No, really guys. Democracy is teetering on the brink. Trump and Musk are nihilists that could GAF. Your mom will get kicked out of her assisted living facility, her Social Security will be gone and so will yours. Go to a town hall and pepper your gerrymandered rep with demands for answers!

There’s gotta be complicit Democrats. There just have to be. Game plan is to occasionally look pissed. No one’s protesting, no one’s fighting. The end of the United States and the plan is to sit on one’s hands. Ted Cruz was more active than this when he was in the minority.

She needs to be in charge of Oversight. Currently, we have a 70+ year old man, battling cancer who looks and is unwell. Oversight needs a 'don't fuck with me' face and she's got it.

Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. 1.7 million Washingtonians rely on Medicaid, including half of all babies. I’m going to fight to protect their coverage.

Trump is projecting far more power than he actually has. The executive orders makes it seem as if he has complete control, but much of it is smoke and mirrors, PR for his base. An authoritarian only wins if we let them win. Don’t make his job easy by making us believe we’re already defeated.

Part 1 of a series about exactly what has happened over the past month, how it’s happening, and what is likely to happen next This one's about the actual structure of DOGE, which is not an ad-hoc agency overstepping its mandate but a carefully-crafted weapon intended to unmake the government 🧵

If the GOP has majorities in both houses of Congress, and the budget process is just starting, why are their members so weak and worthless that they have to let a wealthy South African and a bunch of his employees with unformed prefrontal cortexes sift through the budget?

" When “doing your own research” means Googling the cost of child-size coffins. Science-denial, disinformation, & ignorance comes at a steep price, and kids are the ones paying. Powerful cartoon by @misterjesseduquette on IG.

The new Macklemore video everyone’s talking about. You might think it’s about Palestine, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about social media controlling what we see, hear, and think. It’s a call to action. Whew… “fucked up.” youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

These mass firings will set our country back but we are not powerless. We can all stand up for a government that works for middle-class families & working people—not just billionaires who will never need to call about their Social Security or file a disability claim at VA. apnews.com/article/trum...

Nice! Glad a democratically elected leader can reflect his humility, service, and mindful protection of our country’s most important principle, the rule of law.
