Federally funded programs that followed DEI rules in effect under the Biden administration appear to be receiving heightened scrutiny to determine if their ongoing work was "contaminated" with DEI. I wonder if this is legal. @lawfare.bsky.social

All Democrats in the House must keep a united front and vote NO on the continuing resolution unless they get MAJOR concessions. What's major? Eliminate DOGE, rehire fired federal workers, fund agencies at mandated levels and restore the CFPB and USAID. And yes, that's an AND, not an OR.

Needless to say, our current administration is not a big fan of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding to many community and public radio stations, especially outside major metro areas. If you can afford it, right now would be a great time to make a financial contribution.

We have a president who adheres to our enemies, giving them aid and comfort. How can this be?

The betrayal of Ukraine by President Trump will go down in history with the betrayal of Czechoslovakia by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Appeasement does not guarantee peace, it gives the adversary encouragement. It does not prevent WW III, it makes it more likely.

A small victory: our Congressman, George Latimer, is finally holding a (virtual) town hall with his constituents on Wednesday, the day after Trump addresses Congress. My question: Will you vote NO on any "must pass" legislation such as a continuing resolution, budget, defense appropriations bill...

This illustrates the true goal of DOGE: to make government work worse for the American people. If you make it harder to people to get a weather forecast or passport or file their taxes, you generate fake support for privatization of government services and more profits for Trump's oligarchs.

Buy two copies of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. Read one and keep it. Give the other to a friend or leave it in a random place for someone else to read.

Trump called President Zelensky "disrespectful." His behavior and that of his vice president were SHAMEFUL. A country that betrays its allies cannot be trusted. Trump and Vance have thrown away the trust that his predecessors spent decades earning.

The president is breaking our global commitments, turning his back on our allies and cozying up to our adversaries, and by doing so he is making us less secure and diminishing our standing in the world. It seems to me to be intentional, not accidental. Why?

Worth quoting – Congresswoman Shontel Brown (D-OH): "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." Like many of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous quotations, these words echo through the ages. They offer hope and give rise to a sense that progress...

#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE! He’s was selling hats in the Oval office. He wants to offer gold card citizenship. Now this crazy, evil bullshit. This is beyond lunacy. This is NOT normal people. This is not how a President should lead.

The destruction being wrought by Elon Musk is not incidental, it is the point. It instrumentalizes the "deconstruction of the administrative state" first advocated by Steve Bannon in a speech at CPAC in 2017. The goal is to destroy the Federal government in a way that makes rebuilding it impossible.

We have created an oligarchy that is wealthy enough to bend the political system to its will. We should have adopted a wealth tax when we still had a chance. Democrats should still try, and get Republicans to go on the record. #wealthtax @warren.senate.gov

Here's my message for today to my senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand: Our democratic system of government is under its most serious attack since the Civil War. It is time for Democrats to use EVERY AVAILABLE PARLIAMENTARY TACTIC to slow down or stop the Trump agenda...

Do not be deceived by opposition to Musk's demands from Trump loyalists like Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. This is a disagreement about means, not ends. Their goal is still the destruction of democracy.

Zelenskky continues to be the Churchill needed for this moment. No, he's not perfect, just like Churchill wasn't perfect. But he says what must be said in a way that rallies the world to a just cause. Freedom for Ukraine is freedom for Europe. What happens in Europe impacts us here at home
