Pennsylvania Republicans who narrowly won their House seats feel the heat of early votes back home. Yes.

youtu.be/aJTUDdJc0gc?.... #NAFO #Ukraine #News This is,what Brian Glenn wire to work, he has no right to lecture anyone about what they wear, let alone President Zelensky. Look if he enjoys dressing up and being Pegged by MTG all power to them both

Elan Musk wears t-shirts in the oval office, while his toddler picks his nose.

That was very intense. Trump doing Putin’s work. Terrible. President and VP attacking Zelensky. Will be interesting to see how this turns out. If Trump had plates and ketchup it would have hit the walls. Embarrassing !!!!

This new reporting is a very big deal. The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion. We now know the figure is $38 billion. When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.

Dear Media: for ratings, readership & relevance you made yourselves irrelevant. You normalized a rapist, seditionist, felon. You platformed his lies & hate. You're responsible for your own demise & in many ways the nation's. www.axios.com/2025/02/25/w...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Trump administration from implementing OMB funding pause. "The public’s interest in not having trillions of dollars arbitrarily frozen cannot be overstated." A big victory for @democracyforward.org. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

BuT RoOsHa Is WiNnInG!!!

What am I missing? People keep talking about the effects of Medicaid cuts, which are disastrous, but why is the elephant in the room being ignored? 6 in 10 seniors in nursing homes have their stays paid from Medicaid. After 90 days of Medicare, Medicaid takes over nursing home fees. #Medicaid

@mcuban Next there will be travel bans.

Florida Sheriff’s Association wants to restart the 287g Task Force program, allowing show me your paper style policies in which local cops conduct immigration enforcement. It was phased out in 2012 due to costly lawsuits against racial profiling incidents.

Removing property taxes in #Florida? A new analysis calls that "a risky proposition" (which is a nice way of saying, "Are y'all all nuts?") www.wusf.org/politics-iss...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Heard Starbucks is doing layoffs and remembering the dumb pay package they gave their CEO finance.yahoo.com/news/starbuc...

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

Ukraine has actually prevented the U.S going to war and "boots on the ground" with Russia these last three years. Don't withdraw support thinking they "owe us". We're all in this together. Trump is way, way out of sync with the rest of the world.

Oh hey, it's my rep back home! The district he serves is, which covers most of San Bernardino Country, has ben blood red since 2008. There was hope of Latinos in the area turning the district blue, but then the GOP realized a Latino caste system exists.

Former Republican Adam Kinzinger schools uncaring MuskRat defender after she blows off Veterans Administration suicide hotline firings! www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-ho...

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

Too much consolidated and evil power. We must do something. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

What? What? Helloooo! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited

Well, turns out there’s another layer to his dubious background. According to independent journalist Jacob Silverman, Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov, a former KGB spy. Per Silverman’s research, Martynov was an officer in the technical espionage division… gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

This is because the Republican party doesn't care about you. It only cares about controlling you

We need more of this. Grothman is an incompetent moron that looks to hide in the corner of a round room. Don't fuck with Oshkosh! If MAGA wants to drive us backward, we can oblige with crowds bringing pitchforks next time. This is the type of success that needs to spread hotter than a wildfire!

More DOGE incompetence. DOGE slashed hundreds of jobs paid for by bank fees, medical device companies & other forms of funding rather than taxpayer dollars. If cuts are not reversed, the process will slow down new tech from getting to the market and to patients. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Are our Dem reps showing us that we don't matter? Or are they showing us that we elected the wrong candidates? Or are they showing us just how weak they are?

Warning signs for Trump in new polling. Two new polls show the Trump’s approval rating is slipping. A majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices. apple.news/AIPkdPHIuQRq...

At some point democrats are gonna have to stop trying to lead by example and learn that wolves can only be led by wolves.

Biggest disappointment of the year. Elected democrats in red states should be educating their constituents about what is happening and not signing on with the people who are trying to kill our democracy. flip.it/BHTBQd

TEXASS IS LOSING DOCTORS AND MEDICAL STAFF SINCE ABORTION IS NOT PERMITTED. SAME WITH FLORIDA. LOOK AT UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN...ALSO DOWN. YOUNG PEOPLE DONT LIKE NAZISM.

Isn't it the international space station?? I think the other countries may have issues with Leon making unilateral decisions FFS

This is how you know Patel has the votes. Collins would never be a deciding vote to sink one of Trump’s nominees.

Guantánamo Bay is being paid for by military funds and proof that the military budget is out of control and needs to be cut substantially

A CDC vaccine committee meeting, the first of Kennedy's tenure at HHS, gets postponed. Because of course. An HHS spokesperson didn’t say when the meeting would be rescheduled.

A Quinnipiac poll released today shows that only 9% of Americans think we should trust Putin; 81% say we shouldn’t. For his part, Putin complained today that Trump was not moving fast enough against Europe and Ukraine.

The execrable Jesse Watters at Fox is suddenly concerned about Doge cuts now that someone he knows, a veteran, has lost his job. Why do these folks need consequences to hit them or someone they care about before they get it?

Until she changes her feeble mind…

I was pretty sure the idea of an actual reduction in US military spending was too good to be true, and now the slight-of-hand is exposed...

None of them do. Not Rubio. Not Bessent. Not Duffy. Not Burgum. Not Ratcliffe. All of whom Warner voted for. They all belong to an administration of corruption. But it is good to see Dems (almost) universally reject nominees lately. Carry that forward.

Democrats in Congress have not done nearly enough to push back against Trump's threats to Canada.

This is the template, Democrats.
