Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

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.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.
