Norwell is proud of @keating.house.gov @billkeating.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Trump just gutted the Department of Education, slashing its workforce in half overnight. This is an attack on students, teachers, and public schools. Education should be strengthened, not dismantled. We must fight back.

Great! We have a Ketamine addict in charge of DOGE, a heroin addict as the secretary of health, an alcoholic in charge of our defense and a Russian sympathizer in charge of national intelligence. What could go wrong?

🔥 ICYMI: “Thank you, Madam Chair.” Rep. Sarah Mcbride’s perfect response as Keith Self calls her “Mister McBride” — then adjourns and storms off when Rep. Keating comes to her defense.

We are so proud to be represented by @keating.house.gov @billkeating.bsky.social !

Steve Liesman, CNBC’s senior economics reporter: "I am going to say this at the risk of losing my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane… Now he’s saying he’s putting 50 per cent tariffs on Canada unless they agree to become the 51st state. That is insane.”

Part of Republican’s goal of “Tax cuts & Terminations” is eliminating union jobs & cutting services that are for the common good so they can cut taxes for the rich & privatize public services to give control & profits to their donors. They don't care if the rest of us suffer.

Trump is using the immense power of the federal government to bully two high school girls. There are not enough words in the English language for me to explain how despicable this is.

1. Finally some fight. "Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly. McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman." Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Some good news…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Amplify this.

Worth repeating:

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

Look, it’s simple: If Trump rolls out of bed & sees his shadow, then we have tariffs on Canada & Mexico If he doesn’t see his shadow, no tarriffs If the shadow is at a right angle, tariffs on Canada only left angle, Mexico if JD Vance pops out & spooks him, tariffs on us, somehow?

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Trump is scared of the stock market. Still doesn’t care that his broad tariffs will make it harder for you to pay your bills. And the uncertainty and the back and forth is just making our country unstable.

Chaos. Confusion. Uncertainty. Fear. Those are the hallmarks of this administration just one month in. The incompetence of Trump and his toadies are causing a recession faster than ever. This is a recession made in America. But Russia and North Korea couldn’t have done it any better. #Trumpcession

He’s doing it for free? Nope. Follow the money and see where it goes. Elon Musk is spearheading the overhaul of the $42 billion broadband program—directly benefiting himself and Starlink.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. (...) We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor" #3E #EndOligarchy

I’m proud to be endorsed by Congressman @tedlieu.bsky.social — he understands that we need more educators in Congress and I couldn’t be prouder to have him on our team. When I’m in Congress, I’ll work side by side with Rep. Lieu to protect and expand Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

I imagine they'll be translating President Trump's speech into Russian which shouldn't be hard because that was the language it was drafted in. A Moscow spokesperson states the obvious: the Trump-Vance agenda "largely aligns" with the Kremlin.

Normally a state dissolving like this is the result of a devastating war of invasion, I've never seen a world power dismantle itself because jet ski dealers were mad they heard people speaking Spanish in front of them at the Target checkout line.

Elon Is Stealing From You. This isn't complicated or clever. He bought the Oval Office to direct taxpayer cash into his own pockets. Scooby Doo villain level stuff.

Trump dumps on veterans. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

It bears repeating.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

We have a puppet of Russia as President. What an utterly disgraceful, shaming, abhorrent moment for this country.

“This is going to be great television.” Those may have been the truest words uttered by U.S. President Donald Trump in the course of a dramatic and completely undiplomatic meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, FP’s @ravireports.bsky.social writes.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

President Zelensky is one of the most impressive leaders we’ve ever seen.

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Just so we are clear - the reason why JD Vance has constantly refused to go to Ukraine is because he is a coward. He would NEVER go there and meet with their soldiers or talk with their leaders. Because their courage and integrity would show him for what he is - a sniveling jerk.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

And let me say before any Republican law maker is asked about what just happened in the White house...fuck you You're responsible for this.
