Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a red-and-blue Trump flag outside her one-story home during the November campaign. Now that she’s been fired from her civil-service job, her days of supporting the president are over reut.rs/41zDzGB

As an autistic person arguing about stupid people with a malfunctioning gene pool not vaccinating their children because they fear autism and would rather their child just die is kinda eye opening. That propaganda has sunk deep. Real deep.

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory This makes me boiling mad, have to walk around to bring down my blood pressure mad. It's utterly despicable that some Americans think other Americans are disposable because some useless billionaire and an elderly golfer told them so. apnews.com/article/trum...

When Trump talks about “returning education to the states”, think about the Little Rock Nine. All nine Black teens were denied entry to school by the governor of Arkansas. Only when the federal government stepped in were they integrated. This was only 68 years ago.

Ironically, Trump's attempt to humiliate Zelensky may have woken a sleeping giant in Europe. The unity and love that they are showing are undeniable. 🇺🇦

If you missed it - this is @chrismurphyct.bsky.social describing the transfer of wealth from ordinary people to the very wealthy, happening right now youtu.be/MXZuHf7LMZE?...

These walk-backs are not happening in blue districts.

My favorite message from a member today. This is a rational, hard-working, mild-mannered, moderate, selfless American. And clearly, a Patriot.

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

👏👏👏

If you are spending any time attacking Democrats rather than focusing on what Republicans are doing to destroy our democracy then you are wasting value time.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to steal from us so regularly, so openly, so unapologetically that Americans just accept it as normal. We can’t let them. I’m headed to the Senate floor right now to lay out the story of 6 weeks of stunning, brazen White House corruption.

By no factual standard was the Biden economy "terrible." Mike Johnson is a professional liar masquerading as a Christian.

Threatening to cut federal funding for schools that engage in DEI initiatives is a blatant attempt to deprive students of a full and honest education. We're taking the Trump administration to court.

Howard Buffett has donated $500 million to Ukraine.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.” - Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

Democrats, I can introduce you to any organizer in rural Missouri. Hell, I have contacts in each state. Come out and speak to the lies that are happening in GOP statehouses and the White House. No one is talking to us. Folks will show up — I promise. Bring the truth. I will help you!

For the people bitching about "Why do we send all this money to Ukraine?" it's because WE LITERALLY OWE THEM. In the early 90's Ukraine was the third largest nuclear power in the world. We all signed a treaty: Ukraine gave up nukes, Russia would never invade them, & we'd defend Ukraine if they did.

These are the names of the 10 Democrats who pathetically voted to censure Al Green for protesting Trump’s madness: Ami Bera Ed Case Jim Costa Laura Gillen Jim Himes Chrissy Houlahan Marcy Kaptur Jared Moskowitz Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Tom Suozzi

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

The Trump administration plans to revoke the temporary legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainian refugees, Reuters reports.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

During the 10:00 hour ET, Congressman Al Green will be censured this morning for standing up to President Trump.

Taking my Trump derangement syndrome to new heights. (Stay for the finale.) 🧹🫧💚🇺🇸 #NewVideo #DefyDemocracy #Parody

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

With Thunderbolts*, Superman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps and more, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of superheroes across film and TV. But Daredevil: Born Again shows a hesitance to embrace the hero in superheroes.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities: "If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe." Mic drop! 🎤

Last night, Trump said about Greenland: "One way or the other, we're going to get it." And Republicans in Congress laughed in delight. The US government is led by criminals. We're running out of time to stop them. Get out and protest. Call your lawmakers. Fight for America's future generations.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did J6

NEW: The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks. By @andykroll.bsky.social

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

Reminder: Trump's a felon & a repeat offender & is responsible for police officers dying!

The state of the union is that Trump fired cancer researchers and forest service rangers. He's letting Elon Musk smash the Social Security Administration into pieces. And he is pushing Congress to pass more tax giveaways for billionaires while destroying Medicaid.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.
