Rep. Mike Johnson is praying that he’ll have to votes to cut Medicaid. So let him know how that makes you feel : 202-225-4000

🎯

Abbots policies and restrictive abortion laws have killed women but Apple decides to reward him with 22,000 jobs. They just don’t give a shit do they?!

Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked, three years ago today. Près.Macron is trying to convince him to not turn his back on our allies. I’m afraid that Macron is overestimating his ability to get that person to care, because he truly doesn’t unless there’s money to be made.

What Republicans don’t understand is that Democrats would love to be wrong about their party. We would give everything we had if it meant peace, less suffering, healthcare , education and financial stability for all. But they win elections and start dismantling every program that helps citizens.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

He nails it.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Bannon does a Nazi salute and my stomach churns. We need to stop them !

Social Security will save $205B because it will not have to pay out benefits to 1.7M Americans who died from #COVID. fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

We didn’t have an election, we had an auction and we got sold to the highest bidder.

We all saw that Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin’s puppet is once more in the WH, spewing Russian propaganda.

The U.S. was founded on principles that was the antithesis of a kingdom. Republicans are the first to shout about freedoms but are absolutely silent when actual freedoms are being ripped away. It’s not patriotism if it’s only for show.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

DEI isn’t the problem, giving positions of power to the incompetent is. With all of the rampant incompetence and corruption in this current administration, we will see it fall like a badly run business.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

Absolutely disgusted to see Rubio be part of a negotiation about Ukraine without Ukraine or European involvement. The US under Trump will turn its back on all of our allies.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Nothing says government waste like spending tax dollars on going to the Super Bowl and Daytona 500 while people are dying in floods, losing their jobs and healthcare and children going hungry.

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years. Our veterans deserve better. If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121 And share your story: www.veterans.senate.gov/contact-rank...

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Is this the «  small government «  the GOP had harped about since my childhood ? The don’t tread on me people are wiping their feet all over us.

Does the idiot honestly think that you can just move 2million people without any pushback ? Are they just going to roll out the red carpet ? What do they have in their brains ?

I think the Canadian government needs to advertise General Mark Milley’s speech on every social media it can:

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

Americans know the heartbreak of a school shooting and we wouldn’t wish this violence on anyone. My heart goes out to the families in Orebro, Sweden tonight.

Please Participate If You Can. Kindly Repost! 💙😎

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

The DOGE kids showing up at Treasury:

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Tax cuts for billionaires!! And to pay for it we will cut Aid to actual STARVING humans!

No, but some 19-year-old tech bro sent an email.

I'll hammer this point until my fingers bleed: The Trump administration is actively, intentionally evil. And any member of Congress or the Judiciary who goes along with their criminality is actively, intentionally evil, too. And Democrats better talk in terms that stark.
