Not an accident. Not a mistake.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

If your personal rogues gallery includes the richest man on the planet and the President of the United States, you are probably doing something right.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙

PSA: The reason Medicaid & food stamps are on the chopping block to pave the way for more GOP tax cuts for the rich is because poor people don’t have better lobbyists.

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

MEMPHIS, TODAY: “Hey hey! Ho ho! Elon Musk has got to go!” The people rallied and marched through Memphis, where Elon’s XAI supercomputer now lives — sucking up massive amounts of energy.

As @petebuttigieg.bsky.social wrote on another platform: “The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?”

At an elementary school at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne, librarians are scrubbing the shelves. They are removing books that even contain references to slavery or the civil rights movement. This is where "anti DEI" sentiment has brought us. They are whitewashing history.

MEMPHIS TEACHERS: “Vouchers don’t benefit the underserved. It segregates it.” Reminder: By the end Jack Johnson stopped even pretending it would, and insisted neither he or Lee or anyone ever said the voucher scam was intended to help low income kids🤔 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLsrmL...

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

On our way to the Capitol. Please be safe out there today. 💙💪

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social thank you for having a simple, clear message.

Tressie McMillan Cottam: "You acknowledge that the chaos is smoke, but the heist is the fire. Don’t look away from the smoke. Look through it for what is being taken, redefined and reallocated." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

Donald would flip his wig if he saw it.

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

If you empower a dictator to crush your opponents they’ll be no one left to keep him from crushing you.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once: Congress must immediately act. That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

REP. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social says billionaires like Elon Musk want Americans to blame immigrants and trans people etc. for their economic struggles when their insatiable greed is behind the Gilded Age levels of inequality 🎯 🇺🇸 💰

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor? Surely he lost that honorific today? After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead? How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

Like most aspiring autocrats, he fears democratic institutions because they threaten to place restraints on him. And for him and his movement nothing is more concerning than free and fair elections. He knows from experience that it is just as easy to lose an election as it is to win.

Louisiana has already arrested the mother of the minor here simply for helping her daughter obtain abortion pills. A felony charge with jail time. That should be a scandal and an outage too, but it’s becoming normal in post-Roe America. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-abo...

MAGA.

This is absolutely chilling. He truly is a sociopath.

Did Trump end the war in Ukraine yet like he promised?

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

Never. Forget.

Never. Forget.

💯

TENNESSEANS VS. LEE’S VOUCHERS: “Here in our rural town, we’re not behind that — and I also don’t understand why it’s such a rush to get this passed.” Folks are seeing through @GovBillLee’s unpopular private school voucher scam as he rushes through in a special session.
