Hey Democratic Party, You ain’t raising money until you start raising hell. Sincerely, A Huge Portion of Your Supporters

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer who oversaw the Biden campaign’s successful efforts to beat back lawsuits filed by allies of Mr. Trump seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss, is sharply critical of Republicans who say they acquiesce to Mr. Trump out of fear.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I don’t even think the “Trump is putin’s puppet” here is the best frame because it undersells what is clearly what they each want: they are currently engaged in a partnership with each trying to carve up the victim invaded country for what each of them wants It’s barbaric, its jointly imperialistic

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Melissa Harris-Perry. Tiffany Cross. Alex Wagner. Joy Reid. I'm sure there's a pattern here but I can't quite put my finger on what it could be. (/s)

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

To be clear, corrupt pendejo Marco Rubio sitting down with dictator Putin’s pets aren’t called peace negotiations, that’s called negotiating with terrorists and Rubio is once again a useless idiot.

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Under no circumstances should Democrats work with Republicans for the next two years. This might be a hot take and a Valentine's Dinner solo with bourbon take. But F them. They don't give a damn about democracy or the constitution. So figure this shit out alone. DO NOT HELP THEM. PERIOD

Nailed it…

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought. Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges. I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…

This feels true to me.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Why are people STILL eating chicken AND eggs with the Avian (bird) flu going around. People are worried about the cost of eggs and don't care if they pay with their life. This administration wants people either sick, poor, hungry, uneducated, 3 or 4 of the above OR dead. Pay attention!

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

It warms my heart that the team who won't visit the White House beat the team who kissed his ass.

Question: With uncertainty at US govt agencies such as USDA and FDA- as well the valid concern over Avian flu virus- why are people still eating chicken BUT more importantly, why in the hell are you still buying and eating eggs???? #MakeItMakeSense #ChickenOrTheEgg

Having Samuel L Jackson narrate as Uncle Sam was pure genius. I just absolutely love intelligent storytellers and that is exactly what Kendrick is.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.
