What ?!?

Here's a great use of your resources to right the ship in America, @mcuban.bsky.social Radically fund early childhood learning & teachers. My daughter dropped out of college for health & costs, took a job at a daycare. Shocked by difference in littles who've had access & read to at home vs. not.

God, I absolutely love these town halls. Folks aren't lying down any more! 💙🐝💙

DOGE just torched $900M in education research, killing studies on kids' learning, school safety, and early childhood programs. But Musk, who’s made $136B since the election, still gets his $20B+ in government contracts, untouched. This ain’t "efficiency." It’s theft. WAKE UP.

Today, I visited the Pendergast Early Learning Center, a Head Start site here in Phoenix, where I got to speak with administrators about how a federal funding freeze could impact early childhood education programs.

Don't do it Zelinsky. Keep your mineral rights to rebuild your country and move on from this hell. I HATE that trump is squeezing this deal- it's obscene and it's extortion. If Texas /USA was invaded for 3 years, would we give up oil rights to Mexico to buy peace? Not in a million years.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

We can only hope, Ukraine will not take Trumps deal. 🇺🇦Everything Trump touches dies! 🪦 What to know about Ukraine's rare earth minerals, which the U.S. wants www.axios.com/2025/02/20/u...

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Absolutely Awesome! But what pissed me off was that not one of the other Dem Governors backed the Maine Gov up! C’mon y’all stand together & don’t play #felontrumps games. #Callfelontrumpout! #LetsStandUnited #FightBack #GoodTrouble #DemVoice1 www.palmerreport.com/analysis/gov...

This is not thoughts and prayers This must be taken seriously and if the current legislators don't, they will be voted out and Norcross & buddies need their court date PRONTO. Bossism is not dead, but it is deadly. New Jersey can do better than this. #DemVoice1

It's Official. The REPUBLICAN's are NAZI's. I HATE NAZI's

Media, are you going to sane-wash all the Sieg Heils ? If they keep doing it, are you just going to normalize it? Nazi's have No place and NO welcome anywhere in the world ! Maga Trumpers = Nazis 😡 @pbsnews.bsky.social @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

“Now that you’ve unfairly called us Nazis I have no choice but to do a Sieg Heil” is really where we’re going with this. Do not relent. The public is not on their side. “It was an accident” is not the same thing as “I’m doing it intentionally but ironically.”

🇨🇦🇺🇦Canada support and stand with Ukraine.

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.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Hegseth did this purely out of vindictiveness because he's a misogynist ...

Collectively we had the power to turn the oligarchs into billionaires, DON'T ever forget we have the same power to take them down. Boycott all oligarch owned businesses that are dismantling our democracy. #WeHaveThePower

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

"Leland Dudek, a data analyst working in a small anti-fraud office, was suspected of sharing unauthorized access to information with representatives of Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service. Now he’s the acting Social Security commissioner." wapo.st/41qBKwR

So here’s what happens when they actually go after Social Security & Medicare: They officially PISS OFF approximately 73+ Million Voters, their Families & Friends, and their political lives END! Are you paying attention GOP? We’re watching very, very closely, we know who you are! CONSEQUENCES!

#ProudBlue FOTUS and his buddy Elon are having a great time cutting our democracy to shreds. This is criminal and Americans are suffering for it. They are going after Medicaid and you can bet Social Security and Medicare won’t be far behind. We have the stupid MAGAs to thank for this, FAFO, idiots!

SCOOP: New Social Security chief was being investigated for leaking data to DOGE when Musk team tapped him. Sr officials placed him on paid leave while probing whether he may have violated privacy & tax laws, WaPo's Lisa Rein reports. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

. Social Security chief under investigation for allegedly leaking data to DOGE after being tapped by Musk’s team. With 41 jobs cut and 10 offices closed, these missteps impact 73M+ lives. Big mistakes are happening and the consequences will be severe. #SocialSecurity #Medicare #Consequences .

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

Term. Limits.

Um

Nice job, maga! Kings Musk & Trump don’t need Telehealth — so they’re taking it away from everyone: all of you who are not as rich, powerful or privileged as Trump & his Tech Bros. Why are Americans struggling to make ends meet be stripped of this invaluable healthcare tool? We have to fight!!!
