Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Republicans in the Senate voted tonight while no one is watching to fatten Wall Street profits by jacking up overdraft fees on you. So much for lowering costs.

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

House Republicans are LYING when they say their budget doesn’t cut #Medicaid. The CBO proved it. The GOP budget demands $2 trillion in cuts. The only way to get there is by cutting Medicaid benefits for millions. They knew this and passed it anyway so millionaires billionaires could get tax cuts.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

All the pundits spending time on Dems’ message on trans sports could maybe use a little of their power and platform to talk about how vile this is.

President Trump honors a child with cancer at the same time that, according to St. Jude, his NIH cuts will “likely mean fewer new treatments will be developed for children and, therefore, fewer children will be saved.”

As my friend @drshepherd2013.bsky.social says, asking why we need a National Weather Service when we have apps and the Weather Channel is like asking why we need potato farmers when we can buy fries at McDonalds.

Predicting the path of tornados, the landfall of hurricanes, or whether it's going to rain next Monday might seem like magic. But it's not. It's the hard work of the people at NOAA who make the impossible possible through science. This is dangerous.

THANK GOD a journalist finally said what needs to be said: "Let’s be clear: DOGE is not about saving money. It’s about weakening public services to justify privatization." Thank you, #MichaelEmbrich at @rollingstone.com! Give them the Pulitzer!

U.S. military leadership must speak out firmly against the growing political instability in this country, and Trump’s efforts to build praetorianism within our government. Trump’s ultimate goal is authoritarian rule.

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.

I once asked a Dem strategist who he feared the most. He answered without hesitation. “Moms with kids who have IEPs. They’re the most tenacious people I’ve ever met.” The GOP has no idea what they have brought down upon themselves.

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible. So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.
