I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Sure, the USPS has problems. But we can't give up on it I was living in Guatemala when its national postal service shut down. It's never come back, and its absence enabled massive import fraud. Everyone loses when public services close.

The reason the USPS can do what it does at a fraction of the cost of public sector competitors is because the USPS isn’t run for profit. It doesn’t have shareholders who expect dividends. It doesn’t have a CEO and too many executives to overpay so they can buy yachts. It’s run by civil servants.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Spot on.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive. 📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House. I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

The White House has banned the AP indefinitely for not using “the Gulf of America” Who is going to stand in solidarity with them? It’s time to band to gather and show your strength, news outlets. And what the hell happened to freedom of speech? Does that only apply if you’re criticizing Dems?

It should not be lost on anyone that the vaccine that prevents measles, MMR, is the one about which RFK Jr. has spread the most misinformation. The head of HHS should be out front, strongly recommending MMR vaccine in Texas right now. But RFKJ can’t without admitting he’s been lying.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Trump is gonna lose his shit when he sees this

Here’s what we did today

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

It’s insane to me that we’re just… letting non-government personnel rifle through government code. The SysAdmins have to be losing their fucking minds right now.

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

None of us voted for Elon Musk to do shit.

The FTC under Lina Khan: -Stopped anticompetitive mergers -Cracked down on junk fees -Challenged Big Pharma price-gouging -Stood up to monopolies like Amazon -Protected farmers' right to repair She's been an avid antitrust enforcer and defender of working people.

🪓MASS DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages!

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight He is truly unqualified in every way possible.
