The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

But, of course. Banks will always come before consumers as far as the repuglicons are concerned. Their motto should be "Profits before people." news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/...

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

“These stories should concern all Americans because they are our family members, neighbors and friends. No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way.” The American Bar Association speaks out. Please read and share. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

WTAF. This is not okay.

Call them want they really are: HACKERS This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit! They are boy hackers! Plain and simple This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

I used the @5calls.org app to call my Representative & Senators today. I actually spoke with very nice humans at Rep. Hill's & Sen Cotton's office - left a voicemail with Sen Bozeman. Call your people today - it is easy and it can make a difference!

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:

So now that Trump signed an Executive Order ending DEI, they can't use that as an excuse for the next 4 years, right? Right? Right? Anyone? Right?

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

All I’m saying is that if Joe Biden had fired 100 FAA employees and a plane had crashed just 24 hours later, Jesse Watters’ head would’ve exploded and Janine would have hosted an all-day wine drinking “Blame Joe” special episode.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Every single Democratic elected official at the federal, state and local level should be posting on Bluesky. Please help spread the word!! 💙🦋 #Democrat

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

Decades of research shows that expanding highways increases travel times. Some cities are reducing their highways in response.

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing… But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.

Who here agrees? 🖐🏾

The real story on Capitol Hill is the desire of GOP men to have transgender women in their bathrooms
