Santa Monica knows what’s up. The Ask signs finding a home. 📸 @mobilityforwho.bsky.social

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

AMERICA to the PENTAGON: STOP SPENDING $70,000 PER TOILET SEAT PETE HEGSETH: ... AMERICA to the PENTAGON: STOP SPENDING $70,000 PER TOILET SEAT PETE HEGSETH: We’re going to fire 76,000 Americans

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

They want 1939 Germany, Let’s give them 1789 France.

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

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

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.

The CFPB has aided millions of Americans by helping homeowners, stopping banks from charging junk fees, and returning more than $20 billion to consumers. That's why I'm fighting to protect it. More here: www.azag.gov/press-release/attorney-general-mayes-joins-multistate-coalition-protect-consumers

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

These are all good!! #Project2029 gets my approval ✅

Let's be better and address actual problems that real Americans are facing on a daily basis. #project2029

Bloody hell: the ARC Conference. All our favourites, from Project 2025 and Tufton Street to Badenoch and Frogage. All of 'em. The biggest collection of greedy twats ever assembled under one roof. Since the last time this biggest collection of greedy twats assembled under one roof. #Project2029

Our #Project2029 transportation platform is all about the jobs, manufacturing, and freedom of the US high speed rail revolution and when this bro is gone we are gonna build all the rail everywhere all at once

in our #Project2029 we’re going to invest in the best public mail delivery system in the world, electrify the fleet, and open postal banking 📫

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I hope the hockey fans in Boston sing O Canada good and loud so they annoy the hell out of the Orange Blob who may watch it on TV. Go Team Canada!

Why are republicans always so grossly incompetent??

A batch of new polls show Trump’s approval rate falling. My best friend @jvl.bsky.social and I discuss whether or not the honeymoon is over.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Trump voter, disabled military veteran, ‘valuable member’ at FEMA fired as part of DOGE cuts “I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.” wtop.com/virginia/202...

Speaking truth to one who should have his power removed.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
