In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

An incredibly important exchange here for more reasons than one. It’s worth it to note: this DOJ lawyer, Jason Lynch, is tanking his credibility in defense of an insidious, pretextual, and asinine Trump Administration policy. This kind of stuff will forever haunt you professionally.

Still my all-time favorite @petebuttigieg.bsky.social moment and why we need him to do daily press briefings for Dems! "Pete Buttigieg busts Fox News over uninformed question on electric cars: 'Tesla doesn't even have tailpipes'" www.rawstory.com/pete-buttigi...

"Trump (with his inability to nominate anyone competent) owns this. Elon (with his insistence on gutting the government of talent) owns this. And all of those spineless Republicans Senators (who greenlit Sean Duffy for fear of asserting their autonomy as a co-equal branch of government) own this."

Just to be clear, because I don’t think the Post story highlights it enough: This was Trump’s day-one pick to lead the Social Security Admin until his nominee got confirmed who RESIGNED a career job rather than do what Musk’s DOGE team wants. This is Treasury (DOGE) and DOJ (Adams) all over again.

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

If you’ve been directly impacted by the Trump purge of government workers or his Executive Orders, please DM me. I’d like to highlight your story and also see if there are folks in your community that can provide help, if you’re in need. We’ve got to take care of each other.

📌On August 18, 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected. The committee chair? Marco Rubio. The very Rubio who was surrendering to Putin today. Just what in the hell is going on here????

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."
