If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

that's it, I'm primarying Chuck Schumer

Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.

The staff of the Department of Education are being told to clear out their offices by 6:00 PM. The dumbest people alive are cheering for this. 🤦‍♀️

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Jeffries: "Don't act like this was being done in the name of fiscal responsibility. Enough with that narrative. There's nothing in the Republican track record to suggest to the American people that you are the party of fiscal responsibility. Absolutely nothing." #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Oliver Darcy has some very good points here

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Walt Handelsman

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Stephen Miller just said on CNN that DOGE staff are employees of the government and are properly authorized. Where is there oath of office and background investigation?

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.

Could someone out there write a definitive guide on convenient alternatives to using Amazon.com for goods and books and whatnot? Asking for some folks who don’t want to see democracy die in darkness.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

“The judge said there was a risk of “irreparable harm” in giving Mr. Musk and his team access to systems that included bank details and other sensitive material.”

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

RFK Jr has no idea how to fix anything, he is just spewing his lies. He is getting angry that he is being challenged.

This plane crash is devastating. My heart is with the families who lost love ones. I’m grateful for the emergency responders’ tireless efforts through the night.

"I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear" Wise words from the brilliant @jimacosta.bsky.social as he announces his departure from CNN 😢

This Doctor is steppin in & keeping us posted on public health updates USE /TAP #️⃣😉 #FDA #News #Recall #Health open.substack.com/pub/drrubin/...

It was all in Project 2025…

I was mistaken. Felon Donald Trump did NOT cancel cancer research. TRUMP CANCELLED ALL MEDICAL RESEARCH!!!!

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history. He should be rejected by the Senate.

Velázquez: Donald Trump did not care a bit about safer communities when he released those who were convicted of beating the shit out of police officers. So, don’t come to us and talk about security and safer communities when you do that

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Eggs up 37%. You can thank Bird flu in the streets and Bird brain in the White House. www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Try to live your life with never cheering a Sieg Heil salute.

AOC is the best.

I’m really not crazy about Twitter’s new logo.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!
