It’s one of the smartest things they could do. They don’t have to leave D. Just post here first and engage. They never engage there. They can actually talk to people here. And yes there are republicans and independents on here. Many Republicans hate Toxicity too.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

First they came for the federal employees, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a federal employee ... You know the rest of the poem. Act accordingly.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

It’s a cult.

He nails it.

Wise man…

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says she’ll vote AGAINST Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director: “Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Know what belongs to you!

Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security. Elon Musk is lying to you.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Why am I "entitled" to get social security? Because I've been paying into it every working day of my life.

Tick tock, Hochul. Try not to be the worst Democratic governor for any longer than you need to. Remove Eric Adams.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

How’s this prediction going so far?

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Fox News host John Roberts: "If you're gonna trust anybody with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, wouldn't you want it to be a guy who really doesn't need your money?" (Rich people, famous for not wanting more money ... )

Trump is now blaming Ukraine for being invaded by Russia. This is what you get when a rapist occupies the White House.

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

After ceding power of the purse, GOP lawmakers find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated. By Liz Goodwin www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Can you imagine the MAGA meltdown if Pete Buttigieg went to the Daytona 500 with Biden while Kentucky was flooding and planes kept falling out of the sky? Apparently they gave that guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, a pass. What a joke.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

The White House said Monday that Elon Musk is not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency and doesn’t lead the agency, instead solely serving as a senior advisor to President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."
