🐕 Couldn’t make it up if we tried — the same day Trump celebrates K9 Veterans Day… DOGE cuts hit the TSA and they stop feeding and taking care of their bomb-sniffing dogs 😕

Pressley on Trump praising Schumer: "I don't think we should be moving in any way to elicit praise from Donald Trump, who has no respect for Congress and the power of the purse, who is by the hour rolling out executive actions that are lawless ... this is a hostile govt takeover. He is a dictator."

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

Aaron has a number of clips from GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards’ town hall in #NC11 and each one is crazier then the next. Edwards won his seat by 14 points in 2024. Under normal circumstances I’d say that puts him out of reach in 2026. But based on the booing, I’d say these are not normal circumstances.

imagine supporting DOGE rifling through everyone's private data and posting classified information online while also clutching your pearls about stuff like this

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations. Tom Homan and Kristi Noem blame lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Trump continues to outrageously drive the knife deeper into Ukraine’s back. Further victim-shaming Zelensky and Ukraine, further cutting the legs out of their fight, and further helping Putin. www.ft.com/content/c58f... It’s betrayal.

🚨”Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo” There it is. As I’ve long warned. The Musk/Trump flamethrower is gonna hit VA harder than almost anywhere. And ~25% of all VA workers are vets. apnews.com/article/vete...

A note about last night’s speech, even more relevant given today’s VA cut news. More next hour with @nicollewallace.bsky.social.

San Antonio is home to 90,000+ veterans who risked everything to serve. I challenge Trump and Musk to come to our city and explain why tax cuts for billionaires matter more than their lives. This plan is illegal, and I will not support a budget that makes harmful cuts to VA programs or services.

If they do fire 80,000 VA workers, that would be 1/6 of the VA's workforce. Over 9 million veterans are enrolled in VA healthcare, & in 2021 alone, 6.8 million received care. These cuts will undoubtably result in avoidable deaths due to care shortages & delays. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Somewhere, there is a veteran suffering from PTSD calling the VA suicide hotline and thanks to Elon, no one's answering.

Wow, this administration hates Vets. As someone who has worked in a VA and has taken care of some of the most amazing Americans I've ever met, I am so angry. This is awful.

As you've seen, we're always happy to post announcements for various protests. This one is especially urgent after the news today about laying off 85k VA employees by the end of the year. Please repost this and show up angry for veterans at your state capitols or DC on March 14! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This so the very rich can get a big tax cut? Obscene. They are defunding Veterans Affairs. 🛑

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

Heads up!!! After February 25, you will no longer be able to download kindle books that you purchased. So make sure you take the time to download and save your library this weekend. And also, divest from Bezos and Amazon!!!
