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

Remember: politicians work for YOU. Don’t let them forget that.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Trump is gonna destroy all the stock market gains Biden made over the past four years. Thanks, maga

Don't hold back now.

I’m shocked.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

“At one point, McCormick…was pointedly asked about the firings of hundreds of workers at the CDC which is based in Atlanta: “Why is a supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?” www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

Always stand up to a bully

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chimed in online after Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

“In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I’m starting to think he’s got no second act. He’s like a bad one-hit wonder band from the 80s.

Hegseth fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations. Trump fired Gen. Charles Brown Jr., a four-star fighter who became only the second African American to hold the job of Joint Chiefs Chairman. A Black man and a woman.

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

The 'find out' phase is here.

The resistance is the majority.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Todays hero

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

What would MLK think? What would John Lewis think? What would Malcolm X think? What would James Baldwin think? What would Fredrick Douglass think? What would W.E.B Du Bois think? What would Rosa Parks think? What would Thurgood Marshall think? What would Harriet Tubman think of King Trump?

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.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

How is Trump hoping to improve air safety?!

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

Mood.

Don't worry. All our allies hate us now, but Vladimir Putin is giddy that Trump is in charge and he is already manipulating him into starting a clash with NATO so he can take over Europe.

This is a national emergency:

I am proud to have co-founded @democracyforward.bsky.social in 2017. I am even prouder to Chair its Board today as it leads the critical court fights to protect democracy. When we fight, we win! youtu.be/hQJQ5XQeESg

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or scream... or all of the above.
