And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

He nails it.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

The single most destructive force in American politics in 50 years.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.  And who does not: working families.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

More of this. Do not give in.

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

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.

It’s really that simple, serve the public good.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau makes sure you don't get scammed by digital payment companies and car lenders. Elon Musk’s role as CEO of X Money and Tesla makes DOGE’s takeover of the CFPB a clear conflict of interest. @schiff.senate.gov and I are pressing for answers.

Oh yes. She was on it. Now, did the 800,000 Polish Americans in Pennsylvania that she referred to vote to protect the interest of the U.S. and Poland? Someone please go to a diner and ask ‘em.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

Now this, I can co-sign.

Lawyers, this is what it looks like to honor your oath as a lawyer and as a prosecutor. I want to lift up Denise Cheung, one of a growing group of senior DOJ lawyers who have put the rule of law ahead of politics & short-term career advancement. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

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

AOC clapped back at Tom Homan — More of this.

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.
