Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Good trouble

New — All Department of Defense agencies were sent a video of an agitated Pete Hegseth debunking supposedly fake media stories. Today at least one agency called an “emergency” town hall and forced employees to watch the propaganda. www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

Rubio is a sad caricature of a man with no self-respect and no soul.

Thank you, Jamie Raskin! You carry the hopes and the support of millions of us who will not let our democracy go.

What can you do? Tell the stories. Share them with your family, friends, and MAGA acquaintances. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

And not a long line of every member of congress who wants camera time.

After SecDef Hegseth's comments on Ukraine and reporting on Trump's call with Putin, one thing is clear: This Administration is ready and willing to throw Ukraine under the Bus. At Country First, we stand with Ukraine. www.country1st.com/ukraine

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

God bless us everyone! We're not going away!

President's Day protest in rural NY, the most conservative gerrymandered CD in the state. Wind chill 0. Resist the billionaires...do your job, congress... We're not going away!

This is how a swan lands in water

Doing great 👍
