Trump pollster’s finds that 59% of voters in 18 swing districts are “worried about their personal financial situation,” and that Democrats are leading in the House generic ballot matchup by five points. @gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

“America has turned on its friends…there should be no doubt that Trump’s contempt for allies and admiration for strongmen is real and will endure.” “These moments will live in infamy.” GOP politicians: Read this Financial Times editorial. Will you stay timid & just let this happen? on.ft.com/41pBkXJ

Marco Rubio is already sidelined at the Department of State. So, he'll be reduced to the diplomatic weddings-and-funerals detail. Sad! puck.news/is-steve-wit...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

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.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

We rely on USPS for medications, government services, ballots, and more. The postal service is a public good. We can’t allow it to be turned over to greedy billionaires to squeeze out profits by exploiting workers and degrading service. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump is trying to rewrite history by claiming that Russia did not start its brutal war with Ukraine. Why? To open up business opportunities in Russia for his family and friends. Trump is blatantly lying to the world to line his own pockets. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

I really want to add with this: USPS is a lifeline for small businesses and many who need it for medication, etc. across this country. This is going to be a terrible move. Let me figure out a specific call for action, but until then: KEEP. CALLING.
