Just found out, both the House and Senate will be on break on Friday and Monday for Presidents’ Day. Called my reps and told them we’re in a constitutional crisis and that’s like taking a couple days off in the midst of Pearl Harbor. Hey Congress, no breaks until DOGE is out. www.5calls.org

People often ask what Democrats are doing to resist Donald Trump in this moment. One shining example is California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is taking on Trump in the courts...and winning. The Big Picture spoke with him about his efforts to resist Trump.

It's nice to be able to post this story and not get banned. Apparently that's only something you have to worry about on real "free speech" platforms!

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible. This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few days taking stock. Very much unlike 2016, I feel neither despair nor paralysis. Instead, I shift between a clear-eyed detachment and a grim determination. My latest: www.marytrump.org/p/dont-let-t...

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts. How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them? By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs. Trickle up economics.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Does everyone in Trump’s orbit go to the same plastic surgeon? Is there like ‘The Guy’ that does the ‘MAGA look’?

This is a shocking bill designed to crush Democracy and dissent. It will give Trump the ability to declare any non profit a terror supporting organization and shut them down. If you missed this, now you know. This must be stopped now! theintercept.com/2024/11/10/t...

Sorry, I don't care if I'm in an echo chamber. It's fucking Saturday. I don't need to be confronted with endless transphobia and "just asking questions" folks when all I want is to laugh at some stupid jokes while I eat Reese's pancakes and ignore my family.

So we are already at that stage where Trump creates make-believe cabinet departments based on meme cryptocurrency and gives a Fox host our nuclear codes to lead the Pentagon?
