The fact that Trump was “celebrating” Black History Month, that Tiger Woods stood next to him, and that the room was full of Black people doesn’t change the obvious fact that white nationalism shapes the agenda of this administration.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

Seeing the members of Boyz II Men in a smiling picture with creepy insurrectionist white supremacist Mike Johnson knowing full well that he’s a terrorist who is actively helping to destroy the country is disgusting. I’ve always loved their music, but I’m done with them.

— 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.

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

Janno Lieber, the head of the MTA, had won a hard fought battle to switch on congestion pricing - a plan not only to cut traffic, but to pay for $15B in badly needed transit upgrades. In Trump, he faces his biggest obstacle yet. Free link here www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/n...

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Seven years ago today, 17 people were killed and 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. This senseless shooting inspired young people across the country to demand improved gun laws. The #Parkland17 deserved better, and we keep fighting every day in their honor.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.
