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

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

The country singer started the “Imagination Library” nearly 30 years ago to encourage early literacy. www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Money talks

It's not the most important part of this, but even a megalomaniac like Napoleon would have thought that Steiger was hamming it up too much in this speech.

New: The Energy Department is seeking to bring back nuclear energy specialists after abruptly telling hundreds of workers that their jobs were eliminated, according to two people familiar with the matter

On Abraham Lincoln's 216th birthday, it's worth listening to this important warning he gave us back in 1838. Does any of this sound familiar to you? www.youtube.com/shorts/s2WcV...

The SAVE Act. Read up. Didn’t know about this. Not good.

Here it is in a nutshell: 1. Trump is an authoritarian. 2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy. 3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2. 4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021. Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

NY AG Letitia James is a real hero to the American People. She successfully sued and blocked DOGE from Treasury data. Drop a 💙 and share if you think she is too!

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Make no mistake. We are in the midst of a complete and total Constitutional crisis.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

Yes—I agree. And be aware that this applies whether your reps are Republicans or Democrats. Every politician in Washington must be absolutely flooded with demands from citizens—of every stripe—demanding that the powers of Congress be restored and the current coup by unelected plutocrats be stopped.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

A few weeks ago I had a chance to interview Ken Martin, about his commitment to have the DNC fight for voting rights. His answer gives me hope that we will again see the DNC take a leadership role in the fight for democracy. youtu.be/_vbbvO_fx0Y

You guys I don’t think musk is gonna make the government more efficient.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

In case you were wondering why Chinese tariffs are 15% less than for Canada and Mexico, follow the money. Elon Musk currently has a 4,500,000 sq. ft. car manufacturing plant in China. Tesla does not currently have car plants in Canada or Mexico. One is planned for Mexico. In time for a tariff lift.
