"The vocal crowd rose to its feet repeatedly during a one-hour town hall ... [Warren] said, her voice growing hoarse. “We do not want an America that says a handful of rich folks are better than everyone else. We want an America that works for all of us, and we are willing to fight for it.”

I really love his explanations….

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Protests are taking place all over the country tonight against cuts to vital federal services. Here in Washington, people are marching to SpaceX’s offices demanding Musk be ousted from the government.

Every god damned Democratic leader making a speech should just copy some version of this. Say what is happening, say who’s doing it, show that you’re angry.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Yes Kaitlin…..where does that lead you?

I’m pleased to be mentioned in Adam Sandler’s original Hanukah Song, & this song was a high point of the SNL 50th.

Knowledge is power…

That's our 🐐 #30! #DubNation #NBA

While Elon Musk benefits from billions of dollars in government contracts, thousands of federal workers are now jobless just three weeks into Trump's second term. @katiephang.bsky.social kicks off the #KatiePhangShow with the latest. Tune in now! @msnbc.com

Remember last year when John Oliver did a whole episode warning us about Project 2025 and thoroughly described ALL of the disastrous shit that's happening right now - Russell Vought, impoundment, massive firings, Schedule F, etc... youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s?...

Bill Russell’s high school is falling apart. Can a Steph Curry-funded gym help save it?

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Congressional Democrats, PLEASE, I’m begging you…do this! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedem.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

This says it all

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

The oppressive feeling of the pamir plateau

Jacobs: It's so funny to me that my colleagues on the other side spent 30 minutes talking about how we don't want unelected bureaucrats making these rules when they're literally allowing a unelected Elon Musk run roughshod over congress' power of the purse

Good morning Bluesky

Excited……

Crockett: While he was stopping money… somehow the only money that didn’t stop was the money going to his organization. I don’t know you can have him be watchdog as well as the guy living off of the government. If you want to talk about government welfare, it looks like Elon Musk

“I can imagine a world in which the economy goes bad and Trump convinces an advantageously distributed 48 percent of voters that actually, it’s actually great. Or if it is bad, then it’s the fault of woke, DEI, radical-leftist trans illegal immigrants.” @jvl.bsky.social

Captain: I'm really nervous about giving this speech. Sun, rubbing his shoulders: Don't worry, big guy. You got this.

When your baby comes out like a 43 year old man and you're like wtf

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

California is providing over $2.5 billion in immediate relief to expedite firestorm response and recovery efforts. We're standing with Angelenos every step of the way throughout the recovery and rebuilding process.

People often ask what Democrats are doing to resist Donald Trump in this moment. One shining example is California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is taking on Trump in the courts...and winning. The Big Picture spoke with him about his efforts to resist Trump.

that’s right.
