The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Maybe???

A week of MAGA--the "pro-military" party: 4 US servicemen died in Lithuania. Trump didn't know about it 24 hours after it happened & hours after search operations had begun Trump admin to fire 80,000+ VA employees Trump admin leaks war plans via Signal chat putting US military lives in jeopardy

Join up. Help the Dems win.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

I can’t imagine Wisconsin voters being impressed.

How quickly it happened, even with us furiously fighting.

People need to wake up to the fact that the republicans no longer care about what their base likes. Why is that? Because they aren’t going to let anyone’s vote count again.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Three hundred of America's wealthiest individuals have asked Congress not to pass 45/7's tax cuts for the wealthy. They called the cuts "cruel" and "unnecessary," and argue that the wealthy should be taxed more, not less. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that our so-called president, Trump, was not included in these plans? Just who is running this country?

#wisconson this is brilliant!

It’s also for children who lose their parents at a young age. My father died when I was 14. Social Security allowed me to go to college.

Couldn’t have said it better.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

This 100%.

The whitewashing of US history continues at Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Every Trump supporter who I discussed project 2025 with before the election assured me that Trump was not part of it. I can now say “I told you so.”

How about we ask our senators and congressmen how they’re going to respond to this? Lift your voices! We need to put pressure on them.

Every single one of us are at risk.

I dare you to read this piece in its entirety, and tell me how this makes anyone safer. What it clearly does do is funnel hundreds of millions of our tax $$s to certain corps to kidnap, detain and degrade people for absurd reasons or none at all—in the name of the United States. You ok with this?

Get on the phone and call your representatives! Medicaid may not affect you, but chances are it affects someone close to you.

This 100%.

The woke have been aware. We never doubted.

What have we become?

Good point. We are already in a shut down. Let’s hope Democrats don’t make it worse.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

We should all be alarmed, all of our free-speech is at stake.

Rep. Nadler speaks.

A dark and ugly time in American history.

We are truly entering a dictatorship under the Trump administration. What happened to free speech? I’m sure there’s many saying “we’ll see you in court, Mark Rubio!”

Crowd at Democratic U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan’s town meeting in rural Belmont, Wisconsin, is so large that it spills out the door of the local community center. The repeated demand from farmers, retirees, teachers, small business owners: “Do more to push back against Trump and Musk!”

Close call. SCOTUS will not be reformed until we have democrats in charge. Vote blue!

Checks and balances, what’s that? 🙄

North Korea's troops have reportedly crossed into Ukraine for the first time. Trump has ordered that F-16 jamming devices used by Ukraine be disabled to make them vulnerable to Russia. Russia has increased its attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the use of cluster munitions.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Why will no one read this? Is it too painful to accept we have a Russian operative in our White House & Musk wks 4 Putin?The evidence cld not be more clear? Someone explain it to me? These are facts that have happened! Reality acceptance can be hard, clearly. If we can’t admit it, we can’t fight it!

The felon president who pardoned 1500 violent J6 Capitol rioters he incited that went on to viciously assault American police officers just called for “law and order.”

Ouch.
