge Hollander has issued a *second* letter today warning Social Security acting commissioner Dudek not to shut down all operations over her order barring DOGE's access to sensitive systems. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Germany, and now the UK have issued beefed up warnings for travel to the US. Just think of the impact on tourism this summer. The con man is further hurting our economy! www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency. Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

I think this was from Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf.

A review of Quinnipiac University’s annual first-quarter congressional polling reveals that, for the first time in the poll’s history, congressional Democrats are now underwater with their own voters in approval ratings. Democrats believe their leaders are not engaged in serious opposition.

JUST IN: Trump pulls security clearances of more political/legal adversaries — some of these were previously known but new list includes: -Kamala Harris -Liz Cheney -Joe Biden + Biden family -Fiona Hill

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

"My cars are wildly unpopular right now! What is the one spokesperson I could pick to make them look even less cool?"

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

You don’t need to leak false information. If it is false, you are just making it up. So either it is a leak of truthful information or it is someone making something up.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

Bondi still working on those “national security redactions” in the Epstein files?

I just hope the plan in the Senate on the CR isn’t to create the illusion of resistance in an attempt to placate the base before an inevitable surrender. Choose a lane, explain the lane clearly, don’t try and fool us.

It's not hard. This is unacceptable. They won't stop at him.

I try to explain here what's happening. A bit of choreography to allow Senate Dems to fold without seeming to fold. They give up the 60 vote threshold and that's the end of the story. See below and the separate piece by TPM hill reporter @emineirmakyucel.bsky.social who gives more in depth detail.

Trump plans to fire 65% of EPA employees, which mean the loss of nearly 10,000 jobs, which would devastate the agency responsible for clean air and clean water. Remember in November!

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

This is AMAZING news! Fuck Amazon www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Sen. Schatz at 1:45am in Congress... Senator Patty Murray ‪@murray.senate.gov‬ I just came off the floor after speaking for an hour. I refuse to let Republicans confirm Russ Vought the easy way, so we're holding the floor through the night for 30 straight hours.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...
