Rep. Rich McCormick R GA-7 attended a town hall meeting & wasn’t welcomed with open arms. He was pressed about his endorsement of the SAFE ACT (which jeopardizes women’s right to vote). He tries to weasel his way out, but the people weren’t having it!!!! Volume up & please repost! 💙

Yup!

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

False. He had 0 plane crashes under his watch. Also, fought for Americans rights under transportation. Fuc* this as*hole.

What Democrats did yesterday, 2/21/25.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Soto's home run was a highlight! Let's go Mets!!! âšľ

It feels like people are waking up

BASEBALL IS HEREE!!! Excited to watch the Mets Spring Training game today!! Let's go Mets!!!! âšľ

...but all the money being wasted ... Oh wait, on us, not them. 🙄

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Bravo to Governor Janet Mills She will not be intimated by trump's threats Maine allows TRANSGENDER girls and women compete in sports Bigotry and Cruelty is trump norm Be an Ally support our TRANS Sisters and Brothers and Youth 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 Today's top stories: 📉 Trump’s approval is dropping—57% say he’s exceeded his power, 62% say he’s not honest 💰 GOP budget slashes $888B from Medicaid 🇺🇦 Trump spreads Putin’ lies about Ukraine 🚀 Musk calls to defund the ISS Get ALL the news ⬇️

LET'S GO #KNICKS!! 🏀

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

As we approach vote on government funding, let’s make one thing CLEAR: The government is already shutdown. Trump and Musk shut it down. GOP in Congress did nothing to stop them.

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

👋🏽 Here’s just a snap of what we at @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today👋🏽

This is a great watch:

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Gov. Kathy Hochul clapped back at Pres. Donald Trump after his administration moved to claw back the congestion pricing system Wednesday. During her press conference Hochul said New York “is not subservient to a king — or anyone else in Washington.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/19/c...

“We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king.” - NY Gov Kathy Hochul

Fuck Putin. Fuck trump. I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸.

Here’s an idea: Hochul removes Adams and replaces him with someone who will tell the Secret Service that the next time Trump comes to Manhattan the Secret Service can block the streets themselves without the help of the NYPD

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

It was sent out this morning. I hope everyone who reads it finds a bit of hope. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

I love New York City. Eric Adams should spare us further disgust & resign

To hell with your hatred, Mr. Trump. This is not who we are. We are not hell-makers for other people. We aren't going to be defined by the pain we manufacture for one another, by the people we exclude, by the burdens we pile on the already-burdened. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Tick tock, Hochul. Try not to be the worst Democratic governor for any longer than you need to. Remove Eric Adams.

This is correct.

Of course 🇺🇦💕

Adams’s lawyers’ letter actually makes a pretty good case for Hochul to remove him.

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

An incredibly important exchange here for more reasons than one. It’s worth it to note: this DOJ lawyer, Jason Lynch, is tanking his credibility in defense of an insidious, pretextual, and asinine Trump Administration policy. This kind of stuff will forever haunt you professionally.
