Here's some planned boycotts. Please repost. I know some people only have access to certain stores. Please participate in the one day boycott on February 28.

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling. He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

Congress is meant to be a check on Presidential abuse of power—it’s the way our democratic system of checks & balances works. It’s time for Republicans to say “enough” and stand with the people they represent and against the corruption & lawlessness we’ve seen from Trump & Elon.

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Over the last few days, the American people have felt the painful consequences of Trump’s disastrous funding freeze—all of which is a result of having a president who is more focused on the billionaires who now fill his administration, than regular people.

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class. The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school. This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

After the intense outcry from the American people, Trump has admitted his freeze on federal funding was a colossal mistake by rescinding the guidance—but the threat, chaos, & panic can't just be wiped away. There's still a lot of work to do to ensure funds get where they belong.

Donald Trump’s order to halt federal assistance will have deeply destructive consequences for recovery efforts, law enforcement funding, health care access, and much more. This will hurt every community across the country – red, blue, rural, urban, and everything in between.

Senate Democrats stand with the Capitol Police officers who put themselves in harm's way to protect us during the insurrection. By blocking our very simple resolution today, Senate Republicans made clear they do not.

President Trump's lawless federal grant freeze attacks critical public services that we all depend on. Their assault on civil society now threatens fire safety, school lunches, disaster relief, cancer research, law enforcement and more. We will fight to resolve this constitutional crisis.

Trump denied knowing about Project 2025, but his move to illegally block federal funding comes right from it. Russ Vought, lead author of Project 2025 and OMB nominee, wouldn't answer my question on if he would follow the law. Republicans shouldn't advance his nomination.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my resolution that simply condemns pardons for dangerous criminals convicted of attacking Capitol Police officers. It's outrageous that we can’t all agree to stand with the people who kept us safe, over violent insurrectionists.

Donald Trump gave us a bunch of broken promises—oh, sorry, I mean lies—and now we’re all stuck paying for it. Rule of law is being TRAMPLED, families are being TORN APART, and it's only been a WEEK. Is there a grade lower than an F?

President Trump has been clear he intends to pursue mass deportations. We must be prepared to support the families who will be torn apart. I created a rapid response team today to do just that: governor.wa.gov/news/2025/go...

Republicans ran on working to lower costs for families—but their first weeks in power have shown they couldn’t care less about any of that. Instead they spent more time attacking women & lying about abortion. This is not what the American people want or were promised.

This is the Ben & Jerry’s video that has folks talking and MAGA losing their shit! We need to support @benandjerrys y’all, because we don’t ever want them to “stick to just the ice cream”. 👀

WHO DID THIS!

Republicans want to extend the Trump tax cuts to line the pockets of their billionaire friends rather than invest in what really matters to working families: affordable child care, quality health care, & making our communities safer. Repost if you agree they've got it backward.

The Laken Riley Act would cost up to $83 billion in the first 3 years to implement—more than DHS's entire annual budget. That’s a lot of money to spend on a bill that'll cause chaos, punish legal immigrants, & undermine due process—while drawing resources away from true threats.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Repost if you agree that none of the 72 million Americans on Medicaid should lose their health care so that Republicans can pass giant tax cuts for billionaires and mega corporations.

Musk is just that pathetic.

In contrast, the Facebook founder said he’s “optimistic” about President-elect Donald Trump taking the White House. “I think he just wants America to win,” Zuckerberg said.

👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its OWN COUNTRY. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland 4 Praxis. In Dec, Trump named Thiel partner Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark & said the US shld buy Greenland. Praxis & Dryden are thrilled...1/

Oh, honey . . . not so "deep undercover at Bluesky" now. The Bluesky account is @therealblueskylibs.bsky.social and I just blocked it. I encourage you to do the same. The account this nasty person uses on Twitter to childishly mock screen-caps of progressive posts on Bluesky is here:

Elon Musk is Trump’s current boy but Jeff Bezos is making a run to be primary boy. A Melania movie by Amazon? What’s the theme? www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/01/...

They should arrest him.

Lt. Gen. Honoré: Elon Musk is a national security risk. "If the federal [probes] demonstrate deep connections to China and Russia, the federal gov't should consider revoking Musk's security clearance. It should already be thinking about using alternatives to SpaceX." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o...

“Upon not enrolling [in college], [Elon] Musk would have had to leave the country…He would not have been allowed to work. While overstaying a student visa is somewhat common and officials have at times turned a blind eye to it, it remains illegal.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

There is a lot going on, and it's hard to keep track. Many thanks to @p-hunermund.com for highlighting this AfD endorsement column by ... Elon Musk. (About Paul: p-hunermund.com)

He bought Twitter and turned it into a cesspool. He's one of most dangerous amplifiers of disinformation on the planet. He bought the Presidency. He attacks anyone who disagrees with him with bots, trolls and censorship. Why would anyone want to insult him? 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Elon Musk is supporting a far-right party suspected of extremism by Germany’s own courts & intelligence officials; a party too extreme even for Marine Le Pen; a party filled with people who meet with, defend, & quote Nazis." My latest, with receipts on the AfD that Musk doesn't want you to see:

Even BiBi knows Elon is the unofficial President of the U.S.
