How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

I spoke at the Boone County Democrats Chili Supper Thursday night…look at this crowd, friends.

He nails it.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Don’t be a nice person…

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted by Trump's purge of federal employees, imperiling crucial, lifesaving work. "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed." w/ @deldeib.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

The biggest source of funding for Missouri's General Revenue Fund is the state income tax. The Missouri GOP is trying to eliminate the state income tax...

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The purge of senior officers who have served with distinction on the battlefield and off should send a shiver down the spine of any American who cares about an apolitical military.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I’m shocked.

Did you guys see the governor of Maine talk back to Trump? Oh my God. Legend.

The GOP Tax Scam’s version of a “golden age” in America: the sick and hungry suffer while the billionaires who sat front row at his inauguration reap the rewards. Don't Cut My Medicaid

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

“Imagine that in the midst of World War II, instead of helping Britain fight the Nazi Reich, instead of Lend-Lease for the USSR, the US president would send negotiators to meet with Hitler's representatives, call Adolf his best friend, prepare a personal meeting and explain to everyone that…” 1/

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

We can’t call a Nazi salute a “gesture”

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

We aren’t all farmers…

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

This post is about going to a chill supper fundraiser in Boone County, Missouri — raising money for folks running for local offices. In the comments, you can see people dragging rural Dems. What’s the point of back biting rural Democrats? We’ve always stood in the way of fascists.
