I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump's trying to take over USPS. Vital infratrstructure for our nation that millions of Americans' lives depend on. Essentials of our lives that reach us by mail. A publicly funded good & he doesn't actually have the right. Could be something for the democrats to, I don't know, do something about?

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

I'm currently in a Budget Committee markup. This is what Republicans want to do: ❌ Slash $880 billion from Medicaid ❌ Cut $230 billion from food assistance ❌ Hand $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires & big corporations This is a Republican rip off.

Bird Flu is OFFICIALLY in New York City. We're going to have to depend on ourselves for updates since we cannot depend on RFK Jr or ANYONE in the Trump Administration. If anyone knows of any good sites for updates and for other cities/states, please share in the replies. 🙏💜 pix11.com/news/local-n...

"It is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires... I can't think of a parallel... DOJ, SEC, were investigating Musk companies, that all goes away now, and he makes money at the same time." I was on MSNBC with @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight, talking Elon Musk & corruption.

Republicans have majorities in the Senate and the House — if they want to cut programs like Medicaid, they’ll have to find the votes in their own party. Democrats will not be complicit in cutting funding from lifesaving benefits. www.kuow.org/stories/pram...

Republicans & DOGE just released their budget plans to ensure corporations and the ultra-wealthy receive a $2 trillion tax cut at YOUR expense. The rich are getting richer by slashing federal funds for your healthcare, your education, and your food. democrats-budget.house.gov/legislation/...

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.
