Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

Governor Mills of Maine…YOU'RE A FREAKIN ROCK STAR !

More of this

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

So I heard about the disastrous GA town hall for that Republican rep. 🤣 This possibility is probably why Senator Susan Collins NEVER does town halls in Maine. She doesn’t want to take the chance. Coward not to face the people.

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.

DOGE means breaking America from the inside. We are under attack rapid fire bloodless attack that will result in America destroyed as we know it. DOGE shut funding spigot for medical research. Scientists are calling it ‘the end of science’ in America www.yahoo.com/news/doge-sh...

Love it!

All the GOP MAGA are 100% for states' rights, until is Governor Janet Mills in our great state of Maine. 🤣

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

I’ve been on Facebook for yrs, still there, with old classmates, lifelong friends, coworkers, etc. Didn’t want to offend anyone, so stayed away from politics & used Twitter (now here) for that. Now I’m going full liberal on FB. It’s too dire not to. They can de-friend me all they want. I’m all in.

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

Why is the media acting like this is all normal?!

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Being from the South, I can definitively say a great many southerners never got over the fact they lost the Civil War and are itching for another one.

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

Europe has every right to isolate the United States. No way do they need to be sharing military or other info with us. They should not tell us anything. We need to keep them safe. It’s not their fault 31% of Americans elected a fascist.

Apparently a lot of Americans are ok with a dictator as long as it’s *their* dictator.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

🚨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!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Dear business owners that voted for Trump, You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

BREAKING: The Senate has just voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director in a narrow 51-47 majority. trump nominee Chris Wray passed 92-5. Only Rand Paul voted against James Comey. Robert Mueller was confirmed 98-0. Patel is historically UNFIT.

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Y’all, I can’t get over this letter to our local paper. His premise apparently is God is in charge but then had to rationalize Biden as POTUS so he says God put Biden in to ruin the country so we could see in comparison how great Trump is. MAGA THINKS THIS WAY. 😳

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
