You might want to have a drink before you watch this. šŸ‘€

This hits hard.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They donā€™t care about whatā€™s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

The family values party.

šŸšØBREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us ā€” Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens ā€” must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

Global support for Ukraine: 78 countries, 651 cities hosting 981 events from Feb 22-24, aiming to highlight the ongoing war, its consequences from Russia's invasion, and rally for increased support and pressure on Russia to end conflict and restore Ukraine's territories.

Elon Musk should be nowhere near the federal government. Repost if you agree.

Folks are asking, ā€œwhat should I do in this moment?ā€ One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Hereā€™s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Fresh out of prison after Trumpā€™s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

Which can only mean one thing to Trump: it is Bidenā€™s fault

Thereā€™s something happening in this country.

šŸšØ Trumpā€™s DOGE purge just made Veteransā€™ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov ā€”leaving millions of Veteransā€™ medical & personal records exposed. This isnā€™t efficiency. Itā€™s reckless and dangerous.

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trumpā€™s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

šŸ“¢Veterans, now is the time to raise hell! While Trump & Musk fire critical VA staff, House Republicans are rushing through bills to GUT Veteransā€™ care. They think no one will fight back. Prove them wrong. Speak out. Spread the word. MORE: www.military.com/daily-news/o...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Republicans are weaponizing the language of care to strip away rights, reshape the state, and remake Utah in the image of their authoritarian vision. That's why we were formed. We are going to turn Utah blue, one vote at a time. Are you with us?

If you de-zoot the toots here, heā€™s saying he spent $44b on twitter as part of his right wing political projectā€”which is both obvious and something you canā€™t say in the newspaper.

know one thing, Trump isnā€™t going to dig Elonā€™s 34% approval rating dragging his ass underwater like an anchor indefinitely. Because that anchor is firmly attached to Trump.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trumpā€™s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

šŸšØ Scoop: Treasury Dept agrees to block DOGE access to personal taxpayer data at IRS šŸšØ IRS was preparing to try to reject this request, but was able to negotiate with the Trump admin to narrow access. Now DOGE will get the same access as academic researchers and some IT professionals, per sources.
