President Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/3oq1fmSh

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Jonathan Harris's "Critical Race Theory" more relevant than ever.

I'm only surprised this tactic hasn't been the norm for a long time now.

Brilliant form of activism. Listen to this smackdown. 😊 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart. Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

Nooo no no no no no no no!!!!

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs for working people. Yet last night, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage to deliver huge tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of everyone else. It's the Great Betrayal and the American people won't stand for it.

It's genuinely unfortunate that Republicans didn't show up to hear the concerns of Wisconsin farmers who are very worried about what Trump & Elon cutting their federal funding & contracts could mean for their livelihoods and the future of their family farms.

People are hurting. Democrats and Republicans. These people are sick and immoral.

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

The Republican war on health care is alive & well. By the time they're done, we won't be. Republicans have 1 goal: rip away coverage for millions to provide tax breaks for their billionaire friends. Call me crazy, but I'd rather invest in the American people. #DontCutMyMedicaid

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

Fascists use lies as a weapon to switch the roles of victim and attacker. Hitler blamed Poland for being invaded by Germany. Putin blamed Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. Trump is repeating Putin's fascist lies. If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.

Breaking — The Social Security Administration is dissolving its Office of Analytics Review and Oversight effective 2pm today, an agency source tells me. In a meeting leadership claimed it was part of government-wide mission to “align missions better” & said it was the first of many changes to come.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

Another massive scoop from @marisakabas.bsky.social on how Musk’s DOGE squad now has a middle-manager with a questionable background (to be charitable) who was about to be put on administrative leave this time last week - in charge of social security administration.

"...he proudly admits to violating multiple agency protocols and ethical standards in service of Musk’s SSA team" www.thehandbasket.co/p/leland-dud...
