Breaking news: 57 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump has exceeded his authority since taking office for his second term, according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

One was fired by email at 12:47 a.m. Another wept as security escorted her from the office. A third frantically tried to fill a prescription after she got a 24-hour notice that her health care was ending. These workers are grappling with the Trump administration’s war on the federal bureaucracy.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Resist! 💙🦋

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

The Trump administration is moving to exert more control over the federal government’s technology, turning the people who oversee that infrastructure into political appointees it can hire and fire at will.

The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce, citing an aim to bring the agency in line with US President Donald Trump's priorities, according to two sources familiar with the matter reut.rs/4hHhkVD

Criticism and concern spread across both sides of the aisle Tuesday night following President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States “will take over the Gaza Strip.”

It is not ok for Trump and Elon to override Congress approved funding and agencies and fire and wipeout agencies You can’t say democrats were overreaching. We kept everything by the book of the Constitution I am not ok with them trying to wipe out the department of education

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 No shit 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 where are our reps? Congress? AGs? Any fkng one?

I sure hope MSNBC is in negotiations to sign Jim Acosta. He’d be perfect to replace Joe & Mika or Andrea Mitchell! He draws bigger ratings with his CNN AM show than their nighttime shows but King trump doesn’t like him ever since Acosta challenged him during his first term. Screw the midnight offer!

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense. Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.

None of these people can be trusted, ever.

Starting an avoidable trade war is not strength. It’s weakness. Strength would be able to fix this without pouting and throwing a fit. Trump is still a child, a weak, scared, whiney, child

This threatening tweet was deleted by Trump’s dumbest son 20 minutes after he posted it.

To our allies, I am so sorry this is happening. It’s sad to think you can no longer count on the United States of America, and…very possibly…have to fear the U.S. Believe me, this is NOT what most of America wants, no matter what the election results might have indicated.

"We sued him over 120 times. We won the vast majority of the time. Two thirds of the time, a court said that Trump was acting unlawfully, breaking the law of the United States of America or a U.S. constitutional provision or something else." https://newrepublic.com/article/190641/transcript-judges…

This is an impeachable offense.

President Donald Trump has directed his administration to block global aid recipients from telling patients about abortion — a move that could weaken reproductive health care worldwide. 19thnews.org/2025/01/trum...

Donald Trump marked his fourth day back in the White House by suggesting America's allies should just roll over for its enemies, among other things.

OPINION: In sum, the Trump administration and Congress are planning to cut from the poor, give to the rich and pay for more militarization at the cost of human needs.

Mississippi politician files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/m...

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet

A Mississippi state senator has filed a bill called the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” which would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo”

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man. The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

BREAKING - Trump hints he's going to eliminate FEMA States and counties will be on their own Trump is going to completely DESTROY the entire Southeast -- hurricanes will come, and there will be ZERO federal resources to help He's worth BILLIONS, he'll be fine. Will you?

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

BREAKING: Senate Democrats just fought off the first anti-choice bill of the Trump Administration. It’s only Day 3.

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

He told us, months in advance, he’d be a dictator on day one. Too many thought it was a joke. It’s now day two. "There are no sidelines. There's no sitting this one out. There is no hoping that someone else is going to come in and save the day. There is no cavalry. We are the cavalry.” -Beto

"Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, fuck off."

I’m certain that republicans hate Americans. 💯

NEW: Trump orders federal health agencies to STOP communicating health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites, and to stop making social media posts. I said previously I was worried about the lack of reporting. Here it is. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Heads up! This Friday at 10:30 AM (ET) the House is voting on HR 21 ( Reproductive Health Care Surveillance Act) Republicans are instead trying to insert themselves into family medical decisions and enforcing government monitoring of women’s pregnancies. CALL YOUR REPS!

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

Illinois will continue to stand with our immigrant brothers & sisters. #ProudBlue 1/2 wgntv.com/news/chicago...
