Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Wasn’t expecting this in a little historic church we popped into. 👀 😂

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

He nails it.

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

How a Democrat flipped a +20 trump St Senate seat. By focusing on his local roots and kitchen-table issues. His motto: “Iowa raised, Iowa values: hard work and fairness.” His platform: lowering costs, raising wages, and improving public schools. Gift Art. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

“It is not too late to salvage the agency and its mission. The agency’s partner organizations are hanging on and its overseas missions seem to have remained mostly intact, for now. The laws establishing U.S.A.I.D. in federal statute and its budget appropriation remain in force and unaltered.”

So well said! McConnell acted with cowardice and for that we have trump again...

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

This is huge scandal. And frankly it sounds dangerous.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working to reverse the “accidental” firing of several employees responding to an avian influenza outbreak. While the CDC says the public risk is low, the crisis is hitting the agriculture sector hard, driving egg prices to record highs.

Elon Musk can bank on Brad Schimel to support big corporations, ban abortion with no exceptions, and take our state backwards. Hear from Judge Crawford:

Susan Crawford is running to defeat Elon Musk’s chosen candidate - and Elon’s millions of $$$ - in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1st. Her @crawfordforwi.bsky.social only has 2.5K followers and it needs A LOT MORE to help get her message out. PLEASE give her a follow now.
