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

Just weeks after giving birth, Rep. Brittany Pettersen traveled to Washington with her newborn to stand up for Coloradans. ❌ No one should have to choose among their health, family and duty to serve — yet Republican House leadership denied her the ability to vote by proxy while on maternity leave.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Over 650 political scientists who have dedicated our lives to the study of democracy & government, have signed this letter enumerating our deep concerns about this administration’s actions that undermine the Constitution and the rule of law. Please share. urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Exactly right

Too many people are financially illiterate and will have no clue what the catastrophic long term repercussions of this is. Can't unring this bell. Can't put the crap back in the horse. Can't pull a Trump and a few days later claim to have won something and reverse course.

This is the most powerful form of protest. Never underestimate the power of sitting on your ass and doing nothing. The Broligarchs waging war on you can't survive without you. That's the irony. You make them possible.

Ummm. This is insane and not even remotely true.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
