House Republicans passed a budget plan pushing Trump’s agenda—extending the 2017 tax cuts and ramping up immigration enforcement—while paying for it by slashing Medicaid, SS and gutting clean energy investments from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

My god, the barbarism is astounding... ladyfreethinker.org/lft-investig...

Their goal isn’t just to mask their destruction of the federal government or overwhelm fact-checkers with chaos. It’s a sleight of hand—shifting blame from corporate elites like Musk, who profit from backroom deals, to “deep state” bureaucrats, DEI recipients, and African children. shorturl.at/4Yaf2

...for Latinos, the economy was far & away the most important issue, w/immigration a distant third. A staggering 81% of Latino voters saw economic conditions as “poor” or “only fair.” 63% simply did not believe that Trump’s menacing rhetoric about immigrants was aimed at them. shorturl.at/UQWqf

This is a victory. It shows they aren’t immune from public opinion and that YOUR voice matters. This doesn’t bring back the full time employees who were fired without cause, but it’s a start. Keep fighting. www.latimes.com/california/s...

The more the American people see the Republican plan to help out Trump’s billionaire buddies in action, the less they like it. We’re going to keep fighting for the people. newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Pay attention to Tim Snyder.

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

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Statement from Maine Governor Janet Mills: #resist #resistance #democracy

Just a really, really, bad deal. The Republicans are doing everything they can to speedrun an economic depression. Cut govt workers, cut healthcare, attack veterans disability, raise taxes on the most vulnerable people. #republicans #oklahomabluedot #taxes #trump #democrats

Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” is slashing jobs to fund tax cuts for billionaires—but oddly, they haven’t touched Trump’s $11.4M (so far) in taxpayer-funded joyrides.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
