🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

COOL JOB ALERT: We're looking for a senior leader to take on Indivisible's media operations, particularly with experience in the non-mainstream media space (influencers, podcasts, etc). Only downside is you have to work with me. Please apply or tell people to apply! jobs.lever.co/indivisible/...

When factories or mines close, isn't there a big effort to ease the pain for displaced workers? Why is Musk treating the federal workforce like garbage? Not only are the reductions being chosen mindlessly--they are being enforced cruelly. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/p...

ACTION THIS WEDNESDAY: Researchers from New York universities are holding a rally to protest the funding cuts at Washington Square Park at 4 pm. This will be part of a national day of action, with rallies at HHS in DC and all around the country. RSVP HERE: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I hate these posts from MAGAs which complain that losing their job/livelihood/dream etc. is so unfair because they voted for him 3 times. And they agree with his policies. The inference is that it's fine for *other* people to lose out from his draconian policies, just not his loyal supporters.

The trouble with things not happening anymore (in this case, child death from measles) is that people start believing things won't happen anymore. As opposed to things not happening anymore because everyone who can is vaccinating against measles.

The GOP’s plan would gut Medicaid—kicking people off with lifetime caps, slashing funding, forcing impossible work rules, and shifting costs to struggling states. Millions will suffer, from seniors to families to people with disabilities. Hands off my Medicaid!

"The dogs were good again this week" is the phrase keeping me going. Think about how dogs' love and loyalty is the complete antidote to the venality, selfishness, and cowardice of our political sphere. #weratedogs

Josh Marshall at TPM writes of Schumer's rolling over. This cannot stand.

These need to be posted around red counties.

Pet Peeve: When media shills for conservatives/republicans evade what is actually happening in the political sphere (because it's unforgivable) to write about abstractions. E.G. Ross Douthat (who just platformed Bannon), writes today about religious belief; David Brooks on friendship.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Call your Member of Congress. Tell them to stop Musk and his merry band of lawless children from rampaging through our government. Call your M of C, republican or democrat. Go to 5calls.org

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

I’m seeing a lot of ranting and complaining. That’s fine. Have you called your members of Congress? That includes Republicans.

I understand Democrats don’t work like this but we’re in crisis and norms need to be ditched. AOC should come out and just declare herself the leader of the party. She’s the only one who gets it.

In the 2026 elections, six more Republican senators are up for re-election than Democrats. We need to pick off 4 seats with stellar candidates, great organizing, and overflowing war chests.

We need a big press conference by prominent Dems. NOW. Fight Back. Lure the cameras. Pete Buttigieg Nancy Pelosi Adam Schiff Jamie Raskin Kamala Harris Gavin Newsom AOC Jasmine Crockett etc. Each take one of Trump's outrageous actions and speak to the American people loud and angrily.
