WATCH Bernie Sanders lay out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. And it’s all to make the rich richer & the poor poorer. Don't Cut My Medicaid #DemVoice1

Fucking betrayal. Plain and simple.

'Fatally flawed': Legendary Iowa pollster smacks down Trump’s 'outlandish' lawsuit: Even though he had already won the 2024 election, President Donald Trump sued the Des Moines Register and celebrated political pollster J. Ann Selzer in December over a poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris…

U.S. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called Putin "a cancer&the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime: "So,when I tell that Putin is a liar,a murderer&a man responsible for ordering the systematic torture,kidnapping&rape of innocent civilians,believe me — because the evidence is mile high"

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

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

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

Old news that no one paid attention to.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon, Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

If we let them

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

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

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

Me too

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...

Margaret Brennan got it wrong. You can't blame free speech for the Holocaust. But most of the people dunking on her got it wronger: theracket.news/p/what-every...

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Trump has announced via social media post that he is ousting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown and will be replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine.

The lawmakers warn cuts "will endanger children, seniors, and at-risk communities, set medical progress back by decades, curtail patient access to care, and make the nation less prepared for emerging public health threats."

When everyone else is rushing to comply with fascism...
