“Democrats are too buttoned up. They’re too afraid and too nervous to be real people.” @donlemonofficial.bsky.social writes about how Dems need to embrace and understand the importance of nontraditional media. READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

A cold weather advisory has been declared in the City of Boston from Tuesday, February 18, through Wednesday, February 19. Please take precautions and stay safe during the extreme cold. Visit boston.gov/cold to learn more.

Americans opposed to the early actions of President Donald Trump and his allies, including ally Elon Musk, took to the streets in protest across the country. cnn.it/411hctE

Luigi Mangione has a website now. "I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for - everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions..."

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

Dr. Oz has a horrible record on reproductive rights. How can we trust him to oversee health care for millions of women? Senator Duckworth and I are sounding the alarm. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

BIG NEWS: We're holding DOGE accountable. It's not "efficient" to allow Elon Musk's operatives to mess with the systems that send Social Security checks or pay for your mom’s doctor through Medicare. It's dangerous for the economy and a breach of privacy for millions of Americans.

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them. Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s idea of efficiency is stopping research on curing cancer.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: The Department of Education has rescinded Title IX guidance that stated NIL payments must be proportionate between a university’s male and female athletes. nyti.ms/40Z3Z4i

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans. I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

We’re not going to split kids into “haves” and “have nots,” especially in the lunchroom. We’re feeding our children - and saving families millions of dollars along the way. It’s that simple.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Saturday, February 15 is the last day to vote in Boston’s Participatory Budgeting initiative. It only takes a couple of minutes to help decide how Boston will invest $2 million in community-driven projects across the City. Go to boston.gov/participate to learn about proposed projects and vote.

Super Bowl lesson: Stopping an arrogant Chief from a third term is probably a good move for America right now.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Attorney General Andrea Campbell of Massachusetts sued the Trump administration, alongside 21 other states, over its efforts to drastically reduce federal funding for biomedical research.

“Three weeks ago, Trump and Vance swore an oath to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ There’s fresh reason to wonder whether they meant it.” @stevebenen.com on Trump and his team’s new threats to our constitutional system. READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Serena Williams was on the field longer today than Harrison Butker.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

"The revolution about to be televised you picked the right time but the wrong guy" KENDRICK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #superbowl

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

It happened so fast, I didn’t realize until just now that Bluesky has blown past 31 MILLION active users!! 💨 🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

One is a 23-year-old software engineer who helped decipher an ancient scroll buried for centuries. Another was the runner-up in a “hackathon” contest last year as a Harvard senior. A third is the CEO of a multibillion-dollar start-up. These are among the operatives linked to Elon Musk’s DOGE

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

This is AMAZING news! Fuck Amazon www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

What you see now is a suit and tie version of January 6th -Lawrence O’Donnell We are once again under attack

This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

Here’s one thing that I’m watching with Donald Trump’s tariffs: Which billionaires and giant corporations will buy themselves loopholes? In his 1st term, well-connected insiders got tariff waivers. This is one more way to make corporate CEOs kiss Trump's ring.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

“Breaking the law” is so much more accurate and way quicker to say!

This is your daily reminder that both Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell can go fuck themselves forever and ever.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

I called on Secretary Bessent to answer why and how he gave Elon Musk and his cronies permission to access government payment systems. The response back raises more questions than answers.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class. How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally? Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.
