#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This is quite a thing to find 18 paragraphs down in a story. wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

Senator Raphael Warnock in the Senate while they start an all-night session to protest Russell Vought's nomination: "Project 2025 is no longer theoretical. It is unfolding right before our very eyes in real time." Fact.

This !!

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

February 4, 2025:

JUST IN: The FBI Agents Association, repped by @markzaidesq.bsky.social, has filed a second lawsuit on behalf of agents who sayd their inforation may be publicly disseminated and used as part of a purge. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It wild to me that DOGE would actually send “contracts” with shoddy and suspect legal language to federal career attorneys that even non-lawyers would recognize as bullshit.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

FAFO, senator. You did this. You made this monster.

In two weeks, Alan found out everything he voted for was a lie. How long will it take for the rest to figure it out?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Biology Conception results in a single cell that does not have gonads or make gametes, obviously. It's weeks into development before the organs for pelvic anatomy start to be established, &even then, how they'll develop isn't a given. 1/x

Donald Trump is over 30 minutes late to the wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. He clearly doesn't care about making people wait outside for him in the cold.

No words….

NEW: Stranded in DC after your orange overlord uninvited you to the Inaugural? Don't worry! There's plenty to do! Here are some suggestions: www.muellershewrote.com/p/suggestion...

Those of us who couldn’t feel our toes until Valentine’s Day after the jam-packed, joyous inauguration of President Obama, suspect this move indoors may be driven more by the prediction of a relatively thin crowd, rather than the cold.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 43. 1/8/25. Today was absolutely bonkers! I couldn’t make some of this stuff up on my most creative day. Here is everything that happened today. Buckle up! open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

NEW: Smith has filed his opposition to Aileen Cannon’s injunction. He transmitted the report to Garland yesterday, who intends to make Vol I PUBLIC and to keep Vol II only to Congress as it’s still pending. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

However hard your life is, remember that you have more dignity than the richest man to ever exist, who used a sock puppet to post this about himself.

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

Deradicalization has poor odds of success, and while I don't participate in derad work I've got nothing but love and respect for the folks that do. A huge majority of derad work happens in prisons, it's mostly invisible and it's happening in the darkest most hopeless places our society has invented

It's working! Keep calling him Vice President Donald Trump!

I will post this everyday for the next 4 years as a reminder that Jan 6th was a day of insurrection.

JD Vance is just Kyle Rittenhouse with a beard and bigger boobs.

The terrorist who attacked a Christmas market in Germany was a militant AfD supporter and Elon Musk fan. Elon says AfD, a far right neo nazi party in Germany is what is needed to "save Germany."

'REPUBLICANS CUT CHILD CANCER RESEARCH FROM FUNDING BILL AFTER MUSK’S MEDDLING' If there's just one headline to share far-and-wide today, it's this one. Make sure everybody knows. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

MAHA, my ass

Just so we’re clear what just happened: Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to. They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research. And then they failed to pass that bill too.

You’ve got to be kidding me. The Mayor of NYC is escorting a murder suspect like he captured the Joker? What a dipshit. The funniest part is it wasn’t his massive vaunted NYPD didn’t the guy but some dude eating breakfast at McDonalds did.

Is there still a Republican alive with a pulse who ACTUALLY BELIEVES that Trump has any intention whatsoever of cutting the federal budget and/or reducing the deficit? Is it possible that there can be someone out there who is that naive and stupid? DOGE is a smokescreen. BS.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

FML. Exactly what we need - another potential pandemic as the circus comes back into town. You think last one was bad? Wait till RFK gets a say.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits. Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. HANDS. OFF.
