This is America!! We can show this treasonous, corrupt, criminal in our WH , his so called administration & his lackeys what courage and patriotism are all about! They must be fired, removed from our Government and held accountable by our LAWS! 🇺🇸🗽 ASAP!

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

Exactly! Why?

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Another outrage that must be challenged!!!

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

How to respond to a bully. Thank you, Governor Mills.

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.

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court keeps lower court order that undid Trump effort to fire Special Counsel Dellinger in place. Trump administration's motion to reverse is held in abeyance until after TRO expires on 2/26. Subscribe to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Always stand up to a bully

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

W/ Kash Patel's confirmation, he now has the power to weaponize the FBI against his so-called "enemies" Weaponizing law enforcement is a tactic used by autocrats around the globe—but Americans can push back We discuss how👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

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

Never forget.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Shame on Rand Paul!!!

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

Holy hell. Total withdrawal. Wearing glasses inside. Mumbling, incoherent.

It’s literally in the Constitution. No. Just no.

And now this… www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

NEW: Judge Dale Ho appoints Paul Clement to present “friend of the court” arguments on the government’s motion to dismiss Eric Adams’s charges.

"We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.” - Edward R Murrow

Paul Clement is a conservative's conservative. Personal politics aside, his legal bonafides are not debatable. Very credentialed. If Clement submits something saying Judge Ho has options in the Eric Adams case, SCOTUS - particularly THIS composition of SCOTUS - will listen.

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

"The bottom line is this: The voters are angry with Elon Musk, they're angry with the cuts to the federal government. You saw in the town hall last night, and they're taking it out against Elon Musk in the polls as well, where his numbers are falling."" www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-po...

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

@kenmartin.bsky.social what is the story with Rich Schaffer the Dem party chairman in Suffolk Cty NY? We could use some competent, patriotic leadership along with strong candidates here! Are you aware of our need??

Judge Ho should not take the easy way out - as so many are prepared to do - we have the former US Attorney who described DOJ's quid pro quo in detail in her resignation, have her testify, and review the docs demanding DOJ persons move to dismiss or be fired.

John, your words are extremely important, “…and we need those people..” Yes we do! We all need to do our part every day to protect our democracy/freedoms/lives and even world order. The Values and promise of the United States of America are at stake! 🇺🇸🗽
