A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million. No it isn’t a dream. 😴 They just did it.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Presidents only get so much political capital, and Trump has decided to invest his finite capital into supporting Putin's authoritarian regime in Russia. Maybe the White House could try explaining why. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

“Our predecessors deposed a brain-addled king; they crushed the violent insurrectionists of a slaveholding confederacy; they kicked the Nazis’ asses throughout Europe.” “No entitled reality-TV has-been backed by an addle-brained billionaire who cheats at video games is going to roll over us now.”

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

“It’s what President Trump has asked for." Republicans are gearing up to adopt a budget that would statutorily increase the debt. But they say that’s fine as long as it’s for tax cuts.

Feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep track of everything? We’re here to help. Let’s talk about the three big fights that are happening right now and how you can take action against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump.

Putin interfered in the 2016 election and helped Trump win. Trump tried to build Trump Tower Moscow while he was President. Trump chose to believe Putin over our own intelligence community in 2018. Trump withheld aid from Ukraine in 2019. Trump is Putin’s puppet.

If you want some money launder or sell your country to the highest bidder, any of the “coins” is the best way to currently do it.”

We have let hate thrive and the innocent are getting hurt. Teach your children to be better than this

"The layoffs come in the middle of tax filing season. Former IRS officials warned that losing such a large number of employees could disrupt Americans’ ability to easily file taxes this year, even if the layoffs are not supposed to affect those deemed 'critical'...” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Guns are the number one killer of kids in this country. But right now, in many states, a teenager can buy an assault-style weapon. I'm a cosponsor of the Age 21 Act to prohibit the sale or possession of assault-style weapons to those under 21. It's just common sense.

Another shoe drops. The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration resigned after DOGE sought access to highly sensitive recipient information. Trump & Musk’s effort to steal your data and gut your hard-earned benefits continues. While the GOP remains silent.

When CA or any state struggles to respond to devastating wildfires this year: It won't be because "the spigots" are closed. There are no such spigots. But it just may be that when we needed help the most – firefighters' jobs got cut to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Thanks to Donald Trump – it's a great day to be a billionaire in America. For the rest of us? Not so much.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.

Get me your supervisor. Sorry, we don’t know who our supervisor is.

What?!

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

Distraction upon distraction. Plus everyone knows Auric Goldfinger took the Fort Knox gold in 1964. Read This: "Elon Musk Finds DOGE’s Next Target: Gold Reserves at Fort Knox" www.thedailybeast.com//elon-musk-f...

What in the hell?

Under President Biden’s leadership, inflation was decreasing. Under Trump's economic malpractice, it's increasing. This isn't rocket science.

what happened to day one?

Just a reminder: Your representative works for YOU. Every member of the House is back home this week for recess. Republicans must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Democrats must know we’ve got their backs when they fight back. Let's get to work: indivisible.org/musk...

Why has Donald Trump been indicted more than any other president in history? Well, here’s the answer:

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The processing fee for a passport is $130 but there can be other costs and you have to get documents establishing your citizenship like a birth certificate and a photograph. This is the new pull tax if the SAVE act passes.

‘It is going to get a lot worse’ www.persuasion.community/p/the-crisis...

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump have decided that you don't deserve to feel safe when you fly.

A week ago, Musk refers to DOGE as "we"

Encouraging everyone with every fiber of my being to read this entire substack by @hcrichardson.bsky.social — it is, written in fact without doubt to be read in horror by those of us who believe in the principles and values of the United States of America. 1 of 2 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Can anyone find a copy of this wrap ad that the Post had no problem running last fall? Would love to see it. thehill.com/media/514849...
