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.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

Donald Trump is threatening the President of a sovereign country—AGAIN—to force Ukraine to hand over their democracy and sovereign territory to Vladimir Putin. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

🚨BREAKING: Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, was ousted after denying Elon Musk access to “sensitive files,” the Washington Post reports This. Is. Insane.

A group of unqualified, unelected bureaucrats, including a teenager with alleged links to hacker groups, is now seeking access to the personal identifying information of every U.S. taxpayer. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Zelenskyy Rejects U.S.-Russia Deal Without Ukraine Zelenskyy insists: “I will never accept any decisions between the U.S. and Russia about Ukraine.” Yet Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg dismisses Europe, and Trump demands Ukraine trade rare earth minerals for U.S. aid. Is this about peace—or control?

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

He's lost 2 recounts and multiple court battles/appeals. It's almost like he's attempting to subvert a valid and secure election. This prick needs to go down. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services. We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

There has never been a better time to go out of your way to make an extra effort to shop at family-owned small businesses buying local products whenever possible, avoiding chains, online behemoths, and big corporations whenever you are able.

Tax season’s here! Did you know you can file for FREE with Direct File? Created by the Biden-Harris Administration, this program lets eligible Americans file online directly with the IRS. No fees, no stress. Get on it! directfile.irs.gov

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust by the forces of hate and bigotry. Now more than ever, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. #NeverAgain

"The reason is actually the most alarming part." Former Inspector General Mike Ware shares how and why he was abruptly fired by President Trump last Friday as well as his concerns for the government. WATCH the full interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKA7...

Donald Trump gave us a bunch of broken promises—oh, sorry, I mean lies—and now we’re all stuck paying for it. Rule of law is being TRAMPLED, families are being TORN APART, and it's only been a WEEK. Is there a grade lower than an F?

Trump is playing right into China's hands.

Senate Judiciary Dems tweet saying: "Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI Director, shared an AI-generated video of himself chainsawing Members of Congress, political opponents, and media outlets. Dangerous and disqualified."

So interesting that adolescent black boys are perceived as hardened adults but a rich white man who uses his wealth to influence politics around the world and is eligible for AARP benefits gets infantilized as just a little silly goose. You don’t know how much this shit right here pissed me off:

The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy and puts the safety of every American at risk. This reckless move must be reversed, and my colleagues and I demand that he comply with the law, no excuses.

Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24. Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29. Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39. Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

So much class

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

A proposed amendment to let Trump seek a third term, while excluding Obama, exposes the GOP’s blatant double standards. This move isn’t about democracy—it’s about reshaping laws to serve one man’s ambitions, undermining fairness, unity, and the principles of leadership.

Check out these peaceful protesters on the day of love!

"He issued a total pardon to a guy who was convicted of facilitating the sale of an estimated $200 million of illegal drugs and illicit goods." @chrislhayes.bsky.social on how Trump's pardon of Ross Ulbricht shouldn't fly under the radar. READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

@stephruhle.bsky.social just listening to your conversation with Tim Miller. I know you have a lot of experience on this, but I think the media tries too hard to make excuses for why these people get behind Trump. They are afraid of him. They are all worth billions in spite o DEI programs.

Making a ridiculous post about tariffs on Truth Social was his secret plan to end the war in 24 hours? What a ridiculous clown show. Idiocracy.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

If Republican senators confirm Hegseth they own him. And his history suggests that will be a costly purchase indeed.

Conservative columnist George Will: “Donald Trump does not deal in felicities. His second inaugural will be remembered for being worse than 59 others, including his first (about “stealing,” “ravages” and “carnage”). It was memorable for its staggering inappropriateness.”

Juan Ortega just posted this photo of Kamala Harris & Doug Emhoff with their all-female flight crew today.

Pope Francis calls Trump’s deportation plans a ‘disgrace,’ highlighting how they punish the most vulnerable instead of addressing root causes. This isn’t about justice—it’s a scapegoating tactic to rally support. True leadership would focus on humane, systemic immigration reform.

Scripture says: “I have been young and now I’m old yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken.” After all these years serving you, the American people, I have not seen the righteous forsaken. I love you all. May you keep the faith. And may God bless you all." -President Biden ❤️❤️❤️

The are so many things/ people I’m going to miss after tomorrow, but Lina Khat at FTC is going to be at the top of my list. The sad part is I don’t think most people know what we’re losing there.

The constitution forbids leveraging public office to make money because doing so degrades public trust in the office, opens you being manipulated by foreign actors who understand your motives, and it fundamentally violates the very idea of government as an entity of service to others.

For no reason that he can articulate, Trump has triggered a crisis in Denmark www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

There's no shortage of "here's what Dems should do now" takes, but reading this piece from @dceiver.bsky.social, I found myself nodding my head quite a bit in agreement.

Over the past several months, I’ve led the charge urging President Biden to address the crack/powder cocaine sentencing disparity by commuting sentences of non-violent crack cocaine offenders. And today he delivered that justice. Thank you President Biden for your courage and leadership.

There’s a lot of confusion over Biden’s #era announcement and what it actually means—including whether action from the National Archivist is needed. One interesting take I just got is that Biden has actually usurped the archivist and given the required notice to the states himself. So it’s done.
