This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

We had friends & allies around the world based on alliances & relationships that were built over many decades. In one month, Trump has torched them all. Now our friends are Putin, Orban, the crypto scammer in Argentina, and the guy in El Salvador offering us mercenary prisons.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

This is just awful. I’m trying to be patient but holy shit Democrats, what are you even doing? I got a fundraiser today from the DGA about how PBS is under attack. Are you fucking kidding me? Fire all of the consultants you have. Start over. DM me.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Pete Hogslop is a domestic violence offender & a sexual assaulter. He heads the most lethal fighting force on earth. He wants it to function without rule of law. When Trump unleashes it on We The People we must pray the soldiers stand by us or we are doomed! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

"The term DEI, frequently invoked by the Trump administration, functions as a smoke screen" read @adamserwer.bsky.social on the real goals of the 'anti-DEI' rhetoric www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

A good discussion (I think!) of the significance of last night’s purge—on top of everything else that’s going on. BLUF: Be alarmed. Be very alarmed. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fire...

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Amen to that.

Rude, but funny as hell. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

He nails it.

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.

"The AP therefore brings this action to vindicate its rights to the editorial independence guaranteed by the United States Constitution and to prevent the Executive Branch from coercing journalists to report the news using only government-approved language" www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/m...

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Every governor in this meeting should have stood up and walked out.

Maine Gov. “See you in court”. Trump is such an immature asshole!! apple.news/AhYNavrgTTh-...

Sounds right ✅️ 💥

Zelenskyy is not a dictator. Putin is. And Trump wants to be.

Today marks 64th anniversary of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960) A novel containing truths so universal they bear repeating in 2025 “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

Fix ane expand Social Security! No hard to do and should be done! Raise the income limit on payroll tax. youtube.com/live/VTO3XDt...

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

First amendment under fire!! @sanders.senate.gov youtube.com/shorts/1kYTg...

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Republican allegations that the FBI has been "corrupted" and "politicized" boil down to this: they are upset that the FBI investigated Donald Trump, who is, after all, a notorious criminal.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

The truth from @sanders.senate.gov about Putin and Trump. Thanks for standing up!! youtu.be/rKBM2kS6B8o?...

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
