@schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov why is the messaging “tax cuts for billionaires”? Is that actually working for the people not paying attention? It feels like you’re desperately missing the moment

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

“Dropping the sledgehammer, Kornet! And not a lot of people have said that!” Kevin Harlan brought his A-game tonight.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers. apnews.com/article/doge...

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

This is not ok! Why are we not hearing Congressional reps all over the place screaming about this?! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @repchrispappas.bsky.social @shaheen.senate.gov @repgoodlander.bsky.social

😂💀

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

US conservatives: "You can't take down Confederate monuments and rename schools! That erases history! Even uncomfortable history is worth remembering!!" Also US conservatives: "We removed trans people from the Stonewall monument because they're a part of history we want to erase."

It's almost more galling that McConnell, who single-handedly could have stopped all this, is now making final feeble pointless no votes. I really despise that guy.

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Two New Hampshire high school students have filed what appears to be the first court challenge to President Trump’s transgender sports ban. The same transgender girls are fighting the state’s version of the ban in federal court — with some success.

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

popular.info/p/breaking-n... David Super, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and an expert on administrative law, told Popular Information that the Trump administration was "in contempt of court" and the continued funding freeze at NIH was "completely unlawful." The fight continues...

Now we know what the price of the prisoner release was yesterday. Didn't even take 24 hours for Trump to pay up.

Google Maps Is Deleting Negative Reviews Left for “Gulf of America” 1 star reviews of Trump’s rename attempt are vanishing

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Update: I now use Apple Maps #googlemaps #gulfofmexico

The ordinarily cautious and conservative ABA is blowing the whistle: The break-the-glass moment has arrived. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

Terrifying attitude

SHARE THE NEWS There will be an economic blackout Feb 28 nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business. Do not use Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out! We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies.

NIH has announced major cuts. Medical and scientific research across the country will be badly damaged, affecting America's ability to innovate well into the future.

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.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
