firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

I'm just saying...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This is how it’s done.

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

I cannot tell a lie: George Washington would have gone Revolutionary on trump over that "King" bullshit

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

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.

Wow the hush money payment coming early — they must be panicking about the bad PR www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

We stand with the @apnews.com which is resisting government pressure attempting to dictate how it writes about the news. This is exactly what the founders had in mind when they crafted the First Amendment.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Sassoon is no leftie. She clerked for *Scalia*.

Despite orders from the new Trump-aligned leaders of the Justice Dept.... the federal criminal case against NYC mayor Eric Adams has *still* not been dropped According to court docket

Nearly 200 Congressional Democrats push to save Consumer Financial Protection Bureau In new letter they urge Administration to “remove Musk’s Operatives from the CFPB and Allow it to Protect American Consumers”

Rep. Jamie Raskin's Class Action Law Suit for STEALING our private information is definitely thinking way outside the box and if an anti-vax, inexperienced person like RFK Jr. will be installed we MUST start thinking and responding like this. Thank you @raskin.house.gov we APPRECIATE you so much!🙏💜

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Trump just fired the USAID Inspector General. Why? The IG released a report on the negative impact of USAID’s dismantling, including reports that food for hungry people is rotting in warehouses.   $489 million of food grown by American farmers.   THAT is waste.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.
