Flood their switchboard.

The measles outbreak is spreading. In Gains Co., Tx. 1 in 5 ppl there do not have the MRI ( measles, mumps rubella) vaccine. Current 48 cases are mostly children. All the cases are unvaccinated ppl. Now cases in New Mexico. Can lead to blindness, pneumonia, swelling of brain, death.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

A message to EVERY elected Republican: . You don't work for the president. You work for US!

The Democratic Party right now is pretty close to f—ing useless.

Attacking a woman, as usual, for this type. Instead of being better or doing better, it's just easier to talk shit and deflect.

"if Musk’s team has been granted security clearances, as the White House insists, it would most likely be with minimal to no vetting, a process that usually takes months..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The Pentagon just announced that it would double the number of news organizations removed from physical offices to make room for MAGA propaganda media outlets. OUT: The New York Times, Politico, NPR, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, The Hill, The War Zone

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

DOJ disbanding Task Force KleptoCapture, Kleptocracy Team, and the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery plays into hands of Putin and corrupt foreign oligarchs and criminals. This is what corruption looks like.

Merkley on Russ Vought: "He was the one who impounded the funds, illegally, for Ukraine, and it led to the president's first impeachment ... he's repeating the same things now."

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

There have been MASSIVE protests this week across the country. If you took any videos or photos from the protests, or have seen great videos or photos of them online, post them below! Let's show the world that the pro-democracy community is just getting started!

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Sen. Warner on DOGE's "buyout" offers: "Every scam artist is the same. 'Take this offer right now, it expires at midnight!' How many times do we see that?"

“Elon Musk is carrying out the most destructive part of Trump's agenda—a radical attack on federal workers and their missions. The result? Chaos, corruption, and a government in free fall. The game isn't over, but the stakes couldn't be higher. Read more: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...
