Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

The NFL and @glaad.bsky.social have worked together for nearly 15 years to make football a place where everyone belongs. The NFL's support is a powerful message to athletes and fans: you are seen, you are valued and you have a place in the game.

"Seeing my teenage daughter, Ruby, stand up in her church and claim her space as a proud trans woman was one of the most joyous days of my life. Our congregation, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Cypress, held a renaming liturgy for Ruby in June 2021." www.texasobserver.org/trans-childr...

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

Republicans are going along with Elon Musk's unlawful power grab. They're okay with an unelected billionaire who has no congressional authority having his hands on the Treasury's payment system and your Social Security number. Remember this.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

The fundamental issue that DOGE is failing to address isn’t the size of the government or how “efficient” it is — but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."

Six years ago, I gave this commentary on Trump's first trans military ban. Every word is still true. There is zero credibility to what Trump claims now about trans service members. This attempted ban is cruel, unnecessary, and it will make our nation far less safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oILW...

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal. Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel. The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.

Trump is essentially carrying out an illegal shutdown of the federal government, putting tens of millions of American lives at risk. Dems in Congress: this is a very easy call. Announce an immediate boycott of all nominations and legislation until federal funding is restored.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
