#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Y’all ask what you can do? Make elected Republican’s lives miserable whenever they leave their house! Stay in their faces! They’re scared Trump will primary them? Make them fear their constituents more! This is how it’s done!

Please take care of yourselves, y'all! And remember that while it hurts right now to be broken, one day you will heal & become even more beautiful... Seriously, the human brain is wired to be self-healing. Part of my career is that of a neurobiologist studying brain plasticity & repair.

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

“Our Constitution protects all Americans–whether you are a professor or restaurant worker–from unlawful intrusion on speech, ideas, & expression, & it entitles all to fair process. Trump’s anti-equity directives violate these core protections” - @skyeperryman.bsky.social, CEO, @democracyforward.org

Trump pollster’s finds that 59% of voters in 18 swing districts are “worried about their personal financial situation,” and that Democrats are leading in the House generic ballot matchup by five points. @gregsargent.bsky.social: vulnerable GOPers will pay a price for walking lockstep with Trump.

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

Republicans think gutting the government is just firing ‘Washington bureaucrats.’ But look: this is a small-town paper in New Hampshire, reporting on local forest workers suddenly out of a job for zero reason. These are real people. This is going to backfire, badly.

MAGA Republicans have taken a dangerous turn. Instead of advocating for shared policy goals, they fuel hatred & fear toward their political rivals, falsely claiming our freedoms are harmful. Support democratic freedoms & civil rights. http://dlvr.it/TJ6JZB

A growing number of congressional Republicans are desperately trying to back-channel with White House officials as DOGE ramps up its slash-and-burn firings of federal workers. Republicans particularly worried about cuts affecting public safety and health roles.

NEW: As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety, @keiththirion.bsky.social of @afj.org argues.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

NEW: The Department of Energy this week minimized its quickly-reversed firings of NNSA officials as having hit "primarily administrative and clerical" employees. In reality, those locked out included the agency's top authority for all nuclear-safety matters. Today's newsletter:

This is an important thread. This idea that the private sector is always more efficient is a bunch of hogwash the right has been trying to sell for decades, for the most obvious, transparent reasons: if government doesn't work, why not let the rich keep all the money.
