SHAMEFUL 🤬🤬🤬

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

All under Trump's watch.

If Leon found evidence of waste and fraud, don’t you think he would be sharing the EVIDENCE EVERYWHERE? He is a reckless liar who is stealing from YOU and fulfilling his revenge fantasies on the institutions in our government who are INVESTIGATING HIM.

Please sign up for a strike card. A GENERAL STRIKE IS WHEN WORKING PEOPLE REFUSE THEIR LABOR UNTIL our demands are met. When 3.5% of the population/11M sign up, & to make real change, we will strike together to send a powerful message that we will not put up with the wealthy hoarding our $$ &power.

Musk's companies have received BILLIONS of $$ from govt contracts & subsidies. 🔥Now the State Dept is planning to buy $400M worth of armored Teslas. Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST? 🗣️Nicely drop this gem of a truth bomb on someone who doesn't follow news. www.businessinsider.com/state-depart...

Egypt says No Where are the Palestinians supposed to go? And Trump truly doesn't care Two words Ethnic Cleansing

If the Republicans confirm Tulsi Gabbard, Trump will have succeeded in completely emasculating & humiliating them. Not only is she grossly unqualified, she is profoundly dangerous. We will be abandoned by our intelligence partners and the GOP is fully aware of this fact. They have betrayed us.

Day 76 of nonstop protests in Georgia. ( đź“ą@publikage.bsky.social ) #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #GeorgiaProtests

Here’s some of the things we did at @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social today.

How's this for waste, fraud and abuse?

BREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group.

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to restore CDC, FDA and HHS webpages that Trump had ordered to be deleted. This comes after doctors sued the Trump administration for interfering with their treatment of patients.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

This is exactly what we need! AG William Tong (D-CT) and other states are suing Trump and the Secretary of Treasury to block DOGE’s access to confidential records, sensitive data, and critical payment systems. “This represents the biggest data breach in American history, and we are fighting back.”

As judges increasingly block Trump orders they deem potentially illegal or unconstitutional, Trump, Vance and Musk go on the offense and raise the question of whether they will ultimately defy the courts. @charliesavage.bsky.social Minho Kim www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

The Department of Energy on Friday tried to clarify why one of Elon Musk’s DOGE underlings was granted access to the department’s I.T. systems despite opposition from its general counsel and cybersecurity offices.

Campaign for Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) ammended its 2024 Q3 report, disclosing an additional $198,000 in spending. FEC wants to know why those disbursements were missed on the first submission. docquery.fec.gov/pdf/743/2025...

Cambodia has denied re-entry to a journalist who had reported on illegal logging and dubious carbon offsetting efforts in the country. The move comes amid a broader crackdown on journalists and environmental activists in the country. By @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social for @mongabay.bsky.social…

1. EXCLUSIVE Today, the NSA is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion," a NSA source tells Popular Information. The massive purge is creating chaos, taking down "mission-related" work

Former Secretaries of the Treasury say US democracy is under siege ... from barbarians inside the gate.

Keep going researchers and writers! We need the National Nature Assessment to be published. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

@rbhubbell.bsky.social says it’s time for the Dem MOC to implement a Shadow Cabinet. @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been sounding the alarm to do this. Robert’s suggestions who should be on it are in his article. We can add to it. @repjasmine.bsky.social comes to mind. Let’s do this! 202-224-3121.

The resistance, scientist division. “This work is too important to die.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

My senator seems like the only member of his chamber who is expressing the alarm and outrage that this moment requires (and doing a great job on Insta, also). Where is everyone else???

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The USAID makes up .5% of the National budget. A half percent... Go after military spending and defense contracts. That's where all the money is going.

Updated story: the judge convened a videoconference hearing and granted the order within an hour of the filing - during the Super Bowl. Not sure I have ever heard of a court moving that fast.

Medicaid currently insures and protects nearly 80 million Americans. Trump and Musk are pushing a terrifying agenda to gut Medicaid — to feed the insatiable greed of the most privileged in America. Trump’s tax cuts will deliver the greatest benefit to the wealthiest 5 percent of…
