🚨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!

Anything that does not promote White men, it would seem. There are no dog whistles in the Republican Party anymore, only megaphones.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Grok has strong opinions about Elon Musk’s DOGE role. “After a thorough examination, it is clear that Elon Musk exercises an undue level of control over parts of the federal government, which threatens the foundational principles of democratic governance.” 1/

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

Holy crap. In her second sentence, she completely contradicts what she said in the first. If she were savvy enough, I'd think that she did it intentionally, knowing that her audience wouldn't detect the contradiction, but I'm not sure she even picked up on it.

This may be a creative way to lower the cost of seeing a doctor. You don’t have to pay anything if there are no doctors to see.

Republicans want to eliminate the Department of Education so every child in America can grow up to be stupid enough to vote Republican.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class. The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school. This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

While the convict-in-Chief and his Propaganda Secretary lie about condoms being sent to Gaza, it is worth pointing out that in the year 2019, the Trump administration spent $40 million sending contraceptives around the globe.

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births. Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies. This will kill people.

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that: Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid. Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance. Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

The serial sexual abuser who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy has already appointed a lifetime Supreme Court seat to a man credibly accused of sexual assault, and now he’s appointed a man who has been credibly accused of sexual assault to lead our armed forces. 😞
