Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This post is about going to a chill supper fundraiser in Boone County, Missouri — raising money for folks running for local offices. In the comments, you can see people dragging rural Dems. What’s the point of back biting rural Democrats? We’ve always stood in the way of fascists.

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

It’s only right for him to be on the first flight to Mars. It’s his baby.

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

If Nikki Haley were any more gullible, she could be a senator from Maine.

So sick of the comments saying it’s the fault of Democrats that Republicans are evil.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

The man now running the FBI posted this ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Thoughts @kathygriffin.bsky.social ??

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Mitch McConnell announced his retirement after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

And you know who you have to blame for this, Nikki?

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

You fly these flags you are NOT an American Patriot, you're a MFn Traitor 💥😡🖕

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole enchilada is here: bit.ly/4hLYyNx

Reup: Yesterday, Pam Bondi's Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle wrote a long thread suggesting that Eric Adams couldn't be prosecuted bc [the single count of] bribery was no longer viable under SCOTUS precedent. <2 hours later, DOJ charged someone w/bribery. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/19/c...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

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...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

oh my god Hochul has been activated

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Merrick Garland was so concerned to appear bipartisan, to follow the law without fear or favor, he allowed someone who tried to overthrow our democracy inciting a LITERAL insurrection…not only to run again for POTUS but who has now capitulated America into a full blown authoritarian takeover.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

Truth 😡🖕

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

I love New York City. Eric Adams should spare us further disgust & resign

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
