And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Jasmine Crockett! I love her. I live in TX, unfortunately not in her district. She is a badass and we need more like her.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

That feeling when you (me) dream you meet @johncusack.bsky.social at a thing-tell him how much you love his work. He gets embarrassed-you say, “no, there’s more! I like your tweets! I like your red sky pictures!” Which somehow prompts him to invite you to dms like it was mutual. Ah dreams.❤️so real.

I hate to ask this but i have to, are we now the bad guys? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/are-we-now...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

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!!!

It is ILLEGAL for landlords and hotels to exploit the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire by jacking up prices on Angelenos. File a report via oag.ca.gov/Report or 1-800-952-5225.

Math is hard

I listened to Lex Fridman and Mark Andreeson for three terrifying hours - while as a mom I want to hug Lex, as a dem I was scared at how certain Mark is about the “goodness” of the future and it sounded like they are winning. I do not know how to be certain of the future like they are. Any words??

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We've been doing the Project for Awesome since way back in 2007. I don't think we've ever raised $100,000 before the p4a even began! Thanks to everyone who has already donated. You can get loads of amazing stuff--including new writing from hank and me. projectforawesome.com/donate

Kendrick brought America together the way that "Country Roads" ad was supposed to.

🔥 Jasmine understands the assignment: "Everyday we show up for you. What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now."

House Democrats are working around the clock to keep your data safe from attacks by DOGE and Elon Musk.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

THIS! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

Sen. Van Hollen is correct. Demand #DemocracyNotDictaorship Call your senators & stop this illegal coup. #Demvoice1 #DemsUnited

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

The only reason ICE would be at schools is to take innocent children into custody in order to lure their parents. Family separation 2.0. 🚨 Los Angeles school police says it will not comply with ICE.

The reality is that these positions are more important than Sec of Defense because they will do all the work and define all strategies. He won't freelance decisions. @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov What do you have planned ?

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

Good morning I have this sane sick feeling

The grift continues as online betting market Kalshi hires Donald Trump Jr.! The legislation I introduced months ago with Senator Merkley and @salinas.house.gov would protect the integrity of our democracy by banning election betting altogether.

"In Iraq, I had the expectation that at any moment I could be killed by the enemy. But on January 6th, that feeling was constant. It was the longest day of my life, with more than forty people assaulting me." U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell tells his January 6 story:

Over the years, Jimmy Carter wrote many op-eds and essays for The Washington Post, on topics ranging from foreign policy to the environment. Here are 7 Carter opeds that particularly resonate atoday. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.
