One of the most underrated cultural divides in America is between people who know and care what motion smoothing is and people who still don't. The anti-smoothers went for Kamala by 20 points, minimum.

If you want to get a sense of the mood out there, apparently this song from last century is going viral (Yes, the same band that famously did "Tubthumper")

Holy shit we must protect this man at all costs

In other words, DOGE is full of shit. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Jesus fucking christ.

Sorry it's not Artscape then #placematters www.baltimoresun.com/2025/02/14/a...

And with that, Artscape is officially dead to me.

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

USAID’s inspector general—presumably operating from a remote base in the mountains—has just released a report on the staggering effect of the Trump Administration’s assault on the agency. oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...

Trump officials have misled about how the aid agency is spending its funding, in an effort to cite widespread “waste.” Actually only eight percent goes for administration. @altusaid.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Buckle up everyone this is going to be a LONG thread but if you are a current Fed you are going to want to bookmark it because it’s the roadmap for what’s coming. #SaveUSAID #SaveAmerica 1/

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.bsky.social files federal lawsuit to block Trump's illegal plan to slash USAID workforce. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news. www.democracydocket.com

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

“America's adversaries cheer Trump admin's USAID teardown” That headline says it all.

The attacks on federal employees and agencies are hurting Americans. We need to keep reminding folks that this chaos has serious consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC: I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment. Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that. No plan, no donation.

NEW: "The order stems from a lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward and a coalition of nonprofits, public health organizations and small businesses seeking to block guidance from the Trump administration that effectively pauses all federal funding via agency grants and loans."

Elon Musk's wrecking ball now swings at USAID, vaporizing humanitarian assistance, putting countless lives at risk, threatening to topple America's economic and moral standing and emboldening autocrats around the world. Stand strong for our top humanitarian aid agency.

In a win for communities nationwide, a judge blocked the Trump federal funding freeze. "This order is a lifeline that provides the breathing room needed for our clients to continue to provide services people across this country rely on,” @skyeperryman.bsky.social, CEO of Democracy Forward. (1/2)

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Our people across #MD08 are rightly demanding answers about President Trump's systematic destruction of federal programs and the civil service. Federal workers—I'm convening a webinar on the latest developments and resources to fight back. Sign up to gain access upon its release:
