Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Now of all times Susan Collins picks to support Tulsi Gabbard, an unfit and dangerous nominee. Collins is the worst judge of character and ability I have ever witnessed. Everyone from Kavanaugh to Gabbard gets her ok. Maine- kick her out in 2026

Senator Bill #Cassidy owns this nomination now. As a physician he broke his oath to do no harm, his duty to serve the citizens of his state and this country. Every #measles case, every #mumps case, every #pertussis case is Senator Cassidy's now. This is his legacy of cowardice.

RFK Jr. is a danger to public health. Every Republican senator who votes yes will own the consequences. When RFK Jr. follows anti-vax conspiracies instead of science, when he greenlights Trump's anti-abortion agenda, when he cuts healthcare for seniors — remember who voted yes.

Cassidy violated his oath: First, do no harm. RFK Jr. snowed him on his dangerous and longstanding vaccine opposition. Cassidy knows this. He chickened out. Sad.

Some NIH study sections for tomorrow have just been canceled. Who knows which of these grants would have led to the next life-saving invention. Who knows which scientists will throw in the towel bc of funding delays. Who can even begin to measure the impact of these reckless cancellations.😕🩺🧪🛟

You did not vote to give Elon Musk your social security number. We must go to the courts (that’s in the works) and use the leverage House Democrats have to stop this madness. Republicans can’t pass anything without us. Let’s flex.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Chris Van Hollen goes hard at Elon Musk. "This has nothing to do with making the U.S. government more efficient and everything to do with aiding and abetting our adversaries." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Rep. Jamie Raskin: "Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States Congress did for the American people. And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are!"

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump. That leaves only the courts. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cour...

Federally funded researchers may be forced to remove terms from their research, like gender. "If no data exist to prove that a health issue concentrates within a particular community, that provides a justification to cut funding," writes Katherine Wu. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Trump fires elite federal law enforcement officers to make room for criminals. Consequently, the corrupt will prosper and evade prosecution, the virtuous will be investigated, and all will be extorted and corrupted.
