Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

On this week's Coffee Klatch, we discuss Trump's latest power grabs, the backlash to DOGE's mass firings, and how Democrats should give voice to the public's anger. Plus, former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra joins us to discuss DOGE's attack on the Bureau.

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.

Authoritarian leaders scapegoat vulnerable communities to gain and consolidate power, but we have the power to defeat the threat. We catalogue the Trump admin’s attacks on trans and nonbinary people and what you can do for our LGBTQIA+ community and democracy.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

I started following @aoc.bsky.social. I've never been her biggest fan, honestly. (This is a safe space 😉). I disagree with her on many of her platforms. However, she is a very visible and vocal antipode to MTG, Lake, Noem, and others. She is who we need right now at the podium. She deserves support.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

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.

This amazing lady is standing exactly where we're meeting tomorrow! Join Rise and Resist in NYC's Union Square on 14th Street at 1PM. We the people will not live under a king, oligarch or dictator. Courage is contagious. #StopTheCoup #PresidentsDay #FightTheDictators #EndOligarchy #NeverAgain

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Well said.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

This is what integrity looks like: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

This! The response to Trump is beginning to look more like it should, and rest assured…millions of angry Americans are fueling it. apple.news/A3p9Ro__KSy6...

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Outside the CFPB building. Senator Elizabeth Warren on fire: "THIS IS YOUR FIGHT."
