Hi, former White House intern, DNC communications staffer, and re-election team partner here: One does not ‘slip’ into the Oval Office. Does not. Period, ever. That’s not a thing.

This Has Never Happened With an American President Before www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Kelly: “Our European allies are looking at this and thinking, what just happened? What happened to the United States of America that used to be the leader of the free world?”

Notice how on the day Trump promises to release the Epstein files he actually releases Andrew Tate, another sex trafficking rapist.

NEW: A $3.7 million Capitol Hill townhouse is the D.C. headquarters of a secretive political influence project. It’s owned by a major GOP donor. But one of the most powerful men in the country recently moved in: House Speaker Mike Johnson. www.propublica.org/article/mike...

I'm just gonna put the FEMA news and the NOAA news side-by-side, because the people in Gulf states are F*CKED.

“OPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees within another agency." - US District Judge William Alsup says in ruling from the bench that the mass firing of probationary employees ordered by OPM was likely unlawful.

JUDGE ALSUP: “.. The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency.” @nbcnews.com #OPM

The over 130,000 in our district who rely on Social Security in our area need answers NOW. Threats to close offices and fire workers with no explanation or clear plan isn’t efficiency–it’s chaos and incompetence.

My god. Can Mexico provide our flu shots? Canada? Maybe our state governments?

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there

Mary Ellen Callahan, former chief privacy officer at the DHS, explains why the treasury secretary violated the law by giving sensitive, personal data to Elon Musk's DOGE.

As a Supreme Court, con law scholar, when I see "Supreme Court" trending with THIS Supreme Court, I know it's never a good thing. Aaaaaaand I was right. Fuck.

I’m writing John Roberts to inform him that his block on USAID will kill and harm people bc he either doesn’t know or doesn’t care. Chief Justice Roberts Supreme Court of the United States 1 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20543

“accidentally” canceling ebola prevention should be a fireable offense

If DOGE is really as “maximally transparent,” as it claims to be, then why not publicly release records about their spending and operations? That's why we sued to get key DOGE records by March 10th.

DOGE quietly deleted the 5 biggest spending cuts it celebrated last week: * An $8 billion cut at ICE was actually $8 million * Three $655 million cuts at USAID were actually a single cut counted three times * A $232 million cut at the SSA was actually $565,000 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

Again, I ask a simple question: Who the fuck is “we” in this situation?

A child died from it today. It’s been 10 years since someone has died from measles.

By all means don’t listen to the voters

This is how WE’RE standing up: live in the Montclair/Bloomfield/Glen Ridge area? Come join us this Sunday or any Sunday 3 - 4 pm, Corner of Church & Bloomfield in Montclair. Signs & empanadas provided. PLEASE SHARE. montclairlocal.news/2025/02/week...

Not only that, bring a life sized version of their pussy Republican rep and let voters respond to their cut outs. Make it happen America!

One of the Trump Administration’s conditions on disaster aid is to eliminate the California Coastal Commission. Look up Altadena, it’s where one of the fires happened. What does an inland community have to do with this? Nothing. Trump Admin should be ashamed.

Saddening & enraging in equal measures.

A list of ProPublica reporters, what they're covering, and how to get in touch via Signal. There are reporters covering USAID, DOGE, State, NIH, CDC, FDA, DOJ, EPA, DOD, DHS, FAA, Medicaid, abortion, HUD, DOT, veterans and ED. www.propublica.org/article/seco...

www.wsj.com/politics/pol... who's running the country (not us)

Attention working-class Americans: Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security. Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.

This, this, a thousand times this.

Put another way, Democrats are demanding the Trump administration comply with the law, and Republicans are saying they want him to keep lawbreaking.

Yesterday they did exactly this: made plain they are prepared to HARM the vast majority of US citizens in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Lawyers, please weigh in.

Little by little, after an initial period of stunned confusion, the broader resistance to President Donald Trump is beginning to wake up.

NASA Study from 2023 reveals compounding climate risks at 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) of warming above pre-industrial levels.

Even the people working at DOGE say it is a lawless nightmare for America. In fact, they know it better than anyone. Thanks to these true public servants who won’t stand for such a dangerous betrayal of the American people.

Over 230,000 Sign Petition Calling for Musk’s Canadian Citizenship to Be Revoked www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

The slew of near misses and air crashes since President Trump took office aren’t just “bad luck.” Musk & Trump fired hundreds of FAA staff that keep our airways safe. “Cutting costs” should never come at the expense of public safety.

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid... Don't Cut Our Medicaid! Make NO mistake, if House GOP vote to APPROVE this bill, PEOPLE WILL DIE. I PLEAD with you, please call YOUR member of Congress. 202-224-3121. Thank you.🙏💜

What's the point since they don't pay taxes.

As I’ve said before: it’s fine for him to be in charge of his fake “DOGE” department, as long as he resigns and divests himself completely from Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink and X

"Cal-Maine Foods, which controls about a fifth of the egg market and sells to Walmart and other large retailers, reported that its revenues jumped to $954 million in the quarter that ended in late November from $523 million from the prior year — an increase of 82 percent. "
