2019 - Trump attempted to shake down Zelensky. 2025 - Trump is attempting to shake down Zelensky.

Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Chuckling at Gorsuch's dissent (joined by Alito) in the Special Counsel case, where the majority kicked the can a few days. "Apparently?" Based on an 1898 case? You're making a ridiculous 'originalist' argument that renders courts powerless and you don't have better cites? C'mon, man.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

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

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

Call today to let your Congressman know what you think about Elon Musk’s DOGE and its slash-and-burn cuts to the federal workforce and vital government programs. Leave a message if necessary. YOUR CALLS REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ☎️

And it's going to get much worse!

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

He nails it.

As a child of Nazi concentration camp survivors, I hope all the Jews, who voted for Trump, appreciate the Nazi salutes from two of his most trusted advisors. I know sometimes it is hard to see the forest with the trees, but how naïve and gullible can you be.

“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.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The coup/purge continues, who’ll be next? Trump fires chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/trum...

Today, I focus on the Dream of 👑 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 👑 I believe in this man’s Dream because it is my Dream too. I pray for that Dream. I pray for others to experience that Dream. A Dream of equality 🟰 and justice ⚖️. A Dream of hope 🙏🏼 , not just for DeRepublic 🇺🇸, but for the world 🌎 🌍 🌏

There’s nothing about decimating scientific research that “makes America great again”. It does make us less safe & kill US innovations.

Remember “I don’t need your vote” and “you will never have to vote again”. Boom 👇🏼

Last night, Orange Taint said “Medicare, Medicaid- none of that stuff is going to be touched.” This morning, he endorsed the House GOP budget which included 100s of billions cut to Medicaid & ACA. The bill cuts $2T from SS, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Vet Services. That’s straight from P2025.
