Overthrow the Nazis #25Amendment

Share if you agree! Rep. McGovern: "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

🚨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!

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Without friends

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

No notes

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

The only problem I see with this is that no one decent should be on X. You enable it by being there.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

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!!!

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

European Parliament member 👇🏽

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Dear MAGA, Next time you cash your SS or disability check, thank an undocumented immigrant. They paid $25B into SS last year, keeping it afloat. Deport them all? The fund loses $13B a year. They pay in, take nothing out, and help keep costs down. Now go hug an undocumented immigrant. Thank you.

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

They have played a large part in destroying Democracy in the USA as well as other places. I would happily see them destroy themselves.

There is a lot to unpack in this very clear statement by Kallas. It is clear and always was clear, that if Ukraine does not get a deal that Ukraine is satisfied with, the war continues until Russia is destroyed. Also note that she stated how this will be possible. 1/5

NEW YORK (AP) — New York's governor refuses extradition request for doctor charged with prescribing abortion pills to Louisiana minor.

NYT: Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

She's not wrong......

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

Trust me, bro.

Protest mass deportation (and everything else) Sunday! February 9th @10am 1630 E Chapman Ave Orange, CA See you there ✌️ #3E #orangeca #ocprotests #orangecounty #irvine #tustin #anaheim #protest

Among the countless revolting things tRump has done, firing Justice Department lawyers working on criminal cases against him stands out. This act of desperation reveals his relentless pursuit of self-preservation at any cost. www.unilad.com/news/politic...

Interesting. 😏
