Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Defending Trump’s power grab with the “unitary executive theory” is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.

“Zelensky shouldn’t have started the war with Russia.” Trump Russia is the most primitive rogue state in the world. We can only hope that Russia will go down with Trump.

Patton was right, but we let the sons-of-bitches in the White House.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Hypocrite says what?

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

We need to start recognizing Republican Nazism as an existential threat to our nation.

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the boomers in office pulling the ladder up behind them & telling us if we want to succeed like them, then we should work harder. It's our fault we can't afford to live as comfortably as they did. Here's the hospital bill from my dad's birth in 1958. GFY.

My grandfather, a Mexican, was delivered by Dr. Justina Ford in 1936 in Denver, Colo. Justina Ford was banned from practicing medicine in hospitals simply because she was black. Throughout her career, she delivered thousands of black & brown babies out of her home in Denver. #BlackHistoryMonth

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research

Wow. @maddow.msnbc.com thank you for saying the truth, that the current regime is not governing, they are trying to replace the current form of government with something else, and in order to do it, they have to move FAST. That’s exactly it. The frame in which we talk about this crisis is crucial.
