General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️ #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

This is great advice www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2PHcVed/

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Initial jobless claims rose by 5,000 from the previous week to 219,000 for the week ending February 15th, ahead of market expectations of 215,000. The Trump jobs market tank begins.

Community health centers. Nursing homes. Local hospitals. All get assistance thru Medicaid. Bernie Sanders lay out exactly what's at stake if Republicans gut Medicaid. Call your senators and rep! Use 5 Calls!!! #DontCutMyMedicaid

A Jan. 6 defendant from North Carolina, pleaded not guilty to federal charges of "Production of Child Pornography" and "Possession of Child Pornography," & Trump & his administration wanna pardon this guy? WTF, America! Did you vote for that, MAGA? whyy.org/articles/don...

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

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.

Talking biographies! Plus a YO!

We aren’t all farmers…

AOC and a few others are taking this moment—this coup—deadly seriously. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Elizabeth Warren have risen to the occasion to not just resist legislatively in the near-powerless minority—they have answered the call to FIGHT—to LEAD a mass movement to shut fascists the fuck down.

Rep Amos is on FIRE about the GOP Tax Scam. "This is a betrayal. Full stop. This is not some social policy experiment. Real people will suffer. It is a betrayal of our seniors. It's a betrayal of our families. It is a betrayal of the middle class." #Don't Cut My Medicaid

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

This is how it’s done.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

It’s 5 p.m. on Friday, which means it’s time to ask WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DOGE????????????????????????

How does destroying the postal service make America great?

Yes! Georgia!

If he really wanted to stop the war he 100 could. Fully back Zelensky. Not this weak kowtowing to Putin

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

A must watch moment: Republican Sen Tom Tillis shows he may have a spine after all. I know it’s hard to believe, but he actually calls out Putin 👀 Thanks to @reallyamerican.bsky.social

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

As the child of two immigrants who came here seeking a better life (and one whose own parents brought her here as a baby to escape imminent danger) I take this demonization of and terrorism against immigrants personally.

“Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking & inhumane. The proposal by Washington politicians to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane & immoral.” Senator Warnock, this #CupOfJoe is for you. Thank you for speaking truth.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Still Nazis

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Republicans are weaponizing the language of care to strip away rights, reshape the state, and remake Utah in the image of their authoritarian vision. That's why we were formed. We are going to turn Utah blue, one vote at a time. Are you with us?
