🚨🚨🚨 The GOP is putting healthcare at risk for more than 72 million Americans. Capitol switchboard- 202. 224.3121 Call your Republican member of Congress! #HandsOffMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid #HandsOffMedicaid

Judge Dale Ho coming through, appoints Paul Clement to argue against DOJ’s motion to dismiss the Adams case.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

People have gone to jail for less.

apnews.com/article/ukra... Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity

— 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.

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This is really something

🚨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!

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

“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.”

Certainly doesn’t look to me as though the end goal is cutting government spending… They’re looking to reroute $$$ to the oligarchs. Firstly, by funneling our tax dollars into tax cuts for the oligarchs. Secondly, by creating government contracts for the oligarchs by privatizing our services.

Biden capped insulin at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden capped inhaler at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden stopped banks from hurting you with overdraft fees -- Republicans are now undoing it Trump, Musk, and the GOP are RAISING your costs

Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.

European Parliament member 👇🏽

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.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Some clarity.

You’ll notice media is ignoring the fact that badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has literally exposed Nazi Musk’s government money grab scheme with securing nearly a billion dollars in new contracts in just 2 weeks.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Dark Pence is back.

Look closely.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), I’ll be on The View! Tune it at 11am EST to see what we are discussing!

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

This is absolutely the Twitter Files for the government. Elon wanted to humiliate his enemies. But what Twitter Files showed was generally careful governance, some bad calls, & stuff taken out of context by “journalists” who didn’t understand the basics. Same here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Tesla sales are crashing in Europe.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

“You should have never started it.” Such ignominious ignorance. Such betrayal of our ally. Such a cowardly surrender.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.
