"your health care coverage for Elon’s tax cuts. That is the fundamental fulcrum on which the next two years of American history — and quite possibly many years into the future — will turn." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/infle...

Do you think Trump has ever even been to a National Park? I hope the short staffed parks are closed rather than open without enough staff to keep the parks and visitors safe.

NEW: While Elon Musk and his underlings demand budget cuts and layoffs across the federal government, funding for the agency they operate — the Department of Government Efficiency — has soared to some $40 million, ProPublica found.

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who is with me? 🖐️

Russia is a feeble giant, scrounging the world for key ingredients to keep its airplanes in the sky (barely) and make modern technology items. Putin's Empire of Tin & Blood is teetering. Yet, Trump rolls in and acts like Russia is America's Daddy. Is THIS what Team MAGA thinks is America First???

Hey Washingtonians! Is Representative Adam Smith holding a district meeting while Congress is on recess? Where and When?? And @adamsmith.house.gov I called your office to ask about this, heard nothing back. What’s the plan Dems????

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov remember #Boeing, #SEA-TAC, and all the rest of the industry and airports, not to mention the traveling public in WA. Please do something. At least speak out every day. I’m calling you every day and I want to hear from you. 98056 voter.

I used www.5calls.org to call my senators and representative to protest against Elon Musk and doge’s takeover of the federal government and unlawful access of government data and classified information. Have you made your calls today? It’s easy. I call every damn day. It’s the least I can do.

@cherijacobus.bsky.social @malcolmnance.bsky.social @berlinbobl.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu It's interesting how JD Vance wanted to lecture all of Europe about free speech and censorship, but not once did he call out Russia. We know who MAGA allies are and who they aren't. #DefendDemocracy

for the second time today, Tom Homan is on Fox News confirming that he asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

@cookpolitical.bsky.social Amy Walter said it: Members of Congress NEED to hear from constituents. Pressure from constituents will work over time. Call EVERY DAMN DAY. www.5calls.org

This country is in the midst of a fucking shitstorm. And if you don't like those words or are for some reason too scared to repost this, then you're just not ready to do battle with Trump, MAGA and Musk. We're taking this battle to the streets. Follow me electroboyusa.bsky.social for updates!

Guess we won’t be staying at any AirBnB anytime soon. F*ck the Oligarchy

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Find your reps' phone numbers easily at reps.fyi. You can also use 5calls.org or the 5calls app. But call!

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

@davidbrooke.bsky.social Donald Trump is not talking about working class folks because he wants to do anything for them. He’s successfully duped them, and is dismantling their safety net, no doubt while snickering and calling them losers @pbsnews.bsky.social

@pbsnews.bsky.social @geoffrbennett.bsky.social who is this joker Trump apologist #IlyaShapiro??

@pbsnews.bsky.social great interview by #NickSchifrin with @kajakallas.bsky.social We wish Europe well in dealing with the Trump chaos. Also wish Nick would join Bluesky.

North Carolina State University announces a hiring freeze in response to federal funding issues. There it is, another step in the dismantling of higher education, barely making the news (because it’s not happening at Harvard). www.wral.com/news/educati...
