I approve of this message from my favorite musician of all time. I will oppose Trump's disastrous betrayal of Ukraine with everything I've got.

So DOGE's "wall of receipts" is full of lies. Is anyone surprised? We need a handful of Republicans in Congress to join Dems in terminating this fake "department" and protecting Americans from Elon's lawless grift. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Wanna be King Trump will NEVER have majority support in America because he is everything we are NOT: a cruel, selfish, corrupt, incompetent tinpot tyrant. But Hitler ended German democracy with 36% popular support. We will NOT let Trump do that here. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Trump/Musk wrecking ball will unwittingly reveal something important: federal agencies, programs and civil servants do good and vital things that we count on every day in myriad ways. Vilifying and destroying them is deeply wrong.

What Trump is trying to do to Ukraine is sick & dangerous. Terrible for Ukrainians being thrown under the bus by an "ally" and for all Europeans who will bear the consequence of Trump being a corrupt, arrogant version of Neville Chamberlain. Putin must not win. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/w...

So… Trump fired 18 inspectors general. NOW: 💰 If a contractor is scamming taxpayers? No IG. 🚨 If a political appointee breaks the law? No IG. 🤑 If Trump officials are lining their pockets? No IG. No watchdogs. No accountability. And House Republicans are just letting it happen.

One of my favorite self-owns from Christian nationalist trolls triggered by my protest over the National Prayer Breakfast being held in the US Capitol. THIS is what I was protesting - it's the whole point of why we need separation of church and state.

Trump presided over today's Nat'l Prayer Breakfast in the Capitol of the new Christian state of Gilead. He insulted Dems, immigrants & trans people, claimed God guides his every word and every step, & then announced a task force to combat "anti-Christian bias." As if... www.au.org/the-latest/p...

Dear Attorneys: Elon & DOGE are private sector actors, barely even semi-official, breaching privacy rights and accessing our personal data. Should be biggest class action ever (every US taxpayer). If Treasury Dept & GOP majority in Congress won't stop them, maybe lawsuits will. Start signing us up!

Trump ordered billions of gallons of valuable water wasted into a dry lakebed for a photo op. The Army Corps of Engineers obeyed the commander, knowing it was insane. Trump's tantrums will get people killed & start wars unless grownups in govt question his crazy orders. gvwire.com/2025/01/31/t...

Folks: I understand your fear and exasperation and why so many of you are demanding that Democrats "DO SOMETHING" to stop Trump. I want you to know this Democrat is doing everything he can of to meet this moment and make a difference. If you have better ideas, I'm all ears.

Here's another step toward dictatorship, straight from Project 2025: seizing total control over independent federal agencies. We 'll fight this in court & try to get a few Republicans to join the fight in Congress, but we need also a broad public awakening. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I wonder if Canada will retaliate by cutting off all of the magic water Trump just ordered the military to deliver to Los Angeles?

Here's how stupid Trump thinks we are: he just dumped a bunch of valuable water from 2 federal flood control dams, wasting it into the Tulare Lake bed where it evaporates. None goes to LA, but he claims he's saving LA. Pissing on us and telling us it's raining.

The constitutional crisis is not over - they're just withdrawing an incompetent OMB memo while vowing to keep moving forward with an illegal federal funding freeze.

With Trump's illegal breakout to dictatorship underway, the Senate confirmation vote on OMB Director is one of our last backstops. If Russ Vought or anyone else won't uphold the Impoundment Control Act & the inspectors general law, they are shilling for dictatorship & the Senate must reject them.

The Dept of Gaslighting Exaggerations (DOGE) is off to a great start, praising Trump & the "military" for ending a routine 3-day maintenance process on federal water pumps. Now imaginary "unlimited water" from Canada will finally start to flow! www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

It's disturbing that anyone would claim they can make "unlimited water" "pour down naturally" to Los Angeles from the Pacific Northwest and "even Canada" such that California can put out all fires and "never run out." It's even more disturbing that it was the President of the United States.

Trump's OMB nominee Russ Vought is an extreme Christian nationalist who openly declares that non-Christians "stand condemned." He may soon be purging the federal workforce and rewriting the rules for immigration to favor Christians. If he has his way, the Constitution will "stand condemned."
