This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.

Musk's grandpa thought that democracy didn't work because the masses were ignorant and brainwashed by Jewish globalists. Instead, he thought engineers should govern dictatorially There are eerie echos of these sentiments in Musk's recent words and deeds www.vox.com/politics/400...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

NEW: Marocco has tried shutting down nearly all USAID programs & freezing foreign aid. He’s led the charge to place nearly all USAID staff on administrative leave. Officials said they see the move as retribution against those who opposed his earlier work. By @annamaria.bsky.social + Brett Murphy

This says it all

Pete slammed trump for not delivering on his biggest campaign promises: “I thought he was elected to bring prices down, make our lives better. Even my Trumpiest neighbors weren’t looking for him to cut cancer research, end Head Start, and try to freeze road funding. open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

Top cop tells the good guys to stand aside while the bad guys rob the Treasury.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Undermining the core function of the government was always central premise of project 2025

Texas congressman James Stalarico on West Texas oil & gas billionaires and Christian Nationalists Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks on trying to buy out the Texas House of Representatives.

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them. We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it? Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

"We know you’re out of power. We understand you’re in the minority. We hear that, loud and clear. What we’re not hearing is your anger. We’re not hearing your outrage. We’re wondering whether or not you actually hear us." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/comms-advi...

This photo hits hard.

The job of congress isn't to come on here and tell us stuff, that's the media's job. Your job is to tell us what you're going to DO about it.

NEW: To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Could Slash Benefits for Poor, Working Class @justinelliott.bsky.social @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

Jeffrey Hustito died in a sober living home as Arizona struggled to respond to a fraud scheme targeting Indigenous people with addictions. “We were really thrilled when he decided to get treatment,” his father said. “He just got worse over there.” https://propub.li/40EvIHm

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

This is the way. Sue and sue and sue and sue and fuck their shit up. Then delay and delay and delay and delay the litigation. Trump himself has shown us how.

Tomorrow is Kash Patel's confirmation hearing. We need to be loud as hell. Please contact your Senator right now

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets
