Incredible: Russ Vought’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and benefits from a “miracle drug” made possible by the National Institutes of Health—an agency Vought now aims to gut as part of the Project 2025 attack www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Scoop from @motherjones.com’s @metrauxjulia.bsky.social

Woo woo woo! So, we’re talking about saving taxpayers’ money, Congress? Federal employee compensation costs $271 billion—so even if you fired all of us, that’s all you’d save.

Colombia President Gustavo Petro says he will impose a reciprocal 50% tariffs on US goods: “I resisted torture, and I resist you”

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.

Email your Democratic senators and tell them to confirm as many pro-democracy judges as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate. Dozens of nominations are pending and our senators must act ASAP: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...

Our democracy is in grave peril but it's not lost. We can surrender to the forces of autocracy, bigotry, xenophobia, and minoritarian rule. Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. We choose to organize.
