We have a constitutional right to criticize the administration and the actions of Elon Musk. Trump’s Department of Justice should not work to silence Members of Congress. We will not be silenced.

On a telephone town hall with @juliabrownley.house.gov and guest @raskin.house.gov… to discuss our current state of chaos.

Happy Presidents Day from Camarillo, CA! Democracy is a beautiful thing. #nokings @indivisible.org @indivisiblevent.bsky.social

Democrats surely face some unfair and unrealistic pushback from political influencers and constituents. But misinformation doesn’t explain why they’re fielding so many complaints. They can do better without doing the impossible.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Stand strong, @apnews.com!

What happens when a small country decides to play Monopoly with an ENTIRE US state? 🤯 Buckle up: - Breaking: One nation's billion-dollar fever dream about to shock the world 💥 - Imagine buying a WHOLE state like it's a garage sale item. This is NOT a fake news." denmarkification.com?utm=.share.b...

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

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.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

If he's worried about men battering women, maybe he should ask for Pete Hegseth's resignation?

Maybe a more civic-minded billionaire can relieve this clown of this particular asset. Calling Mark Walter?

New: Musk and his minions have illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information, including SSNs, home addresses, and medical histories, according to an OPM staffer www.muskwatch.com/p/musk-assoc...

Take action and feel better!

This is a violation of the constitution. Congress determines how to spend money. The executive must spend it.

For 150+ years, the 14th Amendment has protected children born on U.S. soil. Trump’s attack is a direct assault on democracy. Take action now. 👇 app.sosha.ai/s/BuFOpE8Q

NEW: In 2019 and 2020, Jefferson Griffin voted in North Carolina elections using military absentee ballots. Now, as he seeks to overturn the results of a state Supreme Court election, Griffin is asking that same court to disqualify similar votes. By @dougbockclark.bsky.social

It’s Friday night. Turn off the news this weekend. Avoid politics. Have dinner with friends and family. Play board games. Go for a nice walk. Watch a romcom. Eat food that’s bad for you and terribly delicious. Ban nonsense from your weekend. Friendly advice. 💜

WE HAVE A WORD FOR THAT!

So uplifting. And so LA 🥹

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

So many employees are themselves suffering loss. #disney #losangeles

Kindness abounds. Thank you, state of Washington 🙏🏻

We’ve been watching the Watch Duty team do absolutely *unbelievable* technical work all week (they’re members of our Fast Forward open source program), handling a surge of millions of people trying to see where the fires are in real time. There are still people who do such good on the internet.

Air BNB is offering free, temporary housing to those impacted by the wildfires. Please share with your networks: news.airbnb.com/airbnb-org-o...

"As the attack unfolded sixteen blocks away, he cheered it from the comfort and safety of the dining room just off the Oval Office. While officers like myself were defending the Capitol, his minions attacked it. That person has now been re-elected."

In the wake of Blake Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation allegations against co-star Justin Baldoni, more actresses are speaking up about their own similar experiences on set.

The Equal Rights Amendment is the proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee equal rights to all people regardless of sex. Drafted nearly a century ago, the ERA finally passed the threshold for certification in 2020 when Virginia became the 38th state to ratify.

Oh right, like Christine Blasey Ford did? Or E. Jean Carroll did? Did that count with you?

Hi. It's not normal for a nominee to be Director of the FBI to have his own personal hit list of people he wants to take revenge on using the power of the fed'l govt. Do not confirm.

Whew. Between this (excellent) piece by @davidfrum.bsky.social and the case dismissals today, I'm a bit low...

Cultivating beauty and feeding the soul 💚

The tax fight next year is going to be an absolute barn burner and it gives our side a perfect opportunity for moral and strategic clarity. They want to raise the price of stuff you buy and use your money to give more to corporations. Let’s keep it simple and let’s fight, after the holidays.

Republicans are more worried about people on hormone treatment using bathrooms than the storage of nuclear documents in them.

MTG wants to control your access to information. Fight back by being well informed. Develop trusted sources of information. Do not let them keep you in the dark about what they are doing-that is the hope of dictators.

We need as many healthcare professionals to be courageous and speak to truth, for our patient’s sake and for the sanctity and credibility of our profession. That starts now. We cannot allow the highly abnormal to be normalized. www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-...

MORAL: The best way to stop creeping fascism is to never give it a barstool in the first place.
