Trump was impeached for trying to extort Ukraine. He's at it again.

It shouldn’t be considered an act of bravery to stand up for what we already fought for.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Their incompetence and carelessness has been jaw-dropping so far - and if you are not a billionaire or at least in the top tax bracket, you are definitely not the one they want to help.

“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.

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Food for thought…

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Americans are staring in the face of their own self-imposed taxation without representation’ moment. An unelected billionaire Thomas Cromwell to King Donald’s tyrannical lawless rule. Last time this happened it didn’t end well for the King’s men.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

We aren’t all farmers…

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

“I shake my head as people actually think DOGE has identified waste, fraud and abuse in 5 days. What they are doing is gutting programs they don't like according to Project 2025. They haven't done any analysis and don't even know the functions of the depts they are cutting.” - Henry M. Rosenberg

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.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

...

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Stupidity is far more dangerous than evil, for evil takes a break from time to time, but stupidity does not.

This.

Mitch McConnell announced his retirement after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

When did firing civil service employees become a better idea to balance our national debt, than taxing the rich?

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.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Facts Matter!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.
