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

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Contracts not yet even awarded Single pot of money listed multiple times showing up to 100X the actual savings Contracts not canceled, just stripped of DEI wording Contract savings that do not match records What a mess. Trump lies. Musk lies. DOGE lies. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/re...

Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

It will be a nightmare beyond anything we can imagine if Trump cuts off Social Security for our seniors!! www.rawstory.com/anxiety-moun...

My tiny violin gave out. Does anyone have a smaller one I could borrow?

Trumps Approval Rating is Suffering!! newrepublic.com/article/1918...

MORE NEWS: A federal judge has granted an even more extensive block of DOGE's access to Treasury systems, saying there is a "realistic danger" that the "rushed" process to access sensitive payment systems has compromised data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge orders nationwide preliminary injunction of anti-DEI executive orders. "Plaintiffs’ irreparable harms include widespread chilling of unquestionably protected speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

My office is fighting back against the Trump administration's cruel and dangerous attack on transgender youth and access to gender-affirming care.   I will always fight to protect transgender youth and their right to simply be who they are.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

Hey guys, could y'all follow @john7532.bsky.social, if you aren't already? He's a mutual of mine for many, many years, on the twit-twat & here too. His account got flagged as spam and he's working on fixing it. He has always helped everyone on our boosts. Let's help him tonight. Thanks! 💙🌊

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...

TRUMP JUST FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD STOP HIM FROM USING THE MILITARY FOR A COUP. This is how dictators seize power. The last time someone purged the military like this, they called themselves führer. Pay attention before it’s too late ‼️

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

🚨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.

Tax the rich Stop subsidizing the rich Raise the minimum wage

President Trump fires Air Force Gen. CQ Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, targeting military leaders backing diversity. Brown, only the second Black chairman, leaves amid significant challenges, including the Ukraine war and Middle East conflicts. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

"U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters."

Much of DOGE's data is bogus or in error www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

5-8% of the civilian workforce? Pentagon announces it plans to fire 5-8% of civilian workforce www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

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.

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?

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

Never forget.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.
