Damn @sanders.senate.gov. Just when I compliment you, I looked for info on the event. NONE HERE. But multiple posts on X. WTF. You obviously don’t care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Sounds likely

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.

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

Exasperating and true

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.

Truth

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

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Yikes 😳

I vote for 200

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

@sanders.senate.gov: "You're looking at enormous power & wealth in the hands of a small number of people who could care less about working class people... They suffer from the addiction of greed. You got $50 billion? Ain't enough. We got to cut SS so I can get a tax break and maybe get $55 billion."

Captures it perfectly.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

So true

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

This is the way… Thousands of Democrats are flooding town halls around the country, making their voices heard and demanding their senators and reps to do more, to fight harder against Trump and Musk! Don’t let up—it’s working.

I’m exhausted from the turmoil

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Slightly hopeful

BREAKING - Elon Musk slated to win $400 MILLION govt contract to make "armored Tesla" -- after $38 MILLION SpaceX contract yesterday Musk's plan: -- Shut down parts of the govt investigating him -- Claim that he's stopping government spending -- Give himself all the money

True

Waste

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2. In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

Trust me, bro.

NPR's findings show that January 6 rioters pardoned by tRump include a disturbing number of individuals with serious criminal backgrounds. These pardoned criminals have been convicted of rape, child abuse, domestic violence, and drug trafficking. #tRumpsMoralBankruptcy www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

This is supremely fucked up. I mean, I read about this earlier, but to see it in writing is devastating.

Ohhh! I forgot to share with y'all due to all that BS with that insurrectionists heckling me, A VIDEO MESSAGE WITH MS.SICKNICK! Never will we forget or let them erase January 6th

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!
