Remember this ad from 2012? Some things never change, and some only get worse. Trump and the MAGAs lied when they said they wouldn't touch Americans’ Medicaid. The billionaires need him to slash $880 billion to fund their $4.5 trillion tax cuts. You know what I say to that? DON’T CUT MY MEDICAID!

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

“It’s what President Trump has asked for." Republicans are gearing up to adopt a budget that would statutorily increase the debt. But they say that’s fine as long as it’s for tax cuts.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Elon Musk’s claim of Social Security fraud is…a fraud. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I trust President Zelenskyy over the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who is world renowned for lying all day, everyday. A lying piece of rancid sewage. Fuck Convicted Felon Donald Trump. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

New ICE data shows Trump isn't just arresting criminals. The number of detainees *without* a criminal conviction or pending criminal charges increased by more than 1,800 in the first two weeks of Feb. — representing 41% of the total new detainees just in that period. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

I hate almost everything these Republicans stand for, but I will support any efforts from any quarter to push back against the Musk administration

Seems bad…

"The benign influence of good laws under a free government... the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors and dangers." Washington’s words 229 years ago, a reminder of how far we are falling short of his vision. And how vital it is that we defend the cherished work of our founders.

We agree.

Be horror-stricken Trump used the same Bonaparte quote as a right-wing mass muderer: The 32-year-old Norwegian considered himself a deep thinker and a big fan of the rightwing and Russian propaganda which argued western civilization was rotting from within because of multiculturalism, empowered…

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

"AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK!" ―Malcolm Nance. Everyone should listen to @malcolmnance.bsky.social! This is a message for Democrats, and especially @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social The way Malcolm is talking is the way *YOU* should be talking! AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK!

Reminder for today: The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering the event, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

An important point to keep in mind.

Non-zero chance Trump, Musk and Putin are now in an open alliance to destroy the democracies of the West. We need to be talking about it more. bsky.app/profile/simo...
