It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Exactly right

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

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

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Captures it perfectly.

Thanks to the 13,000 participants who joined me for our telephone town hall this week to discuss violations of the rule of law and escalating threats to key federal government programs, federal workers and vulnerable communities. We’re fighting back. Check it out below.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

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.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Bernie Sanders: "For Mr. Musk and his fellow oligarchs, the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, and dreams of ordinary people are simply an impediment to what they the oligarchs are entitled to. And that is really what they believe -- they are entitled to all the wealth and power they have."

😂

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

*endorsed

How does a man like Putin, who grew up in a rat infested apartment end up being worth $200 billion and owning a house as such. Without ever working in any business? He becomes a President and steals from the people. This is where we are at. Now imagine it’s America. How much can they steal?

Watch Andy Beshear and share far and wide

There have been MASSIVE protests this week across the country. If you took any videos or photos from the protests, or have seen great videos or photos of them online, post them below! Let's show the world that the pro-democracy community is just getting started!

Maddow: Oh, you want us to take your fork in the road? How about fork you? Here's a million spoon emojis.

If you are a federal government employee and you receive an email that the Fork in the Road deadline has been paused, please share it with me. I’ll keep you anonymous. Contact in bio. I’m interested in the language they use. They’ve been ordered to notify you.

The current occupant of the White House is a low life thug. This is what thugs do.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

An important historical note — that USAID helped end Apartheid — sheds new light on Elon’s relentless and soulless attack on USAID. During Apartheid, Black South Africans were robbed of human rights and political power. 1/2 www.thealtmedia.com/p/musks-sout...

Convicted felon Donald Trump's administration “evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice on Tuesday — not even enough time to gather her personal effects” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Leon is upset people are calling Teslas Swasticars Hundreds were tagged with this sticker in London

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Crockett: What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now

NEWS: The MeidasTouch Podcast is now the #3 podcast on Apple’s charts—across ALL shows. Thank you! This proves that, despite media narratives, the pro-democracy movement is energized, engaged, and rising as our institutions face relentless attacks. Let’s keep this momentum going!

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

So naturally, you know what to do…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨
