Evidence that the Democratic coalition *has to* embrace a Bernie/Warren/AOC-style economic populist message -- anti-oligarchy and pro-democracy. Tax the billionaires and rebuild the middle class. This is how we win.

this is absolutely right, it's a gleeful dehumanization that is both demonic and strategic

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Every day these people show us who they are

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

Swear I was watching the Globetrotters at times...

Come ON. You fight unconstitutional moves even if the target is unpopular because the next target will be for something even bigger and more important. And because many innocent people will die.

Tons of head start programs across the country still have funding cut off so US treasury is not being honest.

@cnn.com :”The masked man went into the bank, pointed a gun at people and took all the money, raising questions about whether masked men can wield this kind of authority.”

NEW CBS reports that Trump almost FLOODED the Central Valley of California by instructing the Army Corps of Engineers to release billions of gallons of water from two reservoirs in California's Central Valley. 1/

BREAKING: 88 FBI agents who worked on Trump cases were just physically escorted out of the Washington Field office per a source.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.

“For the German establishment, the situation was very clear. “A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial. “There is no need to make this unnecessarily complicated,” the editorial said.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/w...

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all. bit.ly/4gdjnQe

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

Rampell on Trump coin: If you're the Saudi government, you no longer need to pretend to stay at a Trump hotel in order to give money to Donald Trump.

Perhaps the real reason all public inauguration events are getting canceled. The crowd size would have embarrassed the incoming child and so he would rather take the transition money and run.

🚨 The Shocking "Trump Coin" Money Grab Quick 🧵 It went down so quickly that people are still trying to dissect what happened, but it appears that Donald Trump and his family took a big step toward Putin-style self-enrichment through an explosion of a brand new Trump faux crypto currency. 1/

People have such short memories.

Honestly, this kind of open corruption would be striking even in Latin America. I think Americans are just not used to doing corruption quite like that, so they have no decorum. 1/

A reminder Monday that there will be an avalanche of executive orders. Mass deportations will start. Meanwhile, the House and Senate will try to ram through a bunch of bad bills. Do not get lost in a sea of despair. That is what they want. Prepare yourselves now.

The largest wildfire in Texas history just happened eleven months ago and destroyed thirty times more area than the one in Los Angeles

at the end of a 14hr flight into LAX, the pilot told us not to be alarmed if we smelled smoke, the plane wasn’t on fire, just the city

Trump’s presumptive cabinet is worth an estimated $383 BILLION and counting—he doesn’t give a damn about the working class.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social. I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be: “Newspapers die in cowardice.” anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

This Philadelphia Inquirer reader really nailed it in her LTE

Remember during Covid when some governors provided regular updates about what was happening? We need regular updates by the best Democratic communicators explaining the reckless incompetence of the Trump bunch and providing the public a picture of how things can and must be better.

Nothing saves the lives of more children than vaccines. Nothing kills more children than guns. The GOP is a death cult.
