DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

This hits hard.

Elon just sent us all an email demanding a 5-bullet progress report by EOD Monday. FEDS please hold for Altgov guidance. Meanwhile, help us draft our report: 1. Held convos without pronouns 2. Practiced Roman salute 3. Checked genitals in bathroom 4. Burned all books 5. Threw out all spoons

It’s a cult.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Love to see it!

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Amen to that.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Call today to let your Congressman know what you think about Elon Musk’s DOGE and its slash-and-burn cuts to the federal workforce and vital government programs. Leave a message if necessary. YOUR CALLS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ☎️

I'm diabetic as well, if we can't afford our insulin, We Die. It's that fucking simple. This is Government sanctioned MURDER of American people!! #LadyLibertyFightsBack Trump is terrorizing the citizens of America!!!

A whooping 83% of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent J6 rioters. EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT!!!

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Al the work that went into holding the police accountable for needlessly executing Black people is being undone. This is just the start of their revenge planning. www.axios.com/2025/02/21/d...

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

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!"

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I’m looking forward to Zelenskyy saying no to all Trump/Putin’s demands. Including the mineral wealth deal. They left him out of negotiations, as dictators too. But unlike faux strongmen, Zelenskyy is an actual strong man. 🇺🇦

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

This is your government now

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul will NOT remove Mayor Eric Adams. Add another name to the list of Gutless Cowards.

Are congrats in order in a case like this? 🤨

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

An 11-year-old girl took her own life in Texas after she was tormented for weeks by her sixth-grade classmates at Gainesville Intermediate School, who threatened to call ICE authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said. 💔 💔

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Raise your hand if you stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!
