They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

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)

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

In these unprecedented times, I find it really helps to step aside from the emotions and look at the facts. @timothysnyder.bsky.social outlines our current state brilliantly and concisely. Now we need to get to work.

A Ketamine-fueled psychopathic goober has complete control over all of our nation’s money. All your tax dollars. The social security money that you earned and paid in, so that you can have it back. The money for clean air, food, & water. The money for medical cures, highways, and safe air travel…

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s especially important for Democrats to act.

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

Such a perfect statement about the quality of this administration that the new transportation secretary, a former Real World and Road Rules, alum, did his first press conference about the plane crash without actually speaking to anyone in his own department about the plane crash first

This is exactly what we want to see from Senate Democrats. Russell Vought is the mastermind of Trump’s sweeping (and illegal) spending freeze, and his nomination should be withdrawn. Democrats are starting to fight back, and we need to encourage them to keep going: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

The silence from Dems is deafening. We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it. @dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
