This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Rather than bunker down, Sanders is in the arena, communicating that he is a fighter, that he’s not cowed, and that he’s willing to take on Trump and his kleptocratic regime.

Just found this Gem 👇

My extended family has been discussing what to do if the federal government collapses. During the Reagan years we protected ourselves, so we know what to do now. Seems curious our U.S. senator in 1982 was Chuck Grassley.

"I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight" 9/23/1779: John Paul Jones refused to surrender in a fight with the 44-gun Royal Navy frigate Serapis, even though his ship was burning & sinking. Only hours later, it was the Serapis that surrendered & Jones took command.

With Medicaid funding under threat in Congress and attacks on federal disability protections in the courts, we're breaking down the state of disability rights. Our host @wkamaubell.bsky.social is joined by disability rights activists on this episode of At Liberty.

Billionaires needing to be richer—and doing so by stealing from the rest of us—is only true among Trump, Musk and the Republicans.

St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, was outspoken in defending its staff during a backlash against masks and vaccines. It also sued right-wing figure Ammon Bundy — and won. Now it’s backing its doctors on the abortion front. By @audreydutton.bsky.social and @kelciemmorris.bsky.social

Before today's town hall meeting with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in Des Moines, I checked in with Kira Barker of the Polk County Democrats about what people can do if they are feeling demoralized and hopeless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wKn...

Not really. She did a couple of private meetings. #iowa

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

The FBI is now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Within days of Brad Schimel attending fancy galas in DC, Elon Musk was posting about him. Musk is trying to buy some influence over the Wisconsin judiciary. And Schimel has already bragged about being on his knees begging for money. It's corruption to the extreme.

That’s right.

A 9-year-old Pennsylvania boy earned his high school diploma online and with his parent's help is looking for a dream college to study black holes and supernovas. CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

Just another reminder that Elon Musk is a useless piece of shit. And that’s an insult to manure, which actually does have a beneficial purpose.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

"Trump's friends in Moscow and Budapest aggrieved by network coverage"

“I wonder how he feels about something that important being that small in his case,” Pete Buttigieg mused. “And he has lost support from there.” “To be smaller than Tricky Dick is, uh—gives one pause, I would say,” Stephen Colbert quipped back.

1. Trump declares tariffs that tank the stock market. 2. Trump and Musk buy cheaper stocks. 3. Trump rescinds tariffs, reviving the stock market. 4. Trump and Musk sell more expensive stocks.

This was always the math - it didn’t need a CBO scoring for people to realize this, but hopefully now they’ll wake up. The GOP is going after Medicaid and Medicare to give their rich friends a tax cut. Full stop.

“In contrast to Trump, Americans say they personally sympathize more with Ukraine than Russia by a 56 to 3 margin…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
