Hitler said Jews were a threat to children, to the economy, to the "greatness" of the nation. Most now recognize those were lies, and yet millions are now somehow saying to themselves, "But THIS TIME it's true; trans people & immigrants really all are bad & deserving of cruelty."

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

The Executive Branch (POTUS), the Legislative Branch (Congress), & the Judicial Branch are the 3 CO-EQUAL parts of the US Govt laid out in the Constitution. They are supposed to check & balance each other. It's the WHOLE ENTIRE JOB of the Judiciary to decide what is or is not legal/Constitutional.

Bloomberg is reporting that federal workers tasked with approving medical devices for Medicare have reportedly received termination notices. As a wheelchair user who also uses some other assistive devices (canes, shower chairs, that sort of thing) I want to add some context to this.

REPUBLICANS ARE SUING TO END DISABILITY RIGHTS. I wish I were exaggerating. Of course they're pretending it's "just" hating on trans people, so please remember to stand up for trans people as part of your action against this! They need everyone to fight for them! open.substack.com/pub/zackoryk...

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.

1. Stay engaged When all the news is about Trump and pardons and lies, it is easy to want to retreat and stop paying attention. Don’t. It is precisely when things are hard that we must all lean into remaining vigilant and informed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

"With many conservatives salivating at the thought of judges who are even more conservative, agenda-driven and loyal to Trump than those appointed in the first term, there is no room to give a single nominee the benefit of the doubt."
