I'm excited to share that @sanders.senate.gov and Senator Peter Welch will be joining our tele-townhall so Vermonters can hear from us together! Join us on Wednesday, February 26, at 6:30PM. RSVP at balint.house.gov/live. Talk to you soon!

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

As flu rages, the Trump administration has pulled the plug on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention flu immunization campaign that targeted high-risk groups, including pregnant women.

Independent?

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is announcing that the province will rip up its $100M contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink ahead of Trump’s incoming tariffs

I know what Musk and Trump are doing is overwhelming and it feels like you can’t do anything. We need to immediately demand local leaders, schools, bosses, and managers answer how they’ll stand against it before it reaches them. This is essential. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/actions-to...

@sanders.senate.gov @balint.house.gov

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Make time to rest and recharge

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that: Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid. Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance. Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

Trump: *illegally and unilaterally claims power to pause funding to hospitals, preschools, health clinics, Meals on Wheels, students, and more* Democratic leadership:

It's a coup. Pass it on.

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country. It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

I've been cigarette free for 3 days. And with all the stressful shit happening I still haven't been tempted to smoke. I think the quit is going to stick this time

@schumer.senate.gov and the @democrats.org disgust me. They can’t even muster a united front against Trump nominees. And as horror after horror rolls out where the hell is their opposition?

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

if you kill a homeless person you get to meet the president and shake his hand

Maybe Dr. Oz owning $550,000 in UnitedHealth stock and seeking to run the agency that oversees UnitedHealth's biggest cash cow (Medicare Advantage) should get more attention www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Amazon employees around the world are demonstrating between Black Friday and Cyber Monday to call for improved wages and working conditions, including unionization rights. Workers are striking in 20 countries including the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and India.

It's not that hard to quit using Amazon. I live in a really rural area without many stores. I last used them a year ago. If I can do it, others can.

5+ inches of snow today! Woohoo! Love love winter. ❄️

fuckin harrowing piece. real easy to imagine ending up like this. in this country it only takes one stroke of serious bad luck if you don't have A LOT of money www.esquire.com/news-politic...
