We want Democrats to play hardball and use their leverage to stop the Trump-Musk coup.

Tell Schumer and every Dem NO on CR

100% this!!!! 👇👇

thered be calls for impeachment if a dem did this

Corruption. In five parts. – Musk spends $290M to elect Trump and other Republicans – Trump gives Musk control of the executive branch – Musk dismantles the agencies that regulate his companies – Trump does a commercial for a struggling Musk company – Musk donates another $100M to Trump

BREAKING: Unions representing federal workers file an emergency motion to block the Trump administration from illegally destroying classified USAID records.

Common decency isn’t a far left position.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

This CNN piece today is really good clear succinct. In plain language with examples of impacts. Musk and his DOGE team at Social Security are driving the agency to total system collapse. www.cnn.com/2025/03/08/p...

Imagine if the most prominent member of the Biden administration had reposted, in agreement, someone calling a prominent GOP senator a ‘retard’. Would have been the end of the world, biggest scandal ever. The asymmetry in American politics continues to grow. Just wild to see.

Colbert nails it

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

Something to bookmark: Potash is essential for modern agriculture. **Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*. {gift link}

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

"Most of EPA’s work happens behind the scenes, like when one of its enforcement teams raided a warehouse in Colorado full of mislabeled oil barrels that had been prepared for a landfill and discovered they contained nuclear waste..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

Anyone who tells you you're overreacting is underreacting.

I think Trump might’ve lost Dave.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

Breaking: FDA's March meeting to select flu shot strains for 2025-2026 season has been canceled per email sent to committee members, a VRBPAC member told me. drug companies need about 6 months leeway to make shots in time for fall vax campaigns. #healthpolicy

Duckworth: "Donald Trump has fired more veterans than any other president in our recent history. This has to stop, because these are hard-working people."

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

This needs to be amplified.

Well this is literally not legal so lololol insanity

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Tim Burchett votes yes. massive cuts to health care for poor folks — all to set up massive tax cuts for the rich. They never cared about the debt.

Democratic Whip Katherine Clark to House Dems: "House Republicans are trying to jam through their Budget Resolution after assuring House Democrats that there would be no further votes this evening. "

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."
