Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

Will their voters ever wake up to the fact that the GOP isn’t out to help them?

KFC moving to Texas? Guess the secret blend of 11 herbs & spices is just greed. Less worker protections, weaker food oversight, and lower wages—great for execs, bad for everyone else. Support local spots instead. Texas Fried Chicken, anyone?

Bluesky was supposed to be the new hope, yet we’re stuck chasing follower counts like it’s still 2010. Why can’t we just value content for what it is? No creator fund, no algorithm games—just ideas, connections, and conversation. Let’s normalize thriving without a million followers. #PostForYou

"The administration's stance is that by electing him president, the country gave Trump total authority to do anything he’d like. But that justification renders Congress superfluous. Why go through the charade of making policy and negotiating budgets if POTUS can just ignore laws when he wants to?"

Let’s just be very clear before this gets more insane: We should not be involved in occupying or “owning” Gaza.

"If Trump proceeds in open defiance of the courts he'll risk turning the huge asset of a politicized SCOTUS into a liability. More importantly, Trump may call into question the legitimacy of his own authority — legitimacy SCOTUS lent him through rulings it bent over backward to issue in his favor."

And over 10M for his trips to FL in the last three weeks. Glad DOGE is cutting all those funds to help DJT pay for his travel.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

I've been waiting for someone to make this point as clearly as @pbump.com did last week: The entire Federal law enforcement apparatus is a part of the Executive Branch. All of it. So if they don't want to enforce a judge's rulings, or, for that matter, the law... then who? wapo.st/3CKnHsI

I’m not a scientist, but with five plane crashes and three plane touches in the past three weeks, I have to believe that DEI was the only thing keeping airplanes safe. Maybe we should bring it back?

How many more plane accidents will there be during this term? This administration should be held accountable.

Jeffries on GOP "bait & switch": "Part 1, talk about lowering the high cost of living but do nothing about it. Part 2, enact massive tax cuts for billionaires that will do nothing to improve the quality of life of everyday Americans. Part 3, stick working Americans with the bill for those tax cuts"

Those weren't just words last night. Today, we're launching the Payback Project to hold Susan Collins (ME), Thom Tillis (NC), Dan Sullivan (AK), Jon Husted (OH), Joni Ernst (IA) accountable for enabling the Trump-Musk coup. indivisibleteam.medium.com/they-ignored...

Trump and the GOP are counting on Democrats to play by the old rules while they bulldoze democracy. But the real power of the Senate isn’t just in votes — it’s in procedural warfare: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Musk & Trump have no qualms about firing tens of thousands of dedicated civil servants, but a DOGE staffer who RECENTLY tweeted tons of racist stuff including, literally, “I was racist before it was cool”? He's a retention priority. www.aol.com/bring-him-ba...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
