What pro-democracy group to donate to, who is filing lawsuits against Musk & his henchmen taking over government agencies, personnel and payment systems? Public Citizen? Who do you think is most effective?

Texas folks, If you oppose using public funds on private schools, call your Texas Senator

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

Texas folks, Call you TX senator and tell them you oppose SB2, the voucher bill with the billion $ price tag. Don’t know who represents you? Go here: wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home

Reminder: Voucher scams don’t help low-income families, don’t improve academic outcomes, and harm rural and underserved students. That’s what Abbott and Texas Republicans want to spend $1 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on. 🤡 #txlege #txed

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.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is a longtime friend of RFK, Jr. and reportedly has not yet committed to voting against him. Personal friendship are not relevant to whether a nut job like RFK, Jr. is qualified. Call Whitehouse: 202-224-2921 Or message: whitehouse.senate.gov/contact/email-sheldon

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

So the Dems are aligned in using the Hegspeth allegations to oppose him. Dumb. The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how. And this is what the Dems focus on ?

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

The 15 biggest winners of Trump’s tax scam—including Amazon, Walmart, and Meta—raked in a collective $97.5 billion in tax breaks over four years. They then funneled $839 billion into stock buybacks and dividends to enrich themselves. Corporate tax cuts don’t trickle down!

Shout-out to The Bulwark’s JVL for planting this idea

Two billionaires are trying to take over our state government. They’ve bought the Governor. They’ve bought the Attorney General. They’ve bought the State Senate. Now they’re trying to buy the State House. Texas is too big and too great to be sold to the highest bidder.

Senate confirmation hearing start today. Email your US senators and tell them to use their power to reject Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth and Robert KenneyJr. Texas people, contact Sen. John Cornyn www.cornyn.senate.gov/share-opinion/ Sen. Ted Cruz www.cruz.senate.gov/contact/writ...

Truly bizarre how the media stopped talking about how shitty and batshit nuts Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr and Tulsi were since the shitty, batshit nuts Felon 47 started threatening Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. STAY FOCUSED. 🤨

Join our SOCIAL STORM now! The House GOP made it official: the SAVE Act is a top priority. But, nearly 1 in 10 voting-age Americans can't easily prove their citizenship. This act is about suppressing votes & maintaining power. 😡 #StopTheSAVEAct Toolkit social.demcast.com/toolkit/stop...

The GOP's latest attempt to suppress votes: the SAVE Act. This bill would require citizens to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, disproportionately affecting the elderly and women who've changed their names. #StopTheSAVEAct

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is leading the charge to protect Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act against the onslaught from Republicans in Congress and the Trump White House. Register here for the kickoff event. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

NEW: I spoke w/ @genefortexas.bsky.social and others about the status of school choice legislation, as we are just days away from the start of #txlege Wu indicated that vouchers may be in more turmoil than the GOP is letting on. www.chron.com/politics/art...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

An important point.

Can we fix America’s healthcare system?

yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...

Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
