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.

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

Don't hold back now.

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

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

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...

I have said from the beginning when Trump was elected Hungry ppl are an unstable base Add in no Healthcare and well I just don’t think it will shake out the way they believe it will

As suspected, Gitmo was all for show and an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

Women & POC are being erased from government.

The Trump Administration has cost our country over 22,406 American jobs. trumpcostsamerica.com

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

If you live in CA, CT, IA, IL, KS, or ME you might have an election on Tuesday! And I made it really easy! I created a guide so you can be as informed as possible! I even included Maps so if you don’t know if you’re in that district, you can find out ariellaelm.substack.com/p/every-tues...

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

This is really something

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

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

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

🚨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!

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Please follow and support former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe — an inspiring representation of our OPPOSITION movement. Earlier this week, Kluwe appeared at a city council meeting in Huntington Beach City, California and exercised his right to peaceful civil disobedience —…

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

UPDATE: “DOUBLES DOWN ON THE CRUELTY” @GovBillLee turned down more than $75 million in federal funding for summer meals for kids— now *replacing it* with $3 million for summer grocery costs in 15 counties🤔 @RepCohen calls it “clearly inadequate” More: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Economic Blackout, Feb. 28th. Don’t Spend Money!

BREAKING: today, mitch mcconnell, a republican senator working against the US for over 40 years, looked out at the country and decided, “Yup, my work here is done”

Mitch McConnell couldn't vote for Tulsi, but could with Patel? Please. it's all choreographed. they know they have the votes so, they let them vote no to appear "moderate"

McConnell is likely the single most deserving inheritor of Paul von Hindenburg's "Gravedigger of Democracy" title, and I hope he lives another fifty years and never has another good night's sleep.
