The Oversight hearing with the Four Mayors (of Chicago, NY, Boston, Denver) has been fascinating. It's one of the few hearings in which only one side has witnesses they agree with -- the GOP can't ask a question to get an echo or confirmation. The Mayors have been holding their own quite well.

Seriously, Congressional Democrats? THIS is how you plan to fight back? We are fucking DOOMED! You protest by making noise! By storming out! Not by wearing a color-coordinated outfit. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU???

For 250 years, the United States has supported democracy. Now, in the middle of a horrific war that Putin started, Trump is turning his back on Ukraine and democracy, all to the benefit of a brutal dictator in Moscow.

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

FLASHBACK: Five years ago, Donald Trump didn't want to wear a mask because it would smudge his makeup, so the Republican Party helped him kill a million Americans.

In just 45 days, nearly every government agency has been hacked and a cabinet hell-bent on ramping up Project 2025 has been installed. We are watching a coup in plain sight. What was democratic leadership's response? Pink suits and signs. 🙄 Our leaders are failing us. Decorum will be our DOOM.

Propaganda is the act of repeating a lie, continuously. Journalism is the act of publishing the truth, once. Lies are gonna win until we figure out that the truth needs repeating and defending.

Joe Biden brought the US economy out of covid. Yes, inflation was still an issue, but the US had the best economy in the world, & broke the all-time high stock market record. Convicted Felon Donald Trump ruined it all in 6 weeks. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/s...

An animal lover- I volunteer to help injured and sick wildlife. Trump & Musk are destroying EVERYTHING to rob the country for their personal profit - the idea is to leave it bankrupt- perfect for a hostile take-over- right now, Trump and Musk are easily doing just that. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Ill be watching the address tonight. I completely understand your desire to boycott it. I will do my best to provide an overview for anyone who doesn't tune in. It's important to know what he is going to do and get ready to fight back against it. Not wait until it happens for us to be surprised. 🫶🏽

This is the way. Thank you, AOC. 👏🏽 The real “joint address” has been happening all over the nation at town halls and Tesla dealerships. It’s happening online. We The People still matter. 👊🏽 No one voted for what’s happening. And absolutely no one voted for Musk.

I refuse to watch the felon’s circus tonight. Instead, I’ll be listening to Timothy Snyder about the threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it. If you've read any of his books, you know this will be fantastic. Join me for free! social.redwine.blue/s/begLqKNL

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Raskin: It’s not even enough for them to appoint a crew of embarrassingly servile judges like Aileen Cannon, who may as well be on the bench in Putin’s Russia, as she shows little fidelity to the rule of law but fastidious devotion to the whims of her dear leader.

The warnings were clear: * 1 million kids untreated for severe acute malnutrition; * Up to 166,000 malaria deaths; * TB cases up 30% * 200,000 more polio-induced paralysis cases in 10 years. The Trump team killed USAID anyway. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

DOGE: Fake Savings Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago. 🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.” 🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021. This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.

Don’t fall for Elon Musk’s smoke screen. What he doesn’t want you to know is that there’s a fix to extend Social Security’s solvency: end the tax cap. Billionaires like him reach the cap on New Year’s Day. Let them contribute all year long like the rest of us. Problem solved.
