Forever energy when someone says they support tRump 🖕🏽

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Today I canceled my WaPo subscription and my Amazon Prime membership. We have to hit them in the wallet if we want change.

Five things I did this week… 1. Promoted public education 2. Helped candidates get on the ballot in PA 3. Did NOT ignore my children 4. Ate Girl Scout cookies 5. Saw an International film about dictatorship in Brazil.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

A statement from the Kennedy Center

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Today I am announcing my campaign for County Council, District 3.

Tina Smith: "I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about what's happening at the US Treasury tonight, and it seems to be entirely possible that he's trying to distract us all from the ransacking of the Treasury Department's federal payment system that is going on right now under the thumb of Elon Musk."

How about the media asks Republicans what they are going to do about an unelected billionaire accessing our private info and breaking the law??

If I scheduled a general strike to take place on the 5th of every month, would you be willing to participate?

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY ✋🏽

@dscc.bsky.social you need to file lawsuits every time Trump puts a hold on funds allocated by Congress! No wait and see, ACT!!

If Lisa Murkowski can say no to Hegseth what is wrong with Joni Ernst??

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

REP. MCGOVERN: “I don’t ever want to hear about law and order from your side again.”

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

I’d like to know if other nominees for Sec of Defense have refused to meet with the minority party members before hearings?

from @janemayer.bsky.social, on the campaign to intimidate the Senate into confirming an unqualified Defense Secretary Maybe the best article yet written about the tactics the new administration will use to control Congress, the government and the media. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Sound about right.

Periodic reminder that nobody gives a shit what Joe Manchin thinks about anything ever

IF DEMS NOMINATED PEOPLE W/THESE CHARGES “If a Democratic president…had presented a roster of nominees who had these kinds of charges against them, we know that the Republicans on the other side of the aisle… would be calling people in front of committees to demand an explanation…” Michelle Norris

Accurate.

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

Abbott elementary starts at 8pm this week with an hour long special. Please spread the word! 🎄 🫡
