"He's not standing up": Protesters want Hakeem Jeffries to lead an aggressive opposition to Trump: At a protest on Thursday, demonstrators said they were unhappy with Jeffries' leadership of Democrats in Congress

🚨🚨ANOTHER TRUMP ATTACK ON VETERANS! The Postal Service is one of the largest employers of Veterans in the country. Hundreds of thousands of Veterans rely on USPS to deliver medications, benefits, and critical information. We WILL fight this! MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A coalition of congressional Republicans from the New York area rebuked President Trump for cuts to a federal program that administers aid to emergency workers and others suffering from toxins related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Dark Pence is back.

The new HHS Secretary is a killer. His promotion of debunked studies has resulted in many deaths. He could care less. open.substack.com/pub/populari...

The Washington Post reneged on publishing this paid ad. Shame on ⁦‪@washingtonpost‬⁩

Action item: report wrong name of a location on Apple Maps!

The @postopinions.bsky.social has lost all pretense of neutrality. thehill.com/media/514849...

The NY Times described John Thune as “untested” as majority leader. Oh he’s been tested - and failed miserably in character and comportment.

BREAKING: The next WNBA expansion franchise will go to Cleveland. The team is expected to join the league as the Cleveland Rockers in 2028, reprising the name of the original WNBA team that folded in 2003.

The community note 🤌😘

Marc Short in the WSJ: the senate “is effectively neutered.” And they did it to themselves with pure lily liveredness.

Here is the truth about the economy, politics, Trump, and red states. This is not for the faint-hearted. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

SIGN: Keep ICE out of our churches >>: More than two dozen organizations and denominations just filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration's policy of allowing immigration raids at houses of worship. Let's show our support as fellow Christians now >> act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/Trump-I...

Who would've thunk that GOP-led "pro-life" laws restricting access to reproductive healthcare are actually deadly? States w/abortion bans are reporting a marked increase in infant deaths. And unsurprisingly, poor women & women of color & their infants have higher rates of death & complications.

Not even once.

"The people who think that bearing arms is central to maintaining American rights are the same people who tried to overturn the 2020 election by storming the US Capitol because they do not command the votes to put their policies in place through the exercise of law" open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

People are going to die as a result of these research cuts, especially the cancer research. Wonder when trump voters will realize that this is not a good idea. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

The world is laughing at Trump, but I’m not. His agenda is a threat to my health, welfare, and safety.

“When he announced sweeping tariffs on our … largest trading partners,Trump admitted they would cause ‘some pain.’ He (has) since recognized this as an understatement, postponing the proposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico … in exchange for no meaningful new commitments on their part.” Jason Furman

Congress is largely to blame for the dangerous conditions at National Airport that led to the recent deadly crash. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

I don’t remember planes having mid air collisions, or just dropping from the sky under the Biden and Harris administration. Funny how it’s happening as soon as Trump freezes all FAA flight control hiring, and then proceeds to blame Obama, Biden and DEI?

Coup!!! Leon Musk and Donald Trump are directing a coup of the US Government. No joke! Do you want these wantabe oligarchs to control your life? open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Elected Democrats have given up.

Would be great if the reporters who turned Joe Biden's dog biting a USSS agent into the crime of the century could be bothered to report on an unelected billionaire's employees basically taking over the HR function for 3 million federal workers.

We will not forget
