This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Trump messing with the postal service again? Just a reminder that his last ‘reform’ was slowing down mail right before an election where millions voted by mail. If he gets his hands on it again, expect your ballot to arrive sometime in 2037. #usps

Russia has about 18 million foreign workers, composing up to 25% of their entire work force. Because it's good for their economy. That is why I believe Trump is rounding up migrants just to annihilate our economy back to the 1800's. And he is doing it on direct orders from the Kremlin.

Among the few Dems who are rising to the moment, @govpritzker.illinois.gov stands out. He's clear, strong, pulls no punches. Among others who are doing a strong job: @aoc.bsky.social tops a list that also includes @raskin.house.gov @schatz.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

We all knew this was part of Project 2025. Trump is looking to cut over a trillion dollars from Medicaid + food stamps & there's already a bill. This will decimate under-resourced communities. Make no mistake that they've declared WAR on the working class. Healthcare & food access are human rights.

Elon's role with DOGE is as clear as the Hokey Cokey: in, out, shake it all about. The White House claims he's just an advisor without formal authority, yet Trump insists Musk is in charge. Who's leading the dance? www.palmerreport.com/analysis/don...

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

It’s #PresidentsDay. @bradmeltzer.com and I have now written books about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and JFK. With all their differences, these presidents shared a core belief: our democratic system must stand up to tyrants and authoritarians.

The whole plan is to force the states to have to “beg” for federal assistance. And, then, force that aid to come with demands and coerced obedience—acceptance of authoritarianism It’s text book Hitler

This is Maine Gov. Janet Mills. She did what cowardly GOP congressmen can’t find the bullocks to do. She told Rump to shove his order where the🌞won’t shine. She’s a hero. FOTUS: You better follow my Exec Order! GJM: I follow the law. FOTUS: I am the law! GJM: Only in your diseased🧠, see u in court!

Todd Blanche, Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, promised he would follow the advice of career ethics officials at the Department of Justice. Then they fired the career ethics officials. Piece by piece they are destroying the Justice Dept. And any hope of justice along with it.

If you want to defend Medicaid, at this point in time, the key thing to understand is that reaching out to your federal elected via phone or in-person interaction, is key.
