“The costs of dismantling agencies, dramatically politicizing state capacity, and demeaning the idea of public service will still be counted long after Trump has departed the scene,” Donald Moynihan writes:

US Rep. Glenn Grothman (R) faces hostile crowd at Oshkosh town hall meeting. Boos and Jeers. This is great to see! www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

We don't know whether Trump was recruited by Russia in 1987 and codenamed #Krasnov but it's hard to think things would have turned out the way they have if it wasn’t true.

Yes!!

After Raskin issued a harsh takedown of Musk, triggering a Twitter fight between the two, Raskin pressed further, asking Musk a simple question: As someone who supposedly works for the government now, will he submit to basic financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest rules?

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

#Krasnov

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

Always stand up to a bully

I’m with Joe Walsh on this one.

"Golden Era"

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

The US State Department has ordered embassies around the world to cancel subscriptions to news outlets that they don't like. Free speech for me, but not for thee?

www.nbcnews.com/video/trump-... Such a nasty awful disrespectful pig!!

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

No hurry

Right Wing media & social media algorithms are controlling what people see, burying truth under a flood of lies. We can’t let them manipulate reality. We must take back control & deliver real, unfiltered facts straight to the people. Here’s how. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

A month into his presidency, however, the economy is not a clear strength for Trump. Five polls released over the past two days ― from CNN, Quinnipiac, the Washington Post, Reuters and Gallup ― show signs of simmering discontent.

Thank you Canada
