Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

I did expect some of our lawmakers to chain themselves to the federal buildings so doge can’t enter. There’s still opportunities.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

The EU is preparing a package of about €20 billion ($20.9 billion) in additional military support for Ukraine, according to a person familiar with the matter, as the bloc races to secure assistance for Kyiv in the face of President Donald Trump’s push to reach a quick peace settlement with Russia.

This is amazing!

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

We don't need voter ID laws here in the US, we need voter IQ tests... youtube.com/shorts/xSQ2t...

I recently asserted that Congressional Republicans are guilty of dereliction of duty. Today, I extend that indictment to for-profit legacy media. They've made their beds and sealed their fates.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Waiting to hear from all the “Trump-Russia was a hoax” crew and somehow they’ve evaporated into nothingness

Name one thing Trump has done that Putin isn’t ecstatic about.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...
