Lots of good, decent Americans losing jobs that benefit all of us because the world’s richest man (who none of us elected) doesn’t think they’re important. Sure, MAGA.

We are enduring the final dismantling of the democratic achievements of the progressive generations of the1930s/40s & 1960s - which began - yes began - under Carter and Clinton. When will Dems and Labor truly wake up and remember who they and we are?

A heck of a resignation! Those last couple of statements though. “ if no lawyer within earshot of the president is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is an excerpt from @pbsnews.bsky.social that includes Pete Hegeseth's speech in Poland. He was criticized by the German Defense Minister and GOP Sen. Roger Wicker for his poor negotiation skills. Maybe appointing a Fox News host to lead the Pentagon was a bad idea. youtu.be/R3sWc0NL9xs?...

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

We are going to do a deeper dive on Bill H.R. 22 also known as S.128. Friends, this one is far more troubling than initially realized. If this goes into law, more than 69 million American women could be removed from voting. I think it’s going to encourage women not to take her husband‘s last name.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination." #BlueCrew

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

I guess we’ll find out eventually if those Supreme Court justices who claim to be ‘originalists’ actually are all about upholding the constitution as it was originally intended. For example, separation of powers, so a president cannot be a king or a dictator.
