Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

$400 million "palace in the sky" private jets for him. No toys for you.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

I made this my laptop screensaver. It makes me smile. Like Cory Booker says "good trouble!"

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances. The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace. At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight For the people that is!

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?

THIS. #HandsOff

Have a friend who’s a financial advisor tell me middle class is majority so they can be taxed more. WHAT? Maybe when wealth was distributed in a bell shaped curve. Tax the highest 1% THEIR FAIR SHARE…..

Attention White House: Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

Duckworth: "Hegseth is the most unqualified sec def in history & this is further demonstrating his incompetence. He's literally leaking classified war plans via group chat...if you're our allies, I'd be thinking twice about sharing classified information...All these people need to lose their jobs"

Stacey Plaskett: "In December of 2023, many people made Secretary Lloyd Austin go through the stages of the cross in self-flagellation and mea culpas for not informing the president that he was having a surgery, and now how we are treating Secretary Hegseth as if he is untouchable." Spot on!

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Imagine caring more about the stock market than people, only to tank the stock market because of you fucked over the people.

Hey Democratic Party, You ain’t raising money until you start raising hell. Sincerely, A Huge Portion of Your Supporters

This is all too accurate. WAKE UP AMERICA‼️

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme." Un-fucking-real.

Thou shalt not claim to be improving efficiency when all you do is fire people and then beg them to come back.

Exactly this.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

First they came for the federal employees, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a federal employee ... You know the rest of the poem. Act accordingly.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!
