Judge Boasberg is a hero.

@mcuban.bsky.social I just placed yet another order for my med I’ve bought from @costplusdrugs.com for years. Super easy, saves me tons of money, reminds me yet again that there are billionaires who aren’t villains but choose to use their money & power to do good in the world. Many thanks!🙏🏻🥳🙏🏻🥳🙏🏻

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Governor Walz is back on the scene and he’s not pulling any punches. ✊🏼 Good to see you Coach!!

Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive order—from the President of the United States. 🧵

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

On my way up to my son’s school to watch him give a presentation and speech on Benjamin Franklin and I cannot stop laughing🤣😭💀

@warnock.senate.gov: "There are moments when the democracy expands and there are moments when it contracts. We're in a moment of contraction. But our moral work is to stand up, show up... And often in those moments that you give birth to something that is even larger and bigger and better."

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

Exactly! This is ludicrous.

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍 #EcomomicBlackout (image by @donkoclock.bsky.social) 🙏

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

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-...

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.

Captures it perfectly.

Money talks

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

substack.com/@ariellaelm/... @meidastouch.com @politicsgirl.bsky.social can you share this?

Where’s the lie?

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

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

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
