"Helpless"🙄 Feckless is more like it.🤷‍♀️

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

l'etat c'est moi

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

🤦🏼‍♀️

Who could have imagined that dismantling and defunding Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act would cause inflation to rise?

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Tulsi Gabbard has learned her lesson. So have Edward Snowden, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad. by Susan Collins

After judge shopping every issue from DACA to the Affordable Care Act to abortion—and being granted nationwide injunctions—the GOP is currently telling Trump to ignore the judiciary. Rule of law party, my ass.

USAID: - started by JFK; helped America win the Cold War - helped topple apartheid in South Africa - investigated Starlink for ties to Putin MUSK: - owns Starlink - is a white South African - talks with Putin regularly, since 2002 THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID - REVENGE

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Musk's propaganda focusing on individual items in US AID's budget is part of the authoritarian assault on the concept of "a public good." By turning every penny the US gov't spends into a topic of public deliberation (and potential ridicule), they are trying to turn people against democracy itself.

I find it ironic that the guy who was convicted…..*checks notes…. 34x and is an adjudicated rapist, pays hush money, steals from children’s cancer charity, watches Miss Teen USA contestants change, grabs women by the 🐱 wants to send any prisoners to El Salvador….

Retaliation? Are you serious? Our fucking lives are at stake. It’s called defending us with every tool available.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

"No Democrat should be voting to advance [President Donald] Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on."

The three worst US presidents of my lifetime have been Dick Cheney, Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right? They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Like it’s wild that Chuck Schumer and staff just scheduled a bunch of tweets and went home for the weekend—and have done nothing to adjust strategy since.

Something please 💙🇺🇸

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech. Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

At what point do people say enough and mass outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building demanding for Musk to be removed? He's an unelected billionaire who has seized control of the government.

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

January has been a hell of a year

This. Senate needs to put the brakes on all nominees until Trump recognizes the Constitutionally defined role of the Congress and steps from trying to ignore/negate/obliterate it.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.
