#IStandWithZelensky 🇺🇦 Pass it on.

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.” Nikita Khrushchev 1956

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust. Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

This is obscene: Erasing history & purging women and minorities from the federal government.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Floridians, Vote for Josh Weil!

party time!!

Truman said this almost a century ago and he’s still right

Enjoy your American Red Snapper from the GULF OF MEXICO at $26 per pound right now, because when the NOAA can’t forecast limits and the snapper disappear (overfishing), well…eggs ain’t got shit on fish prices.

Zelensky was willing to sacrifice himself to save his country. Trump sacrificed his country to save himself.

No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Elon Musk compared DOGE’s government cuts to the Clinton Administration’s “Reinventing Government” initiative, which cut 400,000 jobs over 5 years. Dr. Elaine Kamarck, who ran that commission, disagrees. “They are paying no attention to consequences…We did it exactly the opposite way.” #Velshi

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

More rank corruption and outright treason that would get any other president (or presidential son) investigated and likely jailed or impeached. I’m sure Jim Jordan will be all over this.

This reckless decision will cost lives. NWS is a lifeline for families from hurricanes & severe storms. It provides crucial local forecasts we use every day. Slashing its workforce cripples its ability to protect communities. My neighbors deserve better—this is an outright attack on public safety.

In 1967, Pittsburgh's inner city produced America’s first EMT service. Comprised solely of Black men and women recruited from the city’s Hill District neighborhood, the paramedics of Freedom House Ambulance became trailblazers in providing pre-hospital and CPR care.

#FunFact: A whopping 32.1% of Alaska's entire population is enrolled in Medicaid (aka DenaliCare). acasignups.net/cd-pie-chart...

Maybe Donold won’t release the unredacted Epstein list because his name is all over it? Just a thought.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

Elon Musk now controls every federal payment system, every single line of government computer code, and every social security number in the United States. He can destroy our entire country and send it into anarchy with the click of a button.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

I’ve lost track of how many times they’ve broken something and then gamely tried to at least pretend to glue it back together.

🚨NEW: Democrat Abigail Spanberger holds a 15-point lead over MAGA extremist Winsome Earle-Sears in a new poll of Virginia’s gubernatorial race. REPOST if you support Spanberger as she runs to flip Virginia Blue!

Democrats on #TeamMaryland are working 24/7 to stop the Trump-Musk administration's illegal dismantling of vital federal agencies and their targeting of federal workers. Today we met with union leaders and legal experts to discuss the road ahead. We will not back down.

*Revenant Indiana Jones in 2025 upon seeing swastikas everywhere: “These guys STILL?!”

Lawrence: Trump and House GOP taking health care away from poor people so “Elon Musk can be richer.” @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com explains the “theft” behind Elon Musk’s effort to dismantle the agency that protects against exploitation by businesses. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqSS...
