Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important. He should be fired immediately.

I don't think this guy gets just how tired Democrats are of weak leadership. Hey Chuck Schumer... We're done with you.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

We need an opposition party to an authoritarian regime, Democrats think they are a minority party within a democracy.

Trump, who has ejected the Associated Press from White House events because they won't call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America & who today called for criminalizing student speech at protests claims to have brought back free speech in America

Every single fucking Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the goddamn economy. How many times are we going to let this happen?

Donald Trump screeching about Hunter Biden’s laptop in his meeting with Zelenskyy is pathetic. He’s a joke.

Tomorrow (and everyday) would be a great day to support Small/Local Businesses. Pay with cash but no credit cards in solidarity with the economic blackout. They can’t afford to lose sales. They’re the backbone to your community. With Love, A Small Business Owner 🩵

"It’s craven. He’s basically fearful of Trump." Marty Baron, former executive editor of the Washington Post, interprets what Jeff Bazos announced this morning. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Thanks to the Texas Anti-Vaccination lobbyists, the Texas K-12 Personal Belief Exemption has skyrocketed in past 20 years ⬇️ and now Texas is at risk of loosing the “herd immunity” against MEASLES, which kills most often by pneumonia. 😡 #GregAbbottFailsTexasAgain #RobertFKennedyJrFailsAmerica !

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

More members are joining us from both chambers, we'll be there on the west side (14th St NW) at 1:00

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I'd like to think that the party that controls 49% of the Congress would be doing more to protect American democracy than a bunch of professors on Blue Sky and the prime minister of Canada

Um, hi. Congressional Democrats, exactly WHAT IN THE FUCK (!!!!) ARE YOU DOING?! Can we PLEASE wake up and get this foreign actor the God fearing fuck out of our government?! What exactly are you waiting for? Here is your actual formal invite to this fight. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Morning! In the name of democracy, here's a list of things to do today: 1. Call your senators & reps w/ real stories about how the admin's actions impact you & people you care about 2. Do something that makes you smile Take action. Find joy. Protect democracy. h/t: @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Should be huge news. Trump said he wants to punish drug cartels so he releases the man who creates an international drug trafficking ring on the dark web. How Trump Was Persuaded to Pardon an Online Drug Kingpin www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/t...

We shall overcome 💙

Jimmy Carter built houses for the poor. Donald Trump exploited illegal immigrants to build condos for the rich. Be like Jimmy.

She took on a plastics manufacturing giant in court and got a $50 million trust fund as a settlement. She's using the money to revive fishing along her beloved stretch of the Texas Gulf Coast. Amazing story from @dylanbaddour.bsky.social @insideclimatenews.org insideclimatenews.org/news/2412202...

Put another way, if just 115,000 had voted for her instead of him across 3 states, we wouldn’t be looking at the death of the FDIC, USPS, NATO and the rule of law.

I don’t think a United States senator saying this should be taken lightly

Trump’s previous Surgeon General.

In light of Trump’s statement that he will declare a national emergency, I’m re-upping my latest piece, The Truth. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

202-225-7103 The main line is open for the Ethics Committee and they're taking comments on whether the report on Gaetz should be released. You know what to do. #trnt #releasethereport #mattgaetz #ethicscommittee

#ReleaseTheReport

Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.

Donald Trump got less than 50% of the votes. Which means that the majority of people voted against him. 🍿
