Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Here's recently resurfaced footage from CNN of then-Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham voicing their unfettered, full-throated support for foreign aid. They would HATE it if these clips went viral.

Oh look. The new head of USAIDS is one Pete Marocco who is among rioters who attacked the Capitol on Jan 6

I agree, but we are already seeing it happen. There are currently: 84 voting and election cases pending in 39 states. 19 redistricting lawsuits. 19 lawsuits challenging Trump's illegal actions. Anyone interested, should check out Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com

Just saying.

NEW: Trump's DOJ dropped its lawsuit challenging Virginia’s unlawful voter purge program that targeted voters before the 2024 election. The move aligns with a recommendation from a Project 2025 contributor to end litigation against voter purge programs.

It's an awesome feeling to have the endorsement of my hometown paper @captimes.com editorial board. I'll always carry with me the lessons I learned as a young organizer in Madison. Let's fight the big fights and win real change for working people.

“The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades & length of service of gov’t workers…We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems”

No matter what Trump says, tariffs aren't paid by other countries—they're paid by you, the consumer. If Trump were truly the business genius he claims to be, you'd think he'd understand that. But then again, his businesses have filed for bankruptcy six times.

Shameful

🎉 🙌 HUGE WIN for these hardworking Americans. This is why we organize. This is why the oligarchs are so anti-union. When we fight, we win.

Why does this unelected man have his hands on our Social Security system?

WATCH: “$19000 a month? That’s pretty good, man… Whew!” As @brotherjones_ pointed out, Speaker Sexton’s Chief of staff makes $19000/month (!!) while TN teachers make $3500/month — yet TN Republicans only offered $2000 as a one-time bribe to garner support for vouchers💰🤔

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Trump's baseless claims about the tragic plane collision in Washington, DC are not surprising—they are a pattern. In the past, he also boosted false and disproven claims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a national pandemic, police brutality, and natural disasters. Here is the timeline:

Kash Patel's appearances with Stew Peters are coming up in his confirmation hearings. Last year I published a long look at the drama roiling Peters' blatantly anti-Semitic media empire talkingpointsmemo.com/news/lawsuit...

Selectively enforcing immigration laws to punish political speech violates the First Amendment. The president should not be in the business of policing speech on college campuses.

Query: If “DEI” is the reason for the plane collision, why is this the first accident in [checks watch] 16 years? 🤔

"Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the less fortunate it not socialism." - Hubert Humphrey.

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

TEXAS: “The Chronicle reports that in 2023, at least 100 minors had to leave Texas for abortion care; at least six of the minors were children under 12 years old.” 😳 #ForcedBirthNation www.jezebel.com/texas-aborti...

Senator Raphael Warnock torched RFK Jr. for not answering questions: "The fact that you find it difficult to answer basic questions is deeply troubling for me as you present yourself as the nominee to run HHS." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Solid start to the pay back movement.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
