Republicans are fine with parading the American Cabinet in front of their leader. trump sat quietly like a leashed dog

This is hypocritical. Veterans are no more entitled than any other American. If there is injustice then it needs to be righted. All you are doing is creating a false elitism.

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

You gotta have faith

Tragic fate for a once-important newspaper.

The signing of the “Outer Space Treaty” in 1967, effectively the only international space law we have. 1) The “treaty” itself doesn’t really have any teeth. 2) It was signed in a different era, when space capabilities and aspirations were radically different. Houston, we have a problem. 🔭🧪🚀

"...a new vehicle shouldn't really have to have all the panels replaced." www.roadandtrack.com/news/a638572...

True hero.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

WTAF. Were his parents a communist sleeper cell from Cuba? Seriously.

Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy "What #Musk is up to is #illegal. Most egregiously, his deletion of entire depts and Trump’s refusal to spend as directed by Congress is unconstitutional. That’s why courts enjoined them." www.publicnotice.co/p/elon-musk-...

A rapist racist convicted felon and his GOP MAGA cult have crowned him King and he’s actively destroying every fabric of American democracy and society. But her emails. But her laugh. But they are too qualified. But she’s half black half South Asian.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Write it down! Trump’s coming for your Medicaid. Social Security is next!

This man should be congratulated. Hero!

If you're wondering why the right spent most of today whining about #SNL50, it's because they want to distract you from the fact that they're attempting to gut Social Security and Medicare to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

Under Trump, the federal government is set to purchase $400 million worth of Teslas. Where is DOGE, Elon? Conflict of interest?

This fight will not be easy.  What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured. But I believe that we will survive.  Do not descend into despair.

Some strategists think Dems shouldn't defend USAID because foreign aid is unpopular But this @goodauth.bsky.social piece shows strong support for many types of aid Americans also dislike changes to status quo and are increasingly concerned about Musk's influence goodauthority.org/news/how-dem...

Bloop!

Anyone I can add to this pack? go.bsky.app/ACFR7Rh

Having a National Prayer Breakfast doesn't make us a Christian country. That would require caring for the poor & sick, welcoming the stranger and only letting sinless people execute prisoners.

The US government has been turned over to a group of extraordinarily ignorant people, and they are working to destroy science in this country. Cutting over half the NSF budget would save < 0.1% of the federal budget, but do incalculable harm. Simply heartbreaking. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities. Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

What Fonzie should have done

Think of innovative ways to disrupt Project 2025. And share.

Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge. Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.

😡

In the same way the media treated Trump as a normal candidate -- because, hey, one of the two parties nominated him, so he must be ok -- they're also treating his more insane ideas as rational because, hey, the president proposed it, it must have some merit.
