According to leaked tax returns highlighted in a ProPublica investigation, the 25 richest Americans paid $13.6 billion in taxes from 2014-2018—a “true” tax rate of just 3.4 percent on $401 billion of income.

When I looked around at today's protest, I realized, WE ARE UNITED!

Sacramento's protest grew from the last one, and kept growing all day.

You never know who you are going to meet and connect with when you go to a protest and find a common cause.

We showed up in Sacramento!

Happy President’s Day! Today, let’s take a moment to reflect on the leaders who gave us hope, not by dividing Americans, but by uniting us for the greater good.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

What a total fool.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is rallying outside VA HQ now, leading Senate Dems in a powerful stand against Musk’s takeover. “Elon Musk… 9 million veterans are watching you give them the middle finger, & we’re not going to stand for it!” 🔥 LFG for our vets 🫡 @blumenthal.senate.gov @votevets.org

‘Stone Cold Idiot’: Hegseth Humiliates Himself-Americans in First NATO Meetings: I wrote extensively on Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth’s nomination, his background, and whether he had the experience or fitness to serve as Secretary of Defense. He failed on every single level, from the rape…

Don't give Bezos, Musk, Zuckumpery, or any of the oligarchs your money until they feel the pain.

Elon Musk’s closure of the CFPB is a slap in the face to the American people. The CFPB was a shield for American consumers against predatory banking and financial practices. Let’s take a closer look at how the CFPB has protected the people since its creation in 2011... [1/6]

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

Good Saturday morning ☀️ Trump is a green-lighting, rubber-stamping, narcissistic puppet for Project 2025 and its fascist imagineers. Our federal judges are helping hold the line. Be loud! Be relentless! Project 2025 is public enemy #1. #StopProject2025 #SheShed

Our government has had a security breach of our data. Call the FBI Hotline to report. 800-225-5324

My favorite sign at the protest in Sacramento

Sacramento CA with a couple of thousand protesters throughout the day... #50501 #Indivisible

SCOTUS started this crime spree... hold them responsible.

We now have STATE CONTROLLED MEDIA. The major networks have been removed from the Pentagon and replaced with OANN, FOX News, and other right wing "entertainers". The NTSB has been restricted from communicating with reporters, only on X.

It's a red alert level thing for the NTSB -- not the FAA, but the NTSB -- to show this level of political interference already

GET UP AND DO SOMETHING... 50 STATES PROTEST FEB 5TH. Show up at your capitol building or if you can't get there, go to your City Hall or County Government.

Ever wondered why the GQP attacks education? Educated folks make connections & ask questions, & you can't have that when you write & push through horrible bills that don't add up. Gifted Article: wapo.st/3WDX9Qs #DoNotObey #WeAreDemocracy DemVoice1 US Democracy
