Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

More of this 👏👏👏

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

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

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

How to respond to a bully. Thank you, Governor Mills.

Tesla sales are crashing in Europe.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

The reason the USA is so messed up is because everyone thinks bad things will never happen to them.

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Rep. Mfume: "DOGE = department of government evil!" Yes, IT IS!

I will keep saying it. @maddow.msnbc.com is a true necessity in these times. She tells the truth and INSPIRES with stories that are inspirational about PUSHBACK. Thank you Rachel--keep it up. it's what I need, that's for sure.

This.

The Musk/Trump/Vance administration is already going after Medicare services, while the GOP-controlled Congress is trying to cut Medicaid. Shame on them.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Oh I miss the Sleepy Joe night sleeps. @repjasmine.bsky.social is the best 👏

Dark Pence is back.

Last night, President Musk and his reek, Trump, said they wouldn't touch Medicaid. Well, they lied. Today, Trump endorses the cuts. Nice, nice.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

BREAKING: A plane has crashed in Arizona, leaving at least one person dead.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

Musk / Trump admin is Incompetent, Inefficient and Ineffective.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Great to be back at UChicago Institute of Politics tonight. Tune in.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

As @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social said: Mike Johnson leads an NPC — Non Player Congress

Wherein Elon says the quiet, corrupt part out loud: He intends to steal the private IRS data of his political enemies. How soon before he does the same to his economic competitors? Or you?

DOGE = Dept of Grift Exploitation 👇👇👇👇👇

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

He is firing FAA workers by the hundreds and he knows he is going to end up killing a lot of people so we get this tweet and that covers everything apparently
