I literally reported this Wednesday.

call it what it is: a military leadership purge www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Hitler destroyed German democracy in 53 days. We are on day 30. The purge of the military and FBI has commenced. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

WTH 🤦

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

📢 ProPublica is looking for 5 newsrooms to join our Local Reporting Network! These newsrooms will be part of our 50 State Initiative. Newsrooms in 40 states (in blue) are eligible to apply: https://propub.li/41270AQ Here's what this would mean for your newsroom 👇

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

This

Same 💩 different day 🙄

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

"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.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

⚡️Elon’s REALLY gonna hate this one. NEW @indyamericans.bsky.social EPISODE 320. Bob Kerrey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Navy SEAL, Governor, Senator. This true American badass is not holding back. Watch on YouTube now: youtu.be/JN_kGDs7xTk?...

Democrats in Washington have been reactive - not proactive - in creating a strategy to counter the Trump agenda. We can’t continue to be caught flat-footed. I’ve got a solution. Check out my first Substack below. open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

If the Trump administration ignores court orders, judges have a range of options available to ensure compliance. Here are some of the most powerful tools at their disposal:

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

Five days apart.

I’m running for Governor of New Mexico. In Congress and as Secretary of the Department of the Interior, I've fought for our state. Now, it's time to tackle our toughest challenges with the fierceness only New Mexicans know. Join me. youtu.be/rYKORMUch5Y?...

It’s a good time to follow @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

New from me on @theassemblync.bsky.social - thousands of WNC residents have stayed in hotel rooms paid by FEMA following Hurricane Helene. FEMA's extensions in the TSA program are helping people. But the way they're going about it is spreading confusion: www.theassemblync.com/politics/fem...

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

This one needs to read the Constitution. Money doesn’t erase it.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...
