REMINDER: The single biggest driver of our national debt since 2001 has been **Republican** tax cuts.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

🔥 “Wake the hell up.” Former RNC chair @michaelsteele.bsky.social goes in on Elon’s infiltration into the federal government, accessing everyone’s personal info

If you’re a Trump voter and you’ve been fired from your job as a civil servant, contact me using the info in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

"Canada has the longest total coastline in the world, therefore we are well within our rights to rename our major oceans. Henceforth, the Pacific Ocean will be known as Poutine Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean as Hockey Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean as the Gulf of Brian Adams." - PM Trudeau

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

It is important to celebrate the wins when we get them.🥳 President Donald Trump’s administration halted defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after Democracy Forward, on behalf of the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit, filed a lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Shorter and more truthful version of #MurdochJournal Führer-fluffing headline: She, too, lies.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

They,'re both insane. Save the country from WHAT?

No words. But, I’m not surprised. I am a military veteran. I’m a former congressman. I cannot in good conscience follow or support this administration. Anyone voting for her is complicit in the downfall of this country. Tulsi Gabbard is an abomination. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

On this Super Bowl Sunday, when the NFL kowtowed and dropped the plan to use “End Racism” as its end zone message, I’m sharing this on the meaning of “woke.” It asks: “How is compassion, empathy and care for racial and social justice not something to embrace?” www.americaamerica.news/p/embracing-...

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Trump and Musk are slashing funding for lifesaving cancer research and much more. More Americans will die as they take a sledgehammer to decades of medical progress and cripple research institutes in Maryland and nationwide. We are fighting this with everything we’ve got.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Martin O'Malley: The change that we need to win is not going to be achieved by tinkering around the edges, nor will it be achieved by turning the Democratic Party over to a handful of billionaires who pull strings from behind curtains and try to walk our elected officials on short leashes like dogs

Elon Musk literally bought himself the fucking presidency of the United States of America. And what that UNELECTED fucking psychopath is doing to this country is absolutely batshit motherfucking, game over, in-fucking-sane. So that means that we need to get motherfucking LOUD. Right the FUCK now.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

[email protected] Kash Patel was chief of staff for Chris Miller they DENIED the National Guard 14 times on January 6th. I logged all the 14 calls and out over where I was that day. Pelosi is NOT in the chain of command! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3P...

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

This is the best story.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration. Big mistake. Huge.

My firm @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social has already encouraged recent law school grads who planned to participate in the DOJ Honors Program to apply for open positions. elias.law/careers

Oh no

🚨 Today Target said it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups like the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses. You guys know what to do?!

NBC: ICE arrests 500 migrants. NBC, 22 minutes later: Did we say migrants? We're sorry, we meant Puerto Ricans and veterans. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

I love this

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

Pete Hegseth was so “abusive” toward his second wife that she hid from him in a closet and had a safe word to call for help. Danielle Diettrich Hegseth, an ex-sister-in-law of Pete Hegseth, has submitted a sworn statement to senators that accuses him of chronic alcohol abuse and “erratic,”…
