A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

The GOP go-to is "blame immigrants" -- and it's not working this time

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

seems important. Prominent DOGE Staffer Is Grandson Of Turncoat KGB Spy www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

This will likely upset millions of voters. The government isn’t a business.

President Trump’s sweeping efforts to purge the federal workforce have dealt a striking one-two punch to America's veterans.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

🚨🚨ANOTHER TRUMP ATTACK ON VETERANS! The Postal Service is one of the largest employers of Veterans in the country. Hundreds of thousands of Veterans rely on USPS to deliver medications, benefits, and critical information. We WILL fight this! MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

BREAKING: Elon Musk's Ex, Grimes just replied to one of his Tweets with this urgent message to him:

Err, thanks Amazon for giving me yet another thing to worry about 🪳🤢

I'n glad Mitch McConnell lived long enough to taste the rotten fruits of his harvest. He was responsible for creating the extremist MAGA movement that has fully turned on him. One of the great villains of the past 30 years.

Let’s not bring back horrible diseases 😳

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ

He served four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. DOGE just fired him

Wake the fuck up!!!

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Dark Pence is back.

This is @murray.senate.gov's effort to track what Trump has cut. I'd love to crowdsource a way to make this a point of exchange, to collect info from contractors who've gotten cut off, and match it to what she's learning as Appropriations Ranking. www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

🚨Trump & Musk are coming for your VA benefits. They’re coming for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. We can make it politically untenable—but we need your stories. VoteVets delivers the hardest-hitting ads in politics. Help us fight back. Submit now: votevets.org/doge-tipline

2 of the worst people you know are fighting again🍿... Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

NEW: Rep. Jake Auchincloss joined 'The Ezra Klein Show' to talk about why Democrats must think long-term, build durable majorities, and wield power strategically. READ OR LISTEN HERE: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/o...

This is my dad. He's a 91 yo Air Force Veteran. He relies on his Social Security check. Fuck Elon, Trump & every single Republican who wants to end his Medicare & Social Security. This is who you're hurting, not some fraudulent immigrant. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TheTurdReich

Trump’s disdain for disabled people is well-known, from mocking reporter Serge Kovaleski and insulting wounded veterans to reportedly telling a relative with a disabled son that “maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

All of this — per @ioponomarenko.bsky.social:

These are the GOP members of the House Ways and Means Committee--THEY'RE some of the people hiding while DOGE disrupts Medicare/Medicaid and NIH funding. If they are YOUR representative, consider a visit to their LOCAL OFFICE this week, while they're home, to explain why they need to oversee DOGE.

muSSkkk is canceling contracts already appropriated by Congress, something he can't do, and funneling the money he's "saving" directly into his pockets. This feels illegal. #elon #musk #atheism #atheist #christianity #christiannationalism #aoc #protests #rubio #doge #usgovernment #coup #itsacoup

Veterans deserve the best health care available. At a time when the VA is already understaffed, these layoffs will hurt veterans. Unacceptable. Trump must not cut VA health care so that he can give tax breaks to Musk and other billionaires. The VA must rescind this order.
