Every stupid cruel unconstitutional thing Trump does should carry his name. the Trump firings, Trump’s closure of public parks, Trump’s tax cut for billionaires, Trump’s egg prices…. And Biden’s accomplishments should carry his name -Biden’s Job Growth, Biden’s Chip Bill, Biden’s bridge repairs ….

🔥 MEDICAID IS A HUMAN RIGHT, NOT A HANDOUT! 🔥 80M Americans—kids, moms, seniors, POC, rural folks, & the disabled—CLING TO IT FOR LIFE! Republicans ready to *SLASH* it? OVER OUR DEAD BODIES! #DontCutMyMedicaid

Glad @raskin.house.gov is in a leadership role. The Dem party and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should put @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social and Rep Matthew Frost in leadership roles ASAP.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

This will likely upset millions of voters. The government isn’t a business.

As a doctor, I’m asking my electeds #dontcutmymedicaid People who can’t afford healthcare need healthcare during this quademic (Flu, COVID, RSV, Norovirus) + Avian flu.

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

🚨🚨This from @JBPritzker The Nazis dismantled a constitutional republic in less than two months so it is definitely time to panic.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

A real president

"I am determined to make sure that every American knows that Republicans are coming for their Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid – and that we have to stop them." Read Alex Lawson of @socialsecurityworks.org's op-ed for COURIER ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The men & women of the FBI will have a very serious choice to make in the coming days. At some point, they will all need to decide whether to uphold the rule of law or follow lawless orders. What they do from this point on will not exist in a vacuum. It will be witnessed, and it will be reconciled

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Trump’s illegal threats to take away federal funding from Maine are a direct attack on state’s rights. He’s using federal funds as a tool to bully states into doing his bidding. This isn’t how democracy or policy works, it’s blackmail. Maine will fight & win this gross abuse of power. 🤬🖕🏼

Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025 during his campaign. The legacy media largely took this at face value despite the fact that he lied 30000+ times in his first term. Here is a score card for how Project 2025 is seeing its goals met by Trump. www.project2025.observer

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

WATCH: the demented Elon Musk takes the stage at CPAC, brandishing a 'chainsaw for bureaucracy' like some twisted super-villain. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Raskin: "So who is leading DOGE? Is it the young man who calls himself Big Balls? Is it the racist on the night crew who's proud of the fact he was a racist before all of his friends were racist, and says we should legitimize Indian hate?"

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

AOC is showing what resistance looks like; Schumer, Hochul, and the rest of D leadership not so much. www.publicnotice.co/p/aoc-homan-...

📢 “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

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

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 😂

Are there really that many loyalists that can take these govt jobs that F’elon is creating by firing everybody who is experienced? I mean they are already scraping the bottom of the barrel just to fill the cabinet positions.

Stand with Ukraine!!!

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Isn't it funny how even after trump has threatened to invade Gaza and force its people out so he can build condos there, you no longer hear a peep out of all those pro-Palestinian protesters who refused to vote for "Genocide Joe." It's almost as if that movement was astroturfed to help trump win.

Mike’s Blog Round-Up: On this day in 1970 Simon and Garfunkel went to No.1 on the UK chart with "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The album went on to stay on the chart for over 300 weeks, returning to the top of the charts on eight separate occasions and spending a total of 41 weeks at No.1.…

Elon Musk suggests he wants to cut “500 billion dollars” from programs like Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”. Social Security is entitlement, but the richest man in the world receiving tens of billions from the federal government for his companies isn’t? 🤔

Retired high school English teacher here and I’ve been saying this since 2016. Why didn’t my Dem leadership listen to me and simplify the messaging? Duh!! 😡

This is insane. Now Trump wants to seize the Postal Service, dismantle its independence, and throw mail delivery into chaos. This isn’t reform—it’s an incompetent, reckless power grab. We will use every tool at our disposal to fight back.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.
