Not to mention, when we sent weapons to Ukraine, we made more here in the US to replenish our stockpiles. Arming Ukraine *supported* the industrialization of America. Biden's jobs record speaks for itself.

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

The accuracy of the political cartoons recently is incredibly painful.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

As expected...

Last week in Haddon Township NJ, I.C.E. raided and arrested the owners of a beloved local restaurant. They, along with their 4 children, are legal immigrants who have been a huge part of the community, giving back to those in need. The father has been released but the mother is still detained.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

They are slashing jobs at the Social Security Administration. This will impact access to services for millions.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

The Rainbow PUSH Coalition and Chicago's faith leaders urged residents to boycott spending on Friday, joining a national economic blackout against corporate greed and companies like Amazon rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Canadians visiting the U.S. were responsible for $20.5 billion in spending last year. Some are now changing their travel plans. “I feel like Canadians have been slapped across the face by Trump.”

Proud of the work my law firm did in this case! "An Arizona judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to upend election policies in Yavapai County. The decision delivered a blow to a right-wing organization founded by Stephen Miller which brought the challenge." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.
