Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Love to see it!

This is in one of the most conservative districts in Wisconsin ⤵️

Clinical trials for the most serious diseases halted. Research grants ended. 1,500 NIH workers fired. All probationary employees fired- these were the brightest, fully trained & vetted, most talented next generation of public servants - fired. This is not ending “waste, fraud or abuse”’

Pay attention to Tim Snyder.

👀 🔥

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

On a Saturday too? Wow — well, here’s a summary of what Republicans voted to do this week: - Defund Medicaid - Defund Medicare - Not to protect IVF funding - Not to protect food assistance

To our public servants, I’m sorry you are being threatened. You deserve so much better. I remember how proud I was when I first swore my oath as a civil servant. Honor of a lifetime. Remember why you chose to serve. Stay strong. I and many others will be right by your side.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

Planned USPS changes could put people’s lives at risk by delaying medications, mail-in ballots, financial documents, and letters of great importance. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Wise man…

He nails it.

“Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it—and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so.” —the defiant Maine Gov. Janet Mills www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Associated Press sues White House over ban from Oval Office and Air Force One www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Wait, excuse me, a book tour?

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

It’s a cult.

The Trump administration halted defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau after the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit filed a lawsuit.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Aspen Hill, MD today

🚨 New Analysis 🚨 Cuts to federal funding for state programs to fund tax breaks for corporations and the ultra-wealthy could harm millions of New Jerseyans. Read more: www.njpp.org/publications...

Always stand up to a bully

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE??? CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES 202 224-3121 THIS IS WRONG !!!

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

Today I honor the late great Congressman John R. Lewis on what would have been his 85th birthday. If folks know about my clapbacks, understand this is my version of “Good Trouble.”

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.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨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!

Unless Congress adds this back in, starting April 1 Medicare will no longer reimburse for telehealth or video visits.

New Jersey's Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday approved a controversial bill on primary ballot design. Critics warn it may confuse voters and favor certain candidates! Read NJ Spotlight News' story on the bill and concerns raised by advocates. www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/02/stro...

A whooping 83% of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent J6 rioters. EIGHTY-THREE PERCENT!!!

Trump's shameful decision to end TPS for Haiti could be a death sentence for more than 500,000 Haitian nationals living in the US. My full statement with the House Haiti Caucus.

Hamss' display of tiny caskets was sick. But even worse, their lie about Shiri Bilbas, still missing. All people of good will must condemn this www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...

Shades of the Christie-era!!

Defending Trump’s power grab with the “unitary executive theory” is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.
