Typical Republican plan, let's take money away from the poor so there is more for us.

DOGE has plucked Ryan Wunderly out of Anduril and plopped him at Treasury as one of Musk's kids Anduril is a defense contractor owned by Palmer Luckey. He's Matt Gaetz's BIL, a Thiel protege & Trump mega donor building a weapons plant near Columbus, OH subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

March on I am with Federal Workers and we should all support any and all targeted by DOGE who are running for office. I have a bit sign on my lawn supporting Federal Workers (and supporting deporting Musk), but I will put my time and vote into electing fired up workers who deserve their jobs back.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is on his way to El Salvador to discuss bringing Kilmar Abrgeo Garcia back home.

Harvard rejectes Trump demands to adopt policy & curriculum changes, risking 9 billion in fed grants. Anti-DEI reqs violate its constitutional rights. Will Harvard alum defend these rights & the values of this private institution devoted to the pursuit, production, and dissemination of knowledge?

"Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork." In other words: It turns out Musk's Nazi hackers are neither mathematicians, nor financial investigators. This DOGE scam has NEVER been about "efficiency!"

Pussy Power Activate! 🚨🚨🚨Married women are being targeted by the Republicans in Congress. They want to make it harder for women to vote. Target them back. Call Congress 202-224-3121 and tell them NO WAY!

There is no hell hot enough for Justice Roberts to burn in for eternity.

WSJ said "The First Victim of Trump’s Trade War: Michigan’s Economy." Trump won Michigan and it 15 electoral votes.

Hands-Off dismissed by MAGATS. "No one cares if their social security check does not come" & No one cares that their 401Ks are tanking." Tone deaf, yes. Remember, Red coats were defeated and it all started with a bunch of brave folks in Boston dumping tea over taxation without representaton.

Not too late, not by a long shot. I’m writing to Sen. Cory Booker to let him know that he inspired me to get in good trouble. “The power of the people is greater than the people in power.” Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

Trump began his day on the golf course, financial markets already falling as he waved to folks from his limo. He travels to Florida nearly every weekend, but 2 day he left DC a day early. Split-screen him on the golf course in one of the wealthiest enclaves in America as economic worries deepened.

Trump Tariffed the world...but not Russia. How long before the Trump administration makes Russian the only language of choice for children in our schools.

Dan Rather shaded Trump with a “Turkish Proverb that's gotten nearly a million likes and more than 60,000 comments. “When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus. — Turkish proverb.” And so it has....

While Trump ignores the deadly, devastating wars being waged upon Ukraine and Gaza, he's triggered MASSIVE TRADE WARS with all our allies and trading partners around the world, and is driving us into the next Great Depression. Thank you to everyone who voted for this monster!

“These cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans will die.” – MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, at yesterday's SVAC shadow hearing He even offered to advise DOGE. They ignored him. Now they’re gutting care and shutting Veterans out. It’s a knife in the back of everyone who ever wore the uniform.

Down goes Mike as House defeats an effort to kill a push to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely around the birth of their child, an embarrassing loss for Speaker Mike Johnson. 9 GOP reps joined all Dems during a procedural vote to sink far-right opposition. The GOP really hates women.

Screw Fox News and tell Harris Faulkner to donate her entire salary for the year to all those retirees, or as she calls them ""401K people", she is telling to suck it up because Trump has totally tanked our economy with his incredbly stupid tariffs, among other things.

Facist Marco Rubio ordered the social media activity of anyone coming to the US through visa programs (students, tourists, workers) be scoured by US diplomats abroad for any posts criticizing the actions of the UUS AND Israel and if they don't like what you say, you can be denied entry. Dystopian.

Only ONE party supports Veterans. Only ONE party supports Workers. Only ONE party supports racial minorities. Only ONE party supports LGBTQ+ people. Only ONE party supports religious minorities. Only ONE party supports YOU. The Democratic Party. So reward them with YOUR support. Show up. Vote Dem!

Trump trade war killing US tourism. Canadian travel est. 15% down. Other Int'l travel down 5% & climbing. Businesses under pressure to avoid hosting events or sending employees, multiple countries issued advisories against travel & foreign institutions offering “scientific asylum” for U.S. talent.

The beautiful display of flags at the VA hospital represents Arizona’s 22 tribal nations, the largest Indian population of any state, + 330,000, 1/4 of state land is tribal. DEI Trump ordered all flags removed. Gov. Katie Hobbs is displaying the flags in the Executive Tower at the State Capitol.

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/4koYggdj

We Support Greenland, not 34-time convicted felon President-Donald Trump. We stand with you in solidarity. Greenland is not for sale. To Greenland, we say: Stay strong. You are not alone. We see you. To Trump, we say: You cannot buy people. You cannot bully nations. You will not break democracy.

The stupidity coming out of the White House is appalling. We’re calling on all major news networks to stand up. It’s time to stop covering up for a conman. The people deserve the truth. Stand with the pro-democracy movement and sign the LP petition urging news networks to stand up to Trump >>

A federal judge denied Trump's request & ordered Mahmoud Khalil's to NJ. Trump says Mahmoud was the first "of many to come" Fight back against illegal detention for political speech on campus by a legal US resident. Make a call, demand action!

I sign many petitions,as do we all. Orgs still ask supporters to share the petition on FB or X. I always email back that until they include bluesky, they are missing a huge number of people. Let them know they need to include Bluesky in their "please share" or they are missing a lot of people.
