This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Almost tears because 💥❤️🤷🏻‍♀️🙏

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

JUST IN: Judge Trevor McFadden sets hearing for 3PM Monday on @AP bid to end lockout from Trump White House events & Air Force One

He nails it.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in September of that year. Section 504 of that act codified the civil rights of persons with disabilities. Overturning this will not help children, nor will it help schools.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

fucking incompetents and/or malicious... they own every repeat offender who commits police misconduct www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has invited Elon Musk to testify at an informal hearing on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau next week. "Musk has said that he is trying to kill the agency — he should have the courage to show up in public and answer questions." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Trump proving beyond a doubt he is working for Russia, is now openly attacking Zelenskyy and Ukraine after failing to blackmail them for trillions of dollars. Everyday Trump is president is a 100 years of shame and embarrassment for the United States.
